20 YEARS OF SPY: IS THE BOTTOM IN?Hello Friends!
This is a 3 Week chart of SPY, showing you the past 20 years of price action... From the 2001 dot com bubble, to the 2022 recession, to today in 2023
I decided to explore the possibility of the bottom being in and developed a thesis based on this
Taking a look at the 3 Week MACD, we can see multiple golden crosses as highlighted by the YELLOW CIRCLES
Each and every single time the 3 Week MACD Golden Cross has occurred... It has triggered a multi year long bull cycle for the S&P 500 as shown via historical analysis.
The ONLY TIME this led to a fakeout was during the 2001 Dot Com Bubble era... From Approximately October 1, 2001 to February 14, 2002, SPY was rallying and shows signs of tremendous bullish action. However, turmoil came back in the Bears were in control once again.
The only reason markets continue to crash after February of 2002 was because the price had moved below the 50 WMA as indicated by the giant arrows
Due to weakness in SPY's price action during 2000 - 2002, we were never able to recover ABOVE the 50 WMA and crashed further as a result UNTIL the RSI BOTTOMED below 30
Fast forward to the 2010s, looking at 3 Week price action from December 2011 to the 1st half of 2020::::
You can see golden crosses on the RSI & MACD correlate immensely with multi year bullish price action
And I'd like to come to today as an example...
As of February 16, 2023, SPY is currently holding above the 50WMA level of approximately $401
if we can close above here on March 6, 2023. We will usher in the next Multi year bull run!
We are seeing welcome signs of a bullish reversal taking place, such as the 3 Week RSI continuing to show STRONG signs of bullish divergence playing out since May 31, 2022
The 3 Week RSI Golden Cross in combination with the 3 Week MACD likely also about to close a Golden Cross shows that this market is strong, the bulls remain in control for now, despite these turbulent times
Now I am no financial advisor, but my best advice right now is the following::: hope for the best, and prepare for the worst!

20 YEARS OF SPY: IS THE BOTTOM IN? (Pt. 2)The Sequel to one of my most famous TradingView Editors' Picks ideas: "20 YEARS OF SPY: IS THE BOTTOM IN?"
In this video, I revisit the same SPY chart & go thru comments from the original post, which is very telling of what sentiment was like back in early 2023.
Which looking back, that was the very beginning of this multi year bull market that we are currently in
ORIGINAL POST: 20 YEARS OF SPY: IS THE BOTTOM IN?
Where's The Top?Good evening traders,
If you're anything like me, you've probably been asking yourself for a few days now when SPY will top out? So here is my technical analysis with a breakdown of my thoughts and predictions for the next few upcoming weeks.
First and foremost, Trump took office on Jan 20th. The "Trump Pump" is alive and well, obviously. I'm starting to think the market was being retrained from a breakout under the Biden Administration, though we saw over a 25% return YTD.
Side note: This year is projected to do 3% on the S&P 500.
With that said, it is the S&P 500. The 500 largest companies in the United States. As Tech and AI take flight into 2025, it can only be assumed that large companies that make up the S&P 500 would be adopting these new resources in order to help them turn profits.
What does this mean for retail traders?
To put it simply, the trend is your friend, until it's not. These index funds, such as SPY have consumed bears for almost a consecutive 10 days, following a parallel channel towards a high target/trend line around the area of 623-626.
Until this channel of mayhem is broken, SPY is bullish. This is no man's land and we could change direction at any given moment. The lines of resistance are as follows: .. .. .. ..

$SPY Analysis, Key Levels and Targets for Today & TomorrowThe expected move for today is between 606 and 613 and that is a .54% move today and the only level we have in our trading range today is that 35 EMA you could see it’s been a pretty support all week and then we have that up gap from This Wednesday, which could give some added support at the bottom of the trading range. Monday’s contract at the bottom takes us in the middle of that gap and with how extremely overbought we are that 50 day moving average could be a really great target for next week.

