SPY trade ideas

SPY to $650 in January?SPY recently retraced to the bottom of our Magic Linear Regression Channel with a large 3%+ move. Today, there was a nice bounce bounce from the channel bottom, back up to yesterday's open. So, what's next for SPY. The Magic Linear Regression Channel shows upside potential to it's baseline back at its recent all-time highs, and the potential for a higher move to the $630-$650 range. However, there is also the potential for it to fall back through the channel. Since we've been in a bull market for awhile now, that channel break would have to happen more definitively in order for that to be a likely scenario. We've recently introduced the Magic Candles PRO indicator, which shows high volume candles that have very little price movement. When paired with the Magic Linear Regression Channel on a 1 day chart, it tends to show reversals at key levels on the Magic Linear Regression Channel. However, because we had a large move down on Weds, Dec. 17th 2024, and a large move up on Friday, Dec. 20th 2024 and ended up at the open of Thurs., Dec. 18th 2024, we get a doji on the 2 day chart that shows a massive "volume hammer" signal not seen since 2019, 5 years ago. This signals that we are on the verge of a large sustained move. Again, because we've been in a bull market, and there aren't any very strong signs that it is over, we suspect that the large sustained move will be to the upside, because of the signal. If the price breaks down out of the channel, then we'll be in for a nice downward ride. Until that happens, though, we're bullish as we approach the all-time high again, and all the way to the $630-$650 range.

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 12-31: Top PatternHappy New Year Everyone, Today's pattern is a TOP pattern. This suggests the SPY/QQQ will rally in early trading, attempting to identify a resistance level and then rolling into a TOP type of pattern. I don't expect the markets to fall much after reaching the top/resistance level. I expect it to be more of a stalling type of price action after reaching resistance. Gold and Silver will likely attempt to confirm a base/bottom near recent lows. I don't expect too much movement in metals today. Bitcoin moved below recent support, then rejected back to the upside. If this support fails, Bitcoin will move strongly to the downside over the next few days. As we move into 2025, capital will start to rush back into the markets in early January. This low-liquidity phase will end near Jan 5 through Jan 8. Be prepared for price to attempt to revert back into normal 0.5 to 1.25% price ranges - consolidating as liquidity increases in the markets over time. Remember, the first half of 2025 will be very volatile - so buckle up and get ready for some big price rotation in early 2025.

SPY is going up and into the New YearThe SPY will start going up and continue into the New Year for about 14 days which has been the average upward movement in the past few months. I typically use Heikin Ashi Candlesticks as they show more of a directional move as opposed to regular candles. However, since I have used regular candles in the past, I tend to switch back and forth until I get more comfortable with the Heinkin Ashi Candlesticks. You can see my past posts on why I favour the Heinkin Ashi Candlesticks. Typically, you are only supposed to enter after you see 2 green candlesticks of the Heikin Ashi Candlesticks. In the past, there has been an average move of 34 points on the SPY which would make the target point of 614. (There has been an extreme move of 53 points, but I think that is unlikely. That would make the target equal to 633. But that is an extreme point not a likely point.) The Fibonacci number of 1.618 is 624. This is a good second target point. My time target is about a 12 to 14 day move. This would make Jan 9th the time target. If the SPY hits any one of those targets I am out of my trade. Happy Trading!! In the last few days of the month of January or beginning of February, I suspect the market will start to head lower for that one month. But I will address that in my next chart. The market can always change between now and then. Summary: 34 point move= 614 1.618 fib move=624 12 day move = Jan 9th **can be an extreme move of 53 points, but unlikely= 633 There is an online trading conference/summit I try to attend every 3 to 4 months where I have gotten some of my ideas from. The next one is from Jan 13th - 18th called Wealth365 You can register for the event at www.wealth365.com

Technical Analysis Idea for SPYChart Pattern Identification: Inverted Head and Shoulders Pattern: Left Shoulder: Look for a decline followed by a minor rally, forming the left shoulder. Head: A further decline creating a lower trough, forming the head. Right Shoulder: A subsequent rally and decline forming a higher low, creating the right shoulder. Neckline: Draw a trendline connecting the peaks of the left shoulder and the head. This line acts as a resistance level. Entry and Exit Strategy: Entry Point: Consider entering a long position when the price breaks above the neckline with strong volume, confirming the pattern. Stop Loss: Place a stop loss below the right shoulder to manage risk. Target Price: Measure the distance from the head to the neckline and project it upwards from the breakout point to set a target price. Squeeze Momentum Indicator: Confluence Signal: Use the squeeze momentum indicator to confirm the breakout. Look for a shift from red to green bars, indicating increasing bullish momentum. Momentum Confirmation: Ensure the squeeze dots turn from black to green, signaling the end of a consolidation phase and the start of a potential upward move. Additional Considerations: Volume Analysis: Confirm the breakout with a significant increase in volume, supporting the validity of the pattern. Market Context: Consider broader market trends and news that might impact SPY's price movement. PYTH:SPY AMEX:SPY

