SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 5-1 : Bottom-104Today's Bottom pattern suggests the markets will attempt to move downward - trying to find support.
Even though it may appear my May 2-5 Major Bottom pattern will not happen as I expect - this is a very good lesson for traders.
I'm not 100% accurate all the time. Sometimes, the markets do things that are not aligned with my research/patterns and sometimes the markets can be far more irrational than traders expect.
For example, I believe this current rally is more of a speculative rally in the SPY/QQQ/BTCUSD. There is nothing I'm seeing in the Crash Index (or TRAN) to support this upward price move other than traders attempting to "buy the dip".
Ultimately, I believe the current contraction in the global economy based on policies, tariffs and economic disruptions will continue to drive a consolidation, basing type of price trend, traders are buying into this dip and attempting to drive price upward on expectations of a growing global economy.
Time will tell how things play out - but my longer-term modeling systems are still Bearish.
I will be on the road with my father today - so I'm not going to be as available to answer questions.
Watch this video twice if you need to. It will be interesting to see how the next 5+ days in the markets play out.
As I stated, I'm not 100% accurate all the time. I do my best to try to help guide all of you through these market trends with my research and cycle patterns - but, that is not enough to guarantee 100% accuracy on any trade.
That's just how it is in the world. No one is 100% perfect at predicting market moves.

SPY trade ideas
SPY - dump or bull market is back?hi traders,
Some months ago, we shared the idea where we explained that SPX will experience a correction:
The targets were reached, and next we saw a decent bounce, which is very well visible on the monthly candle.
Today, I see a lot of excitement about the monthly close, and many people call for a new all-time high soon.
I want to bring to your attention the monthly close in 2000.
It looks very similar to what we got yesterday.
A long, lower-shadow wick resulted in a bearish imbalance characterised by an excess of sellers, exerting downward pressure.
I still can see SPY/SPX retesting 570-580 levels, but it doesn't change the fact that lower levels may be tested in the next few weeks/months.
We got a bearish cross on the monthly time frame, which is not a joke.
If bears take control, I expect SPY to visit 460~ levels and later even lower: 410-408.
Long story short:
1. Short-term bounce may continue.
2. Mid-term - bears will take control, and we will see a bigger correction.

Candlestick Patterns + Trend and Momentum: A Perfect CombinationCandlestick patterns provide valuable insights into price action, showing potential reversals, continuations, or market indecision. However, to significantly improve their effectiveness, combining candlestick analysis with trend and momentum indicators is essential. Here’s how you can use these combinations to trade with more confidence and accuracy.
1. Why Candlestick Patterns Matter
Candlestick patterns visually represent traders’ psychology through price movements, including four key prices: Open, Close, High, and Low. Some of the most common and useful patterns include:
Doji: Indicates market indecision and potential reversals.
Hammer & Hanging Man: Signals possible trend reversals at support or resistance.
Engulfing Pattern: Often marks the beginning of a significant reversal.
Morning/Evening Star: Combination patterns that strongly suggest a trend reversal.
2. Adding Trend and Momentum Indicators
Candlestick patterns alone might lead to false signals or confusion. By pairing them with other technical tools, such as moving averages, RSI (Relative Strength Index), or MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), you gain crucial context to confirm the reliability of the patterns.
Here’s how:
Trend Alignment:
Using moving averages, such as the 20 or 50-period EMA, helps confirm whether a bullish candlestick pattern appears in an uptrend (strengthening the signal) or countertrend (potentially weaker signal).
Momentum Confirmation:
Oscillators like the RSI or MACD can confirm the underlying momentum behind a candlestick pattern. For instance, a bullish engulfing pattern becomes more reliable if it coincides with RSI moving upward from oversold territory or MACD showing a bullish crossover.
Volume Analysis:
Higher volume on the candle that forms the pattern typically confirms increased market interest and strengthens the validity of the signal.
3. Practical Example: Bullish Engulfing + RSI
Imagine you spot a bullish engulfing pattern forming at a clear support level after a downtrend:
Step 1: Identify the Pattern: Confirm the bullish engulfing visually.
Step 2: Check RSI: Ensure RSI is below 30 or rising, signaling oversold conditions and potential bullish momentum.
4. Why This Approach Works
Enhanced Accuracy: Combining candlestick signals with trend and momentum indicators increases signal reliability.
Improved Risk Management: Clearer signals mean more confident entries and better-defined stop-loss levels.
Reduces False Signals: Multiple confirmations reduce the risk of false breakouts or reversals.
5. Final Tips
Always look for multiple confirmations (trend, momentum, volume) before making trade decisions based solely on candlestick patterns.