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 1-23-25 : Carryover PatternToday's Carryover pattern suggests the markets will attempt to hold near recent support while attempting to determine trend. I view it as move of an indecisive day - looking to see if the markets can break to new all-time highs or if the markets have reached the top I've been discussing.
In my opinion, today will be a pause/consolidation day in the SPY/QQQ - leading to the big CRUSH pattern tomorrow.
Gold and Silver are under quite a bit of pressure this morning. The metals pattern is a BOTTOM pattern. So, I expect this selling in metals to be reflective of issues that will drive the SPY/QQQ downward tomorrow (the CRUSH pattern) and likely result in a moderate downward trend in the SPY/QQQ over the next 2 weeks.
Metals will recover and try to move higher as metals continues to hedge against global risks.
BTCUSD is moving downward - trying to break below the Flag Support level of the EPP pattern.
I believe tomorrow will be a pivotal day for the markets and today will be a fairly consolidated day overall.

$SPY January 23, 2025AMEX:SPY January 23, 2025
15 Minutes
The consecutive gap ups cannot sustain.
A pull back is required around 598-602 levels over the next 3 trading days for the moving average to converge.
I will have a contra setup to short 607-607 levels for 602 levels for the moment.
Usually in 15 minutes chart a difference over 15$ between 200 and 9.21 average results in sideways or a pull back.
SPY at a Crossroads: Key Levels and Options Strat for Max ProfitAnalysis and Trade Plan for SPY Based on the 1-Hour Chart
SPY is trading within a well-defined ascending channel, reflecting bullish momentum. However, key resistance at 607.82—backed by strong Gamma Exposure (GEX)—poses a critical decision point for traders. Here's a detailed breakdown of potential moves and strategies:
Key Levels to Watch:
1. Resistance:
* 607.82: Current high and GEX resistance.
* 610-612: Psychological level and channel extension.
2. Support:
* 605: Minor support within the trend.
* 599.56: Major support zone highlighted by GEX and channel lower boundary.
Momentum Indicators:
* MACD: Bearish crossover, signaling potential short-term weakness.
* Stochastic RSI: Overbought and turning downward, suggesting a possible pullback.
* Volume: Moderate, with no strong conviction near resistance.
Trade Plan for 1-Hour Chart
Bullish Setup (Breakout Above 607.82):
* Entry: Above 607.82, confirmed by strong volume.
* Target: 610 and 612 (upper channel resistance).
* Stop-Loss: Below 605.
Bearish Setup (Breakdown Below 605):
* Entry: Below 605, confirmed by increasing bearish volume.
* Target: 599.56 and potentially 595 (lower support).
* Stop-Loss: Above 606.
Options Strategies Based on GEX (5-7 DTE)
The GEX levels provide critical insights into market dynamics, with 607 acting as a strong resistance zone and 600 as a key support. Utilizing options expiring in 5-7 days (Jan 30, 2025), we can position trades for both bullish and bearish scenarios while minimizing the impact of time decay.
Bullish Option Strategy:
* Buy Call:
* Strike: 607 (ATM) or 605 (slightly ITM).
* Expiry: Jan 30, 2025.
* Entry: On a confirmed breakout above 607.82.
* Target: Resistance at 610-612.
* Stop-Loss: If SPY falls below 605.
Bearish Option Strategy:
* Buy Put:
* Strike: 600 or 599 (slightly OTM).
* Expiry: Jan 30, 2025.
* Entry: On a confirmed breakdown below 605.
* Target: Support at 599.56 and potentially 595.
* Stop-Loss: If SPY climbs back above 606.
Why 5-7 DTE Options?
* Lower Theta Decay: Allows trades to develop over a few days without rapid value loss.
* Controlled Risk: More time to adjust positions or exit with minimal losses.
* Flexibility: Captures both intraday moves and multi-day trends.
Trading Tip: Stay Flexible
While the 1-hour chart shows bullish momentum, the negative skew (-17.9%) and GEX resistance at 607 suggest caution. Monitor price action closely at key levels, and don’t hesitate to switch bias if the market conditions change.
Conclusion:
SPY’s price action and GEX levels highlight critical opportunities for breakout or pullback trades. Use a combination of chart-based entries and 5-7 DTE options to maximize profit potential while minimizing risk.