12/30 Watchlist + NotesAMEX:SPY - Short week from Xmas leaves us with an inside weekly setup to start the new year. The way 2-1-X and 3-1-X setups (Inside bar setups) work, is they either confirm what happened previously, or negate it. In this specific scenario on the weekly, we have a large red week of selling (2D, followed by a pretty neutral inside week (1). Next week either goes 2D, confirming the selling from the previous week and therefore showing evidence of continuation lower, or we negate that selling by making a higher high (2U) and looking to reclaim the highs from the big red week from when FOMC occurred. We can't predict which way the next week will go, but we can at the very least imagine what has to occur for both bull and bear scenarios to be successful. Simply put, above last weeks high means we are targeting the weekly high from the week prior to last week. Below last weeks low means we are targeting the weekly low from the week prior to last week. Break either side and come back into last weeks range means we are failing to confirm/negate what the signal is indicating, and then we target the other side. EX: Monday pokes above last weeks high but closes red. We then would look to engulf the week and create a 1-3 combo on the weekly. This week should be similar to last week, meaning it may be tougher to trade since we have a few negative considerations and less ideal conditions to trade. Considerations for the upcoming week: For starters, we have another short week with new years day on Wednesday being a full day closure for the markets. Short week means less time for weekly candles to form, and therefore, likely chance of less volume to occur compared to normal weeks. Secondly, its the new year! This means we see all new candles on every timeframe up to the yearly chart. So, new Year, Quarter, Month, Week, Day, Hour, etc. Because of this, we will see issues with decoupling. This means the Year, Quarter, and Month will all be the same exact candle until we get to the second month and quarter of the year. Because the week starts in 2024 and ends in 2025, the week will be decoupled, but the M, Q and Y will not. Again, not the biggest issues ever, but just considerations to have in mind. Weekly Watchlist: (Side Note: I have added all of my charts for individual tickers mentioned for further clarity on what I am seeing with these setups) Bullish: NASDAQ:MRVL - 3-1-2U W to confirm bright green M, Y NASDAQ:AVGO - 2-1-2U W to confirm FTFC Up. Relative strength. 4HR 2-1-2U and 1HR 3-2U for Intraday entries Monday Bearish: NASDAQ:SMCI - Shooter 2U W to confirm failed 2U month. Super nice Daily BF NYSE:AI - 2-1-2D W to trigger Shooter failed 2U M. Gorgeous monthly Broadening Formation. NASDAQ:MSTR - 3-1-2D W. BTC with a weak setup on the major TFs. Looking to capitalize through MSTR and other names in that space NYSE:BRK.B - Shooter 3 D. Weekly 2-2U too weak to hit magnitude last week. Month is 3-1 but big red currently. May be early on this but with similar setups in the Financial industry, this is one I want to watch. NASDAQ:AMD - Hammer revstrat D to trigger Weekly 2-1-2U at Monthly Exhaustion level. Yearly has a nasty bearish revstrat setup forming, but if we are just daytrading this, it looks good for an exhaustion play intraweek. Otherwise will be watching all next year for that Y revstrat to play out Neutral: NYSE:SHOP - 3-1 W. Month Failing 2U. NASDAQ:NVDA : Currently Shooter 2U W. Normally this is just bearish, but the 2W chart can go hammer 1-2-2U, and M is 2D but close to open meaning it is failing that downside signal. I could see this going either way, but its such an interesting setup that I wanted to include it.

"Market Corrections Ahead of the Presidential Inauguration."Corrections are a part of the stock market, signaling moments of weakness and opportunity. Here's a breakdown of the current market decline levels, ranging from the recent 5% pullback to the potential 20% drop that defines a bear market. These are the levels that I will be watching to let me know the momentum of this current shorter term downtrend. Historical Context: Over the past 50 years: 5-10% declines occur about 3-4 times per year on average. 10-20% corrections happen roughly every 2-3 years. Full bear markets (20%+ declines) are rarer but significant, averaging one every 6-8 years. This chart visualizes the current levels, helping traders and investors understand where we stand in historical context and where the market could potentially head. Always remember that as hard as some corrections and declines can be, they all create buying opportunities for long term investors.