Be patient—waiting for full confirmation can help avoid premature trades.
Regularly backtest and practice recognizing these combined signals to strengthen your trading strategy.
SPY Eyeing Breakout — Trump Buzz & Options Walls Fuel Fire I'm breaking down SPY here the way I process it while flipping between daily and 1-hour charts.
Daily Timeframe:
The price action is flirting right at the top of this falling wedge pattern. What catches my attention is the strength in MACD and Stoch RSI—they're both pushing hard to the upside. This isn't a weak bounce. Momentum looks real, and we're sitting just under the 555–560 resistance range, which also happens to line up with a key structure break. If we can close above this upper wedge line, bulls might get the weekly breakout confirmation.
1-Hour Chart + GEX:
Now on the hourly, SPY already broke through the 550 level and hovered at 559 into the close. There’s some strong intraday buying volume confirming that breakout. But what's even more important to me is what GEX is showing—there’s a massive cluster of call walls stacked at 555 and 560. Today, the gamma flipped from neutral to green, and GEX data confirmed there's strong call exposure at 560. Meanwhile, the highest negative NETGEX put support sits deep at 545. This creates a strong upward magnet as long as we stay above 547.
Also, there’s buzz from today’s Trump investor roundtable. Headlines from that are already driving bullish sentiment, especially with tech and AI names in the mix. That political tailwind could be the final push that launches SPY through the wedge ceiling.
My Trade Plan:
* If price holds above 552, I’m watching 560+ as the upside magnet.
* Break and retest 555, I’ll consider a long scalp or debit spread targeting 560–563.
* If 547 breaks, that would be a red flag—puts might activate again and drag us toward 540.
Option Bias:
With IV low and GEX sentiment flipping bullish, I prefer buying calls or verticals over selling premium. But the 560 call wall is heavy, so I’m not chasing—wait for confirmation.

AAPL Compression Before the Break? 🔥Alright, here’s my breakdown on AAPL as I walk through the chart from the daily timeframe, zoom into the hourly, and then connect it with the GEX map for a directional play this week — especially with macro eyes watching SPY and the Trump/investor meeting narrative floating around.
🟩 Daily Timeframe – Holding Uptrend but Needs a Spark
On the daily chart, AAPL is still holding above the trendline and stacking candles inside a minor consolidation. The MACD is trying to curl back up and Stoch RSI looks like it’s reloading after last week’s overbought run. This type of compression right under resistance often leads to breakout setups if buyers step in — especially if SPY keeps grinding up like it did into close today. I’m keeping $215 and $220 in sight as those are the first higher timeframe targets if bulls really get control.
⏱ 1H Timeframe – Clean Structure, But Rejected at Resistance
Zooming into the hourly, you can see how clean AAPL has been. The recent move up tapped the GEX9 and GEX10 zones around $213–$215 before sellers pushed price down hard into the $209–$210 region. That rejection was healthy, volume surged, but now price is hovering near HVL ($205), which is the GEX-projected short-term support. If bulls defend $205 and reclaim $210 tomorrow morning, we could be in for a squeeze toward $213.50–$215 again.
📈 GEX + Options Data – A Battle Near GEX Walls
GEX levels are dense here. That $213.53–$215 band is the highest positive NET GEX wall — a heavy resistance area based on call positioning. Below, PUT walls are stacked at $205 and $200, with the -48% support at $200 acting like a trapdoor if bears take control.
But here’s what’s interesting:
* IVR is low (40.1), IV is steady, and the Options Oscillator shows some mixed interest.
* If the market mood improves (and SPY breaks out), this could become a gamma squeeze magnet toward $220.
* On the flip side, if AAPL can’t reclaim $210 early tomorrow, we may drift to retest $205 or even get a nasty flush to $200, especially with earnings risk nearby.
💡 What I’m Thinking:
This looks like a coiled spring. If SPY continues to rise and the Trump/investor meeting adds positive sentiment, AAPL might ride the flow toward $213–$215 and beyond. I’m watching the $210 reclaim as a trigger — no entry unless that happens. Options-wise, calls above $215 are aggressive but could pay off on momentum. Safer trades lie near the money for weekly scalps.
If AAPL fails $205, I might flip bias for a quick PUT scalp down to $200.
🛠 Suggested Trade Setups:
Bullish: If price breaks and holds above $210, look to long toward $213.50–$215 with stop under $207.
Bearish: If $205 fails, PUTs targeting $200 with a stop over $208 could work. Ideal setup would be a fake push toward $210 that gets rejected.