SPY .. S&P 500 interesting Averages Head n ShouldersWhile the green isn't a head n Shoulder it gives you the best visual...
the math is on the left for averages to the green...and the Red is the inverse image of the 2015 to today when figuring in a little room for "uncertainties"
But either way...They both give an interesting take on things.
Which do you think is achievable...especially when insurance is about to collapse with fires, policy cancellations...and derivatives backed swaps being called on if any of the big 7 start a hard down??
anywho..doodles are doodles...
SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 1-22-25: BreakAway PatternToday's BreakAway pattern suggests the markets will attempt to move aggressively away from yesterday's closing price level. I do believe the markets are over-extended to the upside. Which is why I continue to warn traders that we may be nearing a top/peak price level and to prepare for a rollover type of top in the SPY/QQQ.
My broad cycle patterns suggested the markets would top near Jan 20-21. I believe we are seeing a type of carryover momentum move to the upside as a result of optimism related to the Inauguration.
Now that the Inauguration is complete, I believe the markets will start to "resettle" into reality.
The SPY/QQQ should move into a rolling type of top pattern over the next 3-5+ days, then trend downward into my Feb 9-11 DEEP-V Base/Bottom.
Gold and Silver are likely to move higher in an attempt to hedge against global risks and uncertainty.
BTCUSD is moving through the current EPP pattern as the flagging breaks down. This should prompt a move back to the 92k level, then a brief pause before trending further downward.
Remember, the markets are likely to stall out through H1:2025. Get ready for volatile price swings before we move back into trending near the end of 2025.

$SPY January 22, 2025AMEX:SPY January 22, 2025
15 Minutes.
The gap between 200 and price in 15 minutes is more than 12$.
For the extension from recent low near 575 to 592 to 589 604 targets will be achieved.
But there is oscillator divergence.
A pull back this week to 597-598 levels which is 100 averages on 15 minutes will be a good entry point for long.
For the day holding 601 is important.
Technical Analysis and GEX Insights for Jan 22Technical Analysis
* Trend Overview: SPY is showing a recovery from recent lows, pushing towards key resistance levels at $605-$606.
* Support Levels:
* Immediate support near $599-$600.
* Major support at $575, aligning with prior lows.
* Resistance Levels:
* Immediate resistance at $604-$606 (Gamma Wall and Call resistance).
* A break above $606 may lead to $610 as the next target.
* Momentum Indicators:
* MACD: Momentum has flattened but remains in bullish territory.
* Stochastic RSI: Overbought conditions suggest caution for buyers as a pullback could occur.
Gamma Exposure (GEX) Analysis
* Highest Positive NETGEX: $606, acting as a significant resistance zone.
* Call Walls:
* $606: Strong 2nd Call Wall resistance (65.98% GEX concentration).
* $603: Another layer of resistance but less significant.
* Put Walls:
* $596 and $595: Immediate levels of put support, which could act as downside protection.
* HVL: $600 as the High Volume Level, supporting bullish activity above this level.
Actionable Trade Setups
Bullish Scenario:
* Entry: Above $605, with confirmation of volume breakout.
* Target: $610 and potentially $615.
* Stop-Loss: Below $600 to manage downside risks.
Bearish Scenario:
* Entry: Below $599, especially if $596 is breached with momentum.
* Target: $590 and $585.
* Stop-Loss: Above $604 to minimize losses.
Outlook
SPY's upward movement is promising, but overbought conditions and strong resistance near $606 warrant caution. Bulls need a clean breakout above $606, while bears could capitalize on any weakness below $599.

$SPY hold of $580-588 region sets up long to $614-630AMEX:SPY looks like it's formed a low for the short term when it failed the H&S pattern.
From here, I think it's likely that we fall back into the $580-588 to scare everyone into thinking there's more downside, but if that region holds, it'll set up a trigger long all the way up to the $614-$630 region.
I think the move higher should play out by mid-February (again if that $580-588 region holds). If it fails, then we're looking back down at the lower support level $545.
If we do end up going higher, I think that $630 region will be the short term top and it'll set up a move down to $545 before we move higher.
SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade Update For 1-21-25 : Cycle Top FormationThis video highlights my cycle research and why I believe the US markets are very close to a market top right now.
My research suggests the US markets would rally into the Inauguration and reach a peak near Jan 20-22. I believe the markets are very close to a market top right now, and there is limited opportunity to the upside currently.
I believe there is a bigger opportunity for a pullback in the SPY target 578 to 585 (roughly), where I believe the SPY will find support.
Gold & Silver should continue to price in additional risks and rally over the next 3+ weeks. I believe Gold will target $2880, then stall a bit before rallying up above $3000. Silver should target $33.50 to $34.25 at the same time.
Bitcoin continues to be range-bound. At this time, I believe the most logical outcome for BTCUSD is a breakdown attempt until the US settles on deregulation policies.
Let's see how this plays out over the next few days/weeks.

