They Shut Down the AlgosYou can see in the chart that during the initial Feb/March drop that the algos were still running, and we'd see at least a small bounce when MFI/RSI got oversold, however you can see that they shut the algos down yesterday, MFI totally flatlined for 2 days which is something that did not happen on the initial drop.
So basically, there's no point for me to plot 3 hr charts until they turn the algos back on. I will post when that happens.
Made a bunch of mistakes this week, but managed to break even daytrading XLF puts twice today. XLF was lagging the market a bit which made it easier to trade.

As mentioned in our trade recap video yesterday, today was suppose to be really bearish and go down more,
However, the inflation report ended up being really bad and that just crashed the market all day.
I was expecting to see some bounces here and there along the way but it was just straight drill with no buyers in sight.

S&P 500 Futures Potential Short OpportunitiesThe S&P 500 futures index has retraced approximately half its previous losses from a steep sell-off that began at 6148. After rejection at 5818, prices now hover precariously above critical Support at 5732.
Immediate Support Test: Failure at 5732 would trigger additional bearish pressure toward the next support levels at 5649 and 5566.
Bullish Reversal Potential: Only a decisive close above 5818 would suggest a more constructive outlook, which currently appears improbable amid elevated VIX levels.
ES UpdateSo MFI hit oversold this morning as the gap filled, so I figured we'd get a bounce....
but it looks like hedge funds sold off every algo pump and MFI totally flatlined at the bottom.
How do I know hedge funds were liquidating? Crap like FCEL went green because they close their short positions when they close their long positions.
Yeah, I got a little stupid and lost some money today, I tried to warn my followers in my comments not to go long today, sure enough market sold off EOD.
I think it's time to do chart pattern short plays. Will let you know if I see anything good.

I finally got to test Caffeine and lions mane on an empty stomach and it was crazy, really sharp focus but jumpy as well.
We started the day off pretty scary, Huge drop to 5720 and instant recovery to the top. Traded a bit on one of my APEX evals that renewed today but
Didn't really touch the funded account until 11:20 when we hit the 48m resistance and got a 10m signal.
Overall day was pretty decent, 10m and 5 m chart worked really well.

The uncertainty of the economic impact of tariffsThe S&P 500 daily chart on Wednesday reflected uncertain economic impact of the new announcements on tariffs. The economic impact is unknown but we know stock markets hate uncertainty. The issue now is after is the downward absorption of the new tariffs will the market get cheap enough to become attractive to buyers.
ES Update1) My apologies for getting the PCE release date wrong, it's Friday, not today. Still made money on my XLF calls plus AAPL also went up this morning.
2) There's a small open gap on ES, RTY, and YM from the one hour break after market close. It looks like it might fill overnight. Make sure you check tomorrow morning.
3) The gap below is still open, and it looks like 3hr MFI and RSI want to hit oversold tomorrow.
4) Sorry for not checking the news, I can barely even make trades on my phone while at work. Had I known today was auto tariff day, I would have played things differently.
Personally, I think PCE numbers are a moo point (my Friends will get the joke) because auto tariffs will drive inflation up, but there's bound to be a bounce when MFI and RSI get oversold. If I decide to go long tomorrow, it'll probably just be a handful of XLF calls again.
XLF will probably dip tomorrow because higher auto prices means fewer auto loans and higher inflation this summer. Market will still go up Friday if indicators get oversold, so it's just a quick play, not an investment.
At this point, all I can recommend is that you keep an eye on the 3 hr indicators, seems to be working well. Also, XLF and AAPL completed intraday patterns from yesterday, so there is that too.
ES Melt upLook at the MFI, it's pegged. I guess we get a melt up, at least until tomorrow's PCE numbers. Maybe even into next Monday.
Anyways, I woke up, called in sick, and re-entered my AAPL trade this morning, I figured with TSLA's bad news they'd have to pump AAPL instead to get the market green, and they did. Plus XLF gapped up too much, though I suppose I could have bought that too when it went red on the gap close. Gonna just hold the AAPL calls as my PCE trade for tomorrow morning.
Expecting a slight kick up EOD because of PCE bets. Until then probably just a sideways whipsaw
S&P 500 – Corrective Structure in Progress
Everything is unfolding as planned for TVC:SPX AMEX:SPY OANDA:SPX500USD : after a completed impulse to the downside, we're seeing a complex WXY correction, with wave (y)potentially ending around the 0.618 retracement level and the MA20w.
Currently, wave B of the second leg is developing. Once it's complete, we may see a final push upward before a larger wave C to the downside.
⚠️ Key area to watch: 5780–5840 CME_MINI:ES1! zone for potential exhaustion.

Overall pretty decent trading day, spotted long term sell signals on market across the board this morning pre market so I was expecting thing to be bearish and drop. It played out as expected and helped with the trades today as thing went according to plan most of the time.
I did expect a V shape recovery at some point but that didnt happen.

