SPY - First Signs of TroubleFrom this entire uptrend we might be seeing the first signs of trouble.
Here are some reasons for this from a technical perspective:
-Daily Printed a Gravestone Doji
-RSI Testing Overbought as Resistance
-Slight Bearish Divergence on Daily RSI
-Momentum Stalling
There could also be some catalyst tomorrow that contribute to this. Powell speaks tomorrow so depending on what he says could either add fuel to a market reversal or negate these bearish signals and send us on another leg. Prepare for volatility.
SPY trade ideas
July 21 Special Update : Metals, SPY & More. What's Next.This special update is to highlight why I continue to believe traders should stay very cautious of this rally in the SPY/QQQ/BTCUSD.
Underlying economic data suggest that this is one big speculative rally following the April Tariff collapse.
And, the economic data I see from my custom indexes suggests the markets are moving into a very volatile and potentially dangerous topping pattern.
As I've stated many times in this video. I'm not saying the markets have topped and you should SELL EVERYTHING. I'm suggesting this market is extremely over-valued in terms of the underlying risk factors at play and the very clear data that suggests the markets are already in a recessionary price trend.
You may ask, "How can the markets continue to rally like this in a moderate recession?".
The answer is simple.
All bubbles end with a super-speculative phase. This phase is where everyone piles into a euphoric attempt to ride the rally higher.
It happened in the late 1990s. It has happened again through the 2000-2005+ housing bubble. Heck, it has occurred in the collectors market over the past few decades where people spent fortunes on the "hottest items" (think Beanie-Babies) only to find out they bought at the height of the bubble.
That is why I continue to urge traders to remain cautious and to withdraw profits from this speculative rally phase. Protect your investment capital immediately and consider the risks associated with the information I share in this video.
I'm not trying to scare anyone. I'm just trying to be realistic in terms of what I see in my data and why I believe now is the best time to MOVE TO SAFETY.
My data suggests that the markets are about to enter a fragile and potentially dangerous pullback phase. If you want to ride it out - go for it.
Otherwise, prepare for significant volatility over the next six months or more.
Get some.

SPY - On Our Way To Target 3 ...But First?Trading Fam,
It's been a while since I updated you all on the SPY, which, as you know, we track closely to help us determine the overall market trend. Since we have now exceeded my Target #2, it's time for me to give you all another update. But first, a little context for my new readers which I have been getting a lot of recently, thanks to my new indicator hitting it out of the park.
So, we began marking targets on our chart here after spotting an inverse H&S on the daily chart a few years ago. Many of my followers back then were doubtful the pattern would fully form, or if it did, that it would actually play out. But the pattern completed about 14 months ago and subsequently broke the neckline in June of last year. I then knew we were going full send and have been predicting a 700 SPY final target since. This target has been made utilizing both that inverse H&S pattern as well as a longer-trend Elliot Wave, which I don't have denoted here at this point. The chart gets too messy with all of my markings. Regardless, we are currently in wave 5 and heading steadily towards that 670-700 target #3, my final target.
But be careful! Today, we have hit the underside of that RED area, which is HUGE resistance. I would expect that we will NOT break straight through this without some pullback prior. Indeed, the market is overextended at this moment, and we'll need the volume to be able to push through. Could this occur? Of course, anything is possible. But, it is not likely right now.
My guess is that we'll at least pull back to one of those levels below us or possibly even re-touch that 200 SMA in red before the final push.
Anyways, it is worth taking note of what may be ahead of us in the next few weeks or months so that you can plan your trades accordingly. Stay with me. We're almost there.