SPY - 700 is not impossibleA sneaky expanding diagonal for cycle wave 5 with a blow off extended 5th primary wave (final wave) makes the most sense to me. If that's what we are seeing right now, SPY might possibly hit low 700s in the next couple of years. Gold might pull back to low 200s in the meantime for a choppy wave 4. My plan is to switch from equities to gold at spy 700. Not a financial advice. This post is for educational purpose only
V-shaped Recovery SPY to 570-580 We formed a diamond bottom last week and had a false breakout to the downside that quickly turned bullish after it was revealed that Trump was just "trolling" when he mentioned wanting to fire Powell. Once we broke the soft 536 resistance we moved right to the downward trendline (drawn in yellow) hovered there briefly and then cracked through it.
We ended last week with a bullish engulfing on the weekly chart and spent these first 3 days at the high.
Good earnings kept the market bullish and in the last hour a mineral deal was signed with Ukraine.
The bears have little left in the tank, Tariffs look like they are going to be solved in the near future and fear is decreasing. Promising news on Ukraine is turning the wall of worry into a wall of excitement.
This is not feeling like a bear market rally, this is looking like the next phase of a bull market.
The decline trendline from march can be flipped to bullish and we are climbing steadily on that new line, this recovery is V shaped.
I expect resistance in the 570-580 range.
SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade Update For 4-30 : Moving Into FlaggingThis quick update video should help you understand how my May 2-5 Major Bottom pattern could represent a move into FLAGGING within an inverted EPP pattern.
If my research is correct, the next move for the market will be a moderate downward price trend that will represent the FLAGGING portion of the inverted EPP pattern.
You've all see how bullish EPP patterns play out over the past 3 to 5+ months. Now we get to see how this recent SPY low near 480 turns into an inverted EPP pattern. This is basically the same pattern - but forming in an inverted mode.
As we transition through this inverted EPP pattern, what I'm looking for is a breakdown move to create the new FLAGGING formation. This move aligns perfectly with my May 2-5 Major Bottom pattern and could be a perfect setup for the attempted "breaking of the Flag High" in late May 2025.
I'm watching Gold and Silver stay relatively strong today. So I'm seeing today's market move as a "reversion move" - not really a breakdown move (yet).
It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
If the markets move into Flagging, as I expect, the big opportunities will be to ride the Flagging & Breakdown patterns over the next 30+ days before we move into either an INVALIDATION or CONTINUATION phase of the inverted EPP pattern.
Price is the ultimate indicator - you just need to know what to look for.
Get some.

SPY – April 29, 2025 – Where to Next After This Push?Looking at SPY on the daily chart, it’s been riding a solid recovery wave from that sharp drop in early April. The last seven sessions have all printed green candles, showing persistent demand — but now we’re pressing right into the resistance zone around $554–$555, which aligns with the top of a previous range before that breakdown. The MACD histogram is still rising, showing bullish momentum, and the Stoch RSI is curled up in overbought territory. That’s not a sell signal on its own — it just means we’re extended and probably due for a cooldown.
When I zoom into the 1-hour chart, I notice something more subtle — SPY has been grinding up within a rising wedge. The candles are getting tighter near the top channel line, and volume is starting to fade a bit. That tells me we’re at a spot where either momentum explodes higher... or this move starts to stall out.
Now, overlay that with the GEX map, and here’s what jumps out:
* $555 is a thick cluster of Call Wall and Net GEX resistance — 44.9% of second-tier call positioning is stacked there.
* Above that, $557–$560 also has GEX walls, so upside beyond $555 could get sold into unless we see strong breakout volume.
* On the flip side, $547 and $545 remain the nearest areas of downside gamma support — price tends to bounce off these zones if tested.
My Thoughts: We’re reaching a point where the path of least resistance might shift. If bulls can decisively break above $555, especially with volume and a GEX unwind, there’s room toward $557–$560. But if we get stuck here and break below $552, I’d expect some profit-taking down toward $547–$545.
Trade Setups I’d Consider:
* Bullish Breakout Trade:
Above $555 with volume
Entry: $556
Target: $559–$560
Stop: $553.50
(Ideal with IV still relatively low and GEX unwinding from that zone)
* Fade Rejection Play (If SPY can’t clear $555):
Entry: ~$554 with reversal candle
Target: $547
Stop: $556
(Volume weakness + rising wedge breakdown would support this)
Options Thoughts:
* IVR is at 29, with IVx lower than the average — premium is relatively cheap.
* GEX shows 89% PUTs, which might seem bearish, but it also suggests market makers could support pullbacks for now.
* A $555C or $560C for this week is a high-risk chase — I’d only grab it if SPY breaks and holds above $555.
* Safer might be a put debit spread targeting $547 if the rising wedge breaks down.