TRADE IDEAS: ES FUTURES (ESM2025) – 3/26/2025 PLAYBOOK# 📊 TRADE IDEAS: ES FUTURES (ESM2025) – 3/26/2025 PLAYBOOK
## 🟢 SCENARIO 1 (BULLISH)
**DIRECTION:** Long
**STRUCTURE BIAS:** Bullish
**ENTRY LEVEL:** 5,795-5,815 (current zone, buying sell-side liquidity raids)
**STOP LEVEL:** 5,785 (invalidate if hourly close below this level)
**TARGET LEVELS:**
- **Target 1:** 5,880-5900 (Weekly Key High Resistance Level)
**R/R RATIO:** ~3:1 (depending on final execution)
### EXECUTION STRATEGY
- **Entry Confirmation:** Look for price to raid previous unhit weekly lows (sell-side liquidity)
- **Long Entries:** Establish long positions as price successfully raids these lows but fails to sustain below them
- **Stop Placement:** Use 5,785 as a hard stop (hourly close below invalidates the trade idea)
- **Target:** Take profits at 5880 - 5,900 (Weekly Key High Resistance)
### KEY POINTS
- Current price action targeting sell-side liquidity in the form of previous unhit weekly lows
- Wednesday typically not a low/high of week formation day, suggesting potential for continued movement
- Tomorrow's High Impact News Event (GDP at 8:30 AM) likely to create volatility and could accelerate the move
- Bullish structure prevails as long as price maintains above liquidity raid zones
---
## 🔴 SCENARIO 2 (BEARISH)
**DIRECTION:** Short
**STRUCTURE BIAS:** Bearish after bullish extension
**ENTRY LEVEL:** 5,880-5910 (Weekly Key High Resistance Level)
**STOP LEVEL:** 5,9550 (invalidate if hourly close above this level)
**TARGET LEVELS:**
- **Target 1:** 5,740 (Weekly Opening Gap upper boundary)
**R/R RATIO:** ~3:1 (depending on final execution)
### EXECUTION STRATEGY
- **No Immediate Short:** Wait for price to extend to Weekly Key High Resistance Level (blue line ~5,900)
- **Rejection Confirmation:** Look for reversal candles and selling pressure at resistance
- **Short Entries:** Establish short positions once price trades below confirmation level after testing resistance
- **Stop Placement:** Use 5,925-5950 as a hard stop (hourly close above invalidates the trade idea)
- **Scaling Out:** Partial profit near 5,800, hold remaining for potential move to 5,745 area
### KEY POINTS
- After liquidity is taken at the Weekly Key High Resistance (blue line), expect manipulation and reversal
- Short opportunity emerges only after bulls exhaust momentum at key resistance
- Weekly Opening Gap (red zone) remains a significant downside target for next move
- Any sustained hourly close above 5,965 **invalidates** this bearish setup
## MARKET BIAS
- **SHORT TERM (Today – 1 Day):**
- **Bullish** bias as price is likely to find support at current levels and move toward the Weekly Key High Resistance
- Current price action suggests accumulation before a move higher
- Tomorrow's GDP numbers (8:30 AM) represent a potential catalyst for accelerated movement
- **LONGER TERM (1–2 Weeks):**
- After testing the Weekly Key High Resistance level (~5,900), expect a reversal and move back toward the Weekly Opening Gap (red zone)
- Market structure suggests a "liquidity hunt" pattern – first to the upside, then reversing to the downside
- Major liquidity draw currently at the blue line, once exhausted, focus will shift back to the Weekly Opening Gap
$SP500 $SPX Is the bull run over?#SP500 SP:SPX S&P500
Is this just a bull-run retracement or the beginning of a bigger crash?
Is the bull run over?
Every major crash started with an “innocent” 10–15% pullback. 🧐
It’s difficult to draw any conclusions right now, but once the current bounce is over, the next retracement will give us more clues. ⏳👀
Are you bullish or bearish? 🐂 🐻

3:30PM doji trade + expecting 48m to flip up
Market stalled a it today as expected because we ran up a lot yesterday,
We did go a bit higher but not much up from yesterday's high.
Overall decent range day if you trade the 1 min MOB.
Spy PathI can see SPY moving this way—a potential relief rally off the unmitigated order block from September that caused the imbalance and the macro Break of Structure (BoS). We've already taken out some key sell-side liquidity at the Equal Lows from October/November (EQL), so there's no immediate need to keep chasing more sell-side liquidity.
If an aggressive buyer steps in, I could see price pushing back up through the Bullish Order Block, retesting the Equal High (EQH) I marked earlier, which would tap into buy-side liquidity. From there, it could reach the bearish order block that caused the imbalance, triggering the Change of Character (CHoCH), and then reverse lower, as it looks we are now in bearish order flow for the timeframe.
ES, Q2 25 - Path to RecoveryCME_MINI:ES1! swept the major liquidity resting below the Sep 24 low and is already starting to show signs of a reversal.
Price could just keep pushing higher, but with a Volume Imbalance, IFVG, and Wickless Candle all lining up in the same zone, it’s a high-probability area for a retracement before any continuation.
From there, I’m expecting a brief accumulation around the weekly FVG, which also aligns with the equilibrium (50%) of this entire leg down.
After that, I’m looking for a break through the weekly FVG, a retracement back into it, then a move higher into the Daily FVG. Another small retracement from there and finally, a push up into the Feb 25 High.
A strong reversal from the weekly FVG would invalidate this scenario and could potentially slow down the recovery.