SPY: Climbing the Wall of Worry — But Is a Turn Coming?SPY: Climbing the Wall of Worry — But Is a Turn Coming?
The S&P 500 (SPY) is pushing into a critical zone as we approach July 28th, and I can’t ignore the confluence of signals piling up here.
Technical Setup
We’re testing the top of a rising wedge formation.
Key round number overhead at $640 — a psychological and options magnet.
Price is extended well above moving averages with declining volume, often a warning sign for bulls.
Multiple resistance lines converge in this zone, creating a high-pressure point.
📆 Timing Matters
July 28 = weekly options expiry — with massive open interest clustered around $630–$640.
Seasonally, late July often marks a peak before August chop.
Add in some “tin foil hat” vibes: SPY’s riding momentum while major indices are diverging (looking at you, IWM), and the macro narrative feels shaky at best.
What Would Confirm a Reversal?
Breakdown below $625 with a high-volume red candle.
Bearish engulfing or shooting star candle near resistance.
VIX divergence or big money flowing into puts mid-week.
Key Levels
Resistance: $640 / $649.90
Support: $630 / $622 / $595
Reversal target (if confirmed): $594–$575 area
Final Thoughts
As we all know, markets can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent. However, when trendlines, round numbers, timing, and seasonality align, I start watching for cracks. This may not be the top — but it might be the spark.
Following closely. Alerts set. Ready for the flush if it comes.
SPY July 21-25AMEX:SPY
Looking at the 4 hr. timeframe on SPY. Bearish divergence is signaling a need for some cool off. I assume this will happen almost immediately, Monday maybe into Tuesday. I expect to keep above strong support levels at 618 and 609.95. Drops below 609 will change my stance to a more bearish tone. assuming we hold these levels, I expect that SPY will continue upward after some small consolidation up here in the range. Looking at a trend-based fib, some price points to the upside above ath's(all time highs) would be 633.52 and 637.85. Even 654.
Economic and policy fundamentals could shift any bullishness into another sharp pullback or even up into higher price targets.
Not much to be bearish abut this week, earnings season is kicking off and this could play a role as well; Tesla and google & blue chips happening Tuesday- Thursday.
These earnings could be the mystery seasoning to shake up this week's movement.

SPY Macro Wave Outlook – Bullish Fifth Wave into AI Supercy📈 SPY Macro Wave Outlook – Bullish Fifth Wave into AI Supercycle?
🧠 WaverVanir DSS | VolanX Protocol | Institutional AI Alignment
The SPY rally appears to be unfolding within a 5-wave macro impulse, currently inside Wave (5) targeting the 670–787 zone, depending on macro alignment and Fed behavior. This structure converges with long-term Fibonacci clusters and macro transition signals.
🔍 Thesis:
Wave (5) in Progress – Next resistance seen at ~670.33, followed by long-term targets near 787.19.
Pullback Scenario – A temporary correction into the 597–600 range is possible before further upside.
Structure Validity – Channel and Fibonacci extensions confirm bullish continuation unless macro conditions deteriorate sharply.
🧠 Macro Alignment Required:
Fed Pivot Late 2025 → Probability: 60%
Earnings Growth Led by AI → 11% projected for S&P500 (GS)
Productivity > Consumption → AI-led industries showing 5%+ labor productivity growth (Dallas Fed)
Low Inflation Reacceleration Risk → Core PCE stabilization key
⚠️ Risk Matrix:
Macro Risk Probability Notes
Fed Hawkish Reversal 30% Data-dependent but unlikely unless inflation re-flares
AI Concentration Shock 25% Tech-heavy rally, breadth remains a concern
Valuation Compression 20% Shiller CAPE near 37
Trade War Reignition 15% Tariff risk remains a geopolitical tail
🎯 Target Zones:
Near-term: 670.33 (Wave 5 peak)
Medium-term: 714–787 (Fib clusters)
Correction Zone: 597–600, invalidation below 525
The AI economy is accelerating—productivity is now outpacing consumption in several sectors. This macro regime shift could be the foundation for the next secular bull wave.