This week could be pivotal. SPY has had a strong run, but now it’s flirting with a crowded options zone. Watch the $555 level closely — that’s where the real decision likely gets made.

SPY bear market?The causes of a bear market often vary, but in general, a weak or slowing or sluggish economy, bursting market bubbles, pandemics, wars, geopolitical crises, and drastic paradigm shifts in the economy such as shifting to an online economy, are all factors that might cause a bear market.
One definition of a bear market says markets are in bear territory when stocks, on average, fall at least 20% off their high. But 20% is an arbitrary number, just as a 10% decline is an arbitrary benchmark for a correction. Another definition of a bear market is when investors are more risk-averse than risk-seeking. This kind of bear market can last for months or years as investors shun speculation in favor of boring, sure bets.
SPY macro levels:
resistance: 613
pivot: 480
support: 348
Leaving Breadcrumbs For A Swing Or Setting A Trap?In my previous idea, I explained why I think the price could rise to the $580s and just wanted to provide a brief update on what I’m watching for this week. The market has felt lethargic recently despite rising roughly 8.25% over the last five sessions. The days of fretting over incremental movements feels like a distant memory. Fortunately, major data releases and large cap earnings should energize the market. While “C” waves are not required to meet specific sub-wave retracements, and can go straight to their targets without a significant pullback, we should still be prepared for the possibility of being faced with market whiplash. Taking all of this into account, I think there could be a pullback - especially after noticing an important clue right in front of me.
AMEX:SPY has been rising higher for the last five sessions in a jerky uptrend from last week’s lows and is close to filling a gap/imbalance at the $555 level on the daily chart. There is also a gap from $529-$534, however the price is much closer to filling the upper gap.
Other things I’m taking note of on the daily chart are the declining volume and a MA cross confirmation. The moving averages I’m using here are HMA (13; pink) EMA (34; yellow) and SMA (200; green), and I have found the Hull Moving Average crossing the Exponential Moving Average to be a fairly reliable indicator of a reversal. HMA will cross up on Tuesday if the price stays above the EMA.
For a different perspective, the 1000R ($10) chart shows the price action a little more smoothly. I noticed that for the month of April, each time the price swung lower, it did so by around $35. If it is assumed that this pattern continues for one more swing lower in what would be wave (b) of C, the next question would be: to which retracement level it would go?
There are a lot of people on the boards who think the price will move lower on Tuesday. If the price were to fall from around Monday’s close of $550, a $35 drop would take the price back to around $515, which would result in an approximately 80% retracement of wave (a). There is nothing wrong with this, and the price could reverse and extend to $580 from there, however I think such a deep retracement into wave (a) is the less likely scenario since the goal of this larger corrective wave is to keep the momentum moving higher to sell before the market tanks. I still charted it above to show what that would look like.
Alternatively, I am expecting SPY to move higher on Tuesday and pull back Wednesday and Thursday to continue printing what appears to be clean and proportional movements here in the first major corrective wave of the bear market.
The week ahead will have several events that could determine the market’s direction. The most important news should come from GDP and Core PCE data being released before the open on Wednesday. Regardless of how the market reacts, we can assume with relative confidence that the news will contribute to a large movement in price. Since I’m suggesting a $35 move down will happen at some point, I am anticipating Wednesday will start this movement.
Above the $555 gap there is an order block that the price should be gravitating towards. This would be an ideal area to absorb buy orders before SPY gets sent down. Taking an educated guess, $565 could be a key level that marks the end of wave (a). A $35 reduction from there would see the price retrace 61.8% (0.382 level on the chart) to $530. Since there is another gap around this level, it should be a logical area for the price to move next before beginning its final rise to around $580.
…
This idea makes more assumptions than my last one, so please trust your own instincts and form your own opinions. The market can be unpredictable, so patterns can fail at any time. This is why it is important to stay vigilant.
With that being said, I expect Tuesday to be another low volume day that could take the price in any direction; including sideways. Since Wednesday’s data should be a major driving force for price activity this week, it is important to assess which level the market is targeting just before the news comes out. We’ll see what happens, but I think institutions are going to look to prolong this corrective wave while they still can and offload shares at a good price, because the next time this sells off it will go much lower.
I appreciate all of the feedback I received on my last post, and if you enjoyed this one I’d love to know what you think. Good luck to all.
Probably going to be a choppy weekI think if you know how to draw well enough, yeah, you can kinda predict the future. Expecting price compression into 550 to the end of the week which would form a doji leading into May. Above the red line, we're more bullish, below the green line forming the compression triangle, we would be going bearish. An Iron Condor between 553 and 546 would probably work.