$SPY Today & Tomorrow's Trading RangesWe are above the 50 day moving average the one hour to under moving average and 35 EMA on the 30 minute timeframe and then we have that up gap from last Friday all on the downside of the trading range. At 603 at the top of the implied move today we do have a resistance level, and it was a support in December before we broke down and then it turned into a resistance. We have an island gap underneath the 30 minute tun removing average above the four hour to removing average and just remember they always do fill. It doesn’t have to be this week but it definitely could be so if you’re bar that might be a good place to look to take profits if we do go down.
I will dive much more deeply into these levels on tonight's video, but for now we at least have them.
Things to Watch this Week:
Earnings Reports: Major companies like Netflix (NFLX), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), Procter & Gamble (PG), United Airlines (UAL), General Electric (GE), Alaska Air (ALK), American Airlines (AAL), CSX Corporation (CSX), Verizon (VZ), HCA Healthcare (HCA), and American Express (AXP) are set to release their earnings. These reports can significantly influence market sentiment and stock prices.
Manufacturing PMI: The Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) for manufacturing will provide insight into the health of the manufacturing sector. A reading above 50 indicates expansion, while below 50 suggests contraction. This data can influence expectations about economic growth and interest rates.
Services PMI: Similarly, the Services PMI will give an overview of the service sector's performance. Given the service sector's substantial contribution to the economy, this data is critical for understanding overall economic trends.
Home Sales: Data on existing home sales can shed light on consumer confidence and spending in the housing market, which is a major component of economic activity. Changes in home sales can signal shifts in economic health.
Jobless Claims: Weekly initial jobless claims numbers are a pulse check on the labor market. Rising claims might indicate economic slowdown, while falling claims suggest job growth and economic strength.
Market Volatility: The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) has been noted to be fluctuating, which might continue this week. Monitoring the VIX can help assess market fear or complacency.
Interest Rate Sensitivity: With the Federal Reserve’s actions on interest rates being a focal point, any indication of future policy direction from Fed officials' speeches or economic data releases could sway markets. Look for comments from Fed members or economic reports that might hint at rate adjustments.
Sector Performance: Particularly, keep an eye on sectors like Technology (with companies like Nvidia potentially leading AI trends), Health Care, and Consumer Discretionary, which have shown movements or are expected to with upcoming earnings.
Global Economic Indicators: International developments, especially from major economies like China or the Eurozone, can impact U.S. markets due to globalization. Look for news on global manufacturing, services, or policy changes that could affect investor sentiment.
Geopolitical Events: Although not directly mentioned in recent market summaries, geopolitical tensions or developments, like trade negotiations or conflicts, can influence markets. Keep an ear out for any significant international news that might ripple through financial markets.
SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 1-21 : GAP Breakaway PatternAfter a long weekend, Trump's Inauguration, dozens of Presidential EOs being signed, and the markets searching for direction while nearing my cycle top/peak date (1-20) - I suspect the markets will move into a moderate sideways/topping type of price action over the next 3-4+ days.
It makes sense to me, after watching BTCUSD attempt to rally above the $108k level and fail, that we are moving into a post-Inauguration "reality" phase for the markets.
Yes, the US markets and economy are still clicking right along. We've seen an incredible rally from the 2022 lows, and I believe the markets may stall into a sideways (megaphone) type of pattern in early 2025.
If my research is correct, the process of stabilizing the US economy around Trump's policies and plans will take about 3-4+ months to actually materialize.
Yet, at the same time, the US economy is clicking along quite well, and I expect Q1 & Q2 2025 to be well within expectations - unless something massive breaks.
So, we are moving into my TOPPING pattern area right now. I strongly suggest traders prepare for a moderate pullback in price starting possibly near 1-23 to 1-24. Until then, I believe the markets will be "seeking a top" - that means trying to rally into resistance.
BTCUSD has already reached a peak and is moving into a new EPP pattern.
Gold and Silver should attempt to hedge risks and that means metals should attempt to break away from the current FLAGGING formation.
Things are about to get very interesting.