2024 SOY: Start Of the Year, Market OutlookIn this SOY, I will be discussing the market outlook to help retail investors plan for the year ahead. Please note that this is not financial advice, and I am not licensed to provide such advice. The insights shared here are my personal opinions based on statistics, technical analysis, macroeconomics, and seasonality statistics to manage maximum position sizing on a per-asset basis. You should always consult a licensed professional before making any and all financial decisions. The main tickers I will be focusing on are SPY, QQQ, MSTR (which is included in QQQ), and VIX. Macro Economics Overview Politics will be the single most deterministic factor for performance this year and over the next four years. Politics defines policy, policy defines macroeconomic conditions, and macros determine both the direction of a trend as well as the strength of that trend . Therefore, only inexperienced or uneducated traders ignore or object to the influence of politics when making financial decisions. Additionally, we must consider several legitimate concerns that could impact the market, including: - Environmental disasters - Pandemics - Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS) - Federal Reserve interest rates - Sanctions and tariffs - Cyber warfare - The potential for conflict with China - SPY VS QQQ These factors must be discussed, evaluated, and modeled in order to properly assess the risks associated with individual portfolios. With this outline out of the way, let begin... Environmental Disasters The unpredictability of natural disasters, especially in a climate-altering world, can disrupt entire sectors, particularly agriculture, commodities, energy, and insurance markets. This is perhaps one of the most lucrative areas to make money, as 30+ years of systemic mispricing of risk has compounded due to the entire field of economics and finance treating climate science as an "externality." This logical error and mismanagement means that insurance companies are now scrambling to rework their pricing and risk models, pulling out of markets. There will undoubtedly be political pushback against companies as a direct result. Companies such as the following are most likely to be effected by this: AIG, ALL, PGR, PRU, MET, TRV, CB, BRK.A, BRK.B, LMRK, CI, UNM, FNF, AFG, AFL, MFC. On a more broad market, leveraged ETFs like XLE (Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund) and DRN (Direxion Daily Real Estate Bull 3X Shares) can provide indirect exposure to sectors impacted by environmental disasters, particularly in the energy and insurance markets and Bear Call Spreads or Bull Put Spreads on these tickers may be more capital efficient way to hedge against risk compared to standard puts/calls. If you're looking to play this issue, these tickers and specific sectors may be worth doing your own research on and taking whatever appropriate step are relevant to you and only after speaking to a licensed professional. Pandemics The impact of pandemics on global markets can be both immediate and far-reaching. Historically, health crises like COVID-19 have caused significant disruptions across supply chains, labor markets, and consumer behavior, while exacerbating volatility in sectors such as travel, hospitality, and healthcare. Unfortunately the incoming American administration seems to not have learned their lesson that defunding pandemic response teams or the WHO is objectively a bad idea for everyone and has catastrophic economic and market impacts. The economic fallout from pandemics can lead to governments introducing lockdowns, stimulus measures (and inflation), and mass quarantines, all of which directly affect market sentiment and asset performance. While the immediate market response is often sharp and negative, opportunities exist for those who are able to identify long-term shifts in consumer behavior and industry transformation. For those looking to profit from potential market dislocations, ETFs like XLF (Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund) and XLY (Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund) may provide exposure to sectors that experience heightened volatility during pandemics. Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS) The CMBS market has shown vulnerability in recent years, particularly in the wake of rising delinquency rates on office and retail spaces. This risk may also be compounded by underwater bonds such as the one's held by silicon valley bank and the recent increases in the 10 yr. Banks holding large portfolios of CMBS have been reluctant to acknowledge the true value of these assets, waiting for them to transition from Hold-to-Maturity (HTM) status to Other Than Temporarily Impaired (OTTI) status, at which point they will be forced to mark these assets to market, likely at a steep loss. This has the potential to destabilize the financials of banks heavily invested in commercial real estate, particularly those holding assets tied to struggling sectors such as office buildings and retail malls. Leveraged ETFs like DRV (Direxion Daily Real Estate Bear 3X Shares) and SRS (ProShares UltraShort Real Estate) can be used to gain short exposure to the real estate sector, which is vulnerable to the risk of widespread CMBS impairments. Federal Reserve Interest Rates The Federal Reserve's interest rate policies remain a primary influence on market behavior. A rising interest rate environment typically pressures asset prices, particularly in sectors reliant on cheap credit, such as technology, real estate, and consumer discretionary stocks. Conversely, lower interest rates can fuel asset inflation, driving up equity and bond prices. As interest rates increase, companies with high debt levels or those in capital-intensive industries are more likely to face pressure on their earnings and stock prices. Leveraged ETFs like XLK (Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund) and XHB (SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF) are often impacted by rate hikes, which raise borrowing costs. On the other hand, TLT (iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF) tends to be more sensitive to lower interest rates. Sanctions and Tariffs Geopolitical tensions, particularly involving sanctions and tariffs, can have an immediate and profound impact on market dynamics. When countries impose tariffs or sanctions, it can disrupt global supply chains, raise production costs, and lead to higher inflation. Sectors such as industrials, energy, and manufacturing tend to be the most sensitive to trade policies, with tariffs acting as a hidden tax on businesses that depend on cross-border trade. To hedge against such risks, leveraged ETFs like XLI (Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund) and XLE (Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund) may be relevant, depending on how tariffs are applied. Shorting specific ETFs through Put Spreads or Bear Call Spreads can also be used to mitigate exposure to sectors most affected by escalating trade barriers or sanctions. Cyber Warfare The rise of cyber warfare represents a significant risk to businesses and economies globally. As attacks on critical infrastructure, financial institutions, and large corporations increase, markets may react with volatility, especially in tech-heavy sectors or industries that are heavily reliant on digital systems. The increasing prevalence of ransomware, data breaches, and other malicious attacks can lead to costly disruptions, decreased consumer trust, and regulatory fines. Companies in sectors such as technology, defense, and financial services are at the highest risk of cyber-attacks. Leveraged ETFs like HACK (ETFMG Prime Cyber Security ETF) can provide targeted exposure to companies focused on cybersecurity. Additionally, options strategies such as Protective Puts and Straddle Spreads can be useful for managing risk in the event of a significant cyberattack impacting the market or a specific company. The Potential for Conflict with China The growing tensions between the U.S. and China present a major risk to global markets, particularly in sectors reliant on international trade. If conflict were to escalate, either economically or militarily, there could be profound consequences on global supply chains, trade agreements, and investor confidence. A leveraged ETF like YINN (Direxion Daily China Bull 3X Shares) can provide exposure to Chinese equities, while YANG (Direxion Daily China Bear 3X Shares) provides inverse exposure to China’s stock market. When Russia decided to engage in a costly conflict, which to date has sacrificed more russian lives than the total death of both nukes on Japan, leveraged ETFs like RUSL (Direxion Daily Russia Bull 3X Shares) became a particularly effective tool for profiting from volatility associated with geopolitical instability, though the delist made it difficult to fully capture such profits. MSTR’s Impact on SPY vs QQQ Performance Differentials The inclusion of MSTR (MicroStrategy) in QQQ (Nasdaq-100 ETF) is a key factor that could cause significant performance differentials between SPY and QQQ . MSTR's heavy exposure to Bitcoin ties its performance directly to the volatile crypto market. A future crypto winter—a prolonged bear market in crypto—could cause MSTR to underperform, negatively affecting QQQ due to its weighting in the ETF. If this happens, QQQ may undergo rebalancing, potentially removing or reducing MSTR's weight to mitigate the impact. This would create a divergence between QQQ and SPY , as SPY is unaffected by crypto’s volatility and remains more stable with its broader sector exposure. Thank for reading this year's SOY! I hope you enjoyed this and I wish you all the best luck navigating the market. Don't forget to hit the boost, follow and consider gifting a subscription if this helped you in anyway.