SPY Reclaims Rising Wedge Support - Bear Trap or Breakout Setup?SPY dropped below its rising wedge earlier this week, but that move may have been a bear trap. Price quickly reversed, reclaiming the wedge trendline and closing just below a key Fibonacci level at 629.84.
Buyers stepped in aggressively near the 0.382 and 0.236 retracement zones, defending short-term support. The bounce came on increased volume, signaling strength behind the recovery. Momentum remains intact as long as SPY holds above 626.
Now, bulls need to confirm with a breakout above 629.84–631.96 to open the door to the next levels at 635.63 and 640.30. Failure to break through could lead to another rejection and revisit lower support zones.
Levels to watch:
Support: 626.64, 623.62, 619.60
Resistance: 629.84, 631.96, 635.63
SPY is at a decision point. Reclaiming wedge support is a bullish signal, but bulls need follow-through to avoid another fakeout in the opposite direction.
Earnings Heat Up - 6300 and 6200 SPX Key Levels RemainMarket Update
SPX Key Levels
-SPX poked 6300 Tuesday, Thursday, and poked higher Friday (but settled back to 6300)
-6200 support remains a key level
-6050/6000/5800 next floor levels, I'll be looking for dips
I can see the market slowly (and I mean SLOWLY) grinding higher but preparing for a
reasonable seasonal selloff through end of July into end of September window
July 28-August 1 is a monster week in the markets
-Megacap Earnings (MAG7 Tue/Wed/Thu)
-Wed July 30 - FOMC (Pause expected but Powell's Press Conference is important)
-Friday August 1 - Non-Farm Payroll, Tariff Deadline
I'm hitting fresh YTD highs so I'm not complaining about this melt-up and grind, I'm simply wanting to allocate positions and add to my positions at better levels and with a slightly
higher VIX to help take advantage of the expected move being greater than the actual move
Have a great weekend and thank you watching!!!

SPY 628 – Compression Before Expansion | VolanX Protocol Engaged🧠 SPY 628 – Compression Before Expansion | VolanX Protocol Engaged
📅 July 17, 2025
🔍 SPY (S&P 500 ETF Trust) | 1D Chart
📍 Current Price: 628.04
📈 Chart Thesis by: WaverVanir International LLC
🔗 Powered by VolanX Protocol
🌐 Macro Overview:
The market stands at a critical inflection point, with bulls and bears both pressing their narrative:
The Fed is expected to cut rates in September, with soft CPI and decelerating labor trends justifying a pivot.
Earnings season is bifurcated: Mega-cap tech is leading, while cyclicals are faltering. This raises the risk of a short-term rally masking deeper fragility.
Global macro risks – including rising geopolitical stress in the Asia-Pacific region and commodity volatility – increase the odds of a tail event.
📊 Technical Outlook:
SPY is now hugging a major supply zone near 628 with price stalling for multiple sessions. This area marks a compressed equilibrium where volatility is likely to expand soon. Key technicals:
Rejection candles suggest seller presence near 630.
Price is overextended but remains above all major EMAs.
Breakdown zone sits at 565, which aligns with prior resistance and a major volume shelf.
No current bearish divergence on RSI or MACD, but momentum is flat.
🎯 VolanX Probabilistic Bias:
The system currently anticipates three paths:
Bullish breakout toward 660–675 if the Fed confirms a dovish stance and tech continues to lead.
Neutral grind in the 600–615 zone if macro remains balanced and earnings don’t surprise.
Bearish breakdown to 565 or lower if macro stress emerges or dollar strength accelerates.
🛠️ Options Strategy Highlights:
Bullish Trade Idea: Buy 630C / Sell 660C (30–45 DTE) – Low cost, targets breakout above resistance.
Bearish Trade Idea: Buy 620P / Sell 565P – High R/R play into macro unwind.
Both are defined-risk strategies, ideal in volatile inflection zones like this.
⚠️ VolanX Note:
This is a classic binary event structure forming under institutional watch. DSS scans show compression is now mature. Whichever side confirms will likely trigger a large move, not a drift.
Let the narrative confirm the signal.