SPY Hourly Insight 01/08Today SPY did manage to fall below that 586 level that I mentioned yesterday, and filled that gap below. Buyers quickly stepped in and defended that level again. I'm bullish only if we continue to defend that range. Today was definitely a scalpers paradise, on the hour we ranged and chopped all day. Tomorrow markets are closed in remembrance of President Jimmy Carter. We are double inside on the hour for all my straters out there, which could give us a push to those higher levels if we break out of that consolidation. These are the levels for Friday that I will be watching.

SPY rangebound between $580 and $600SPY has been pretty rangebound between $580 and $600 since November. Any time it drops near $580, buys have pounced, and whenever it goes near or above $600, sellers pounce. I think we'll continue to see more of this well through January and into February until we get a better sense of macroeconomic factors like Fed as well as global policy from the incoming Trump administration. The Fed and Panama Canal are the top two things that I'm watching. Some swing trade ideas: Iron Condor options strategy keeping $580 and $600 in mind. With Vix being at 18, this isn't a bad trade, just keep in mind that volatility can expand making OTM strikes still be unprofitable. - I don't think a strangle is a good idea, make it defined risk. Wait it out. This is my current strategy with SPY showing a head and shoulders pattern with a possible target near the 200 EMA. Put Ratio: Something like a 112 or 1122 might not be a bad idea keeping the 200 EMA in mind with the 200 EMA in the "trap" zone.
