SPY Eyeing a Breakout! Scalping, Swing & Options StrategiesMarket Structure: * SPY is trending within an ascending wedge pattern, holding above key EMAs (9 and 21), suggesting bullish momentum with caution near resistance levels. * Current price at $600 indicates a consolidation phase near critical Gamma resistance levels, with the potential for a breakout or pullback. Key Levels to Watch: * Support Zones: * $598: Immediate support, aligned with the Gamma 2nd PUT wall. * $597: Strong support from the Gamma 3rd PUT wall and wedge base. * Resistance Zones: * $602: Critical resistance; breaking above signals bullish continuation. * $604: Next resistance target near Gamma levels and technical confluence. Indicator Insights: * MACD: Flat but in bullish territory; watch for crossover to confirm momentum. * Volume: Declining during consolidation; expect a spike for a breakout or breakdown. * Options Oscillator: IVR (2.6) indicates low implied volatility, favoring directional plays near GEX levels.

Bearish Setup: * Enter on a breakdown below $598 with bearish momentum. * Targets: $597 and $595. * Stop Loss: Above $599. 3. Tools to Use: * Use RSI and VWAP for intraday momentum confirmation. * React quickly to price action at Gamma-determined levels ($598, $602). Swing Trading Strategy: 1.

Bullish Options Play: * Buy a Call Option with a $600 strike expiring in 1-2 weeks. * Target: Exit near $604 or $606. * Stop Loss: Close the trade if SPY falls below $598. 2. Bearish Options Play: * Buy a Put Option with a $598 strike expiring in 1-2 weeks. * Target: Exit near $597 or $595. * Stop Loss: Close the trade if SPY rises above $599. 3. Neutral Strategy: * Sell a Put Credit Spread at $598/$596, profiting from SPY staying above $598. * Maximum profit achieved if SPY remains above $598 by expiration. 4. Advanced Gamma Strategy: * If SPY holds above $602, consider selling a Call Spread at $604/$606 to collect premium while capping risk. Actionable Plan for SPY: * Scalpers should focus on intraday moves between $598 and $602, with quick reactions to price action. * Swing traders can capitalize on breakouts above $602 or breakdowns below $598 with clear targets and stops. * Options traders should leverage low IV and GEX levels for directional or neutral premium-selling strategies.

Buy Back Exhaustion \ Fed Pause \ Confidence \ Beat of the drum Consumer confidence is putting up fresh data points to suggest that we will fall below 100. Took a drive around the wealthy parts of town on Christmas night and noticed a severe lack of lighting where in previous years these neighborhoods would be lit up like the sun. Fed has flagged that if interest rates continue to rise than a pause or maybe even a raise in rates is coming. Don't be fooled as company's artificially inflate prices. They will soon run out of buyback funds and what looks like a new punch through to another ATH is just a massive rug pull before we see what first looks like a correction and then a serious crash. I will not be surprised if we see 520's by end of Q1 and 570 by the end of January. I am currently short and looking to add after this next double top coming tomorrow. If I am wrong and we continue past 602 then I will wait for a new entry soon after with confirmation. Puts to 570 at 3 months out should pay nicely if these things add up. If I am wrong I will play the upside and abandoned my speculation until I see another major down ward move. Stay open minded and play what you see. If you dont see what I see... dont get mad. Its just speculation. Go to tik tok to yell your bias.

12/22/24 Weekly Watchlist + NotesAMEX:SPY - Huge sell off across the board from FOMC news on Wednesday. SPY sold off down through previous Broadening Formation range reclaiming previous downside pivot just below 684. So with that in mind, we expand out of the BF below that pivotal low, or come back through range above it. With SPY currently setup to potentially go 3-2 daily, we look to see whether fridays high or low gets taken out. Being above the pivot at 684, we are looking to come back through that BF range and make new ATHs as of now. Of course this can all change depending on whether our W is green or red, but for now we are closer to making a daily HH than a LL. With Christmas being this week, the markets close 2 hours early on Tuesday, and re open on Thursday. Being a short week like this, we need to be extra cautious as there will be lower than normal volume, and simply less time for the weekly candle to form, so expectations on a large move this week as most seem to be predicting, may not happen for the prior reasons. Personally will not be trading Tuesday and possibly not at all this week if I don't see absolute A+ setups. Watchlist: Bullish: NASDAQ:NVDA - Pot. 1-3-2U Daily to trigger failed 2D hammer week. Swept BF lows this past week. Looking to come back through range. This is a big name for the markets, so I expect that if the markets are recovering, this will lead the way or follow with it NASDAQ:MU - 2-2U reversal potential daily to target gap fill from ER. We took out weekly BF mag on friday, hitting exhaustion levels after finally escaping the motherbar it was stuck in for the last 11 weeks. One side gets toasted, magnitude is hit for W and M. All the ingredients for a big recovery. Only issue is being stuck in last weeks range NASDAQ:PLTR - potential 3-2D for a simultaneous weekly 2-1-2U trigger. Nuclear green on all TFs. Slight room to go to target ATH again, but mainly looking for the weekly inside up measured move, meaning if we go 2-1-2U, we can expect the same move up as we had in the week prior to last weeks inside bar week. Cruise Lines: NYSE:CCL + NYSE:NCLH Weekly hammers. NYSE:RCL Not a clean weekly AS, but similar daily to other names in the industry. Bearish: NASDAQ:TSLA - 3-1 4Hr to trigger MoMo shooter Daily to trigger Shooter Weekly 2-2. Daily PMG to target from ATH Exhaustion. (Big green day for most names Friday, why was TSLA so bearish with such relative strength lately?) NASDAQ:AVGO - Shooter 2U Day to trigger 2-2 shooter week. Huge gap up from earnings. Looking to attack the gap. NYSE:KO - MoMo Shooter 2D day to trigger 2-1-2D week. Having issues making range lately, but daily BF is targeting lower still, and weekly 2-2d has yet to be negated. Inside week will confirm more downside to target our BF magnitudes on the D and W, or it will be negated by a 2U week. Simple plan here. Short under prev week low, exit if back above. NYSE:UBER - MoMo shooter 2d Weekly to reconfirm M 2D and Q 2U going 3. Check Monthly for the BF. Wanna see continuation lower to Q mag at 54.84. No daily AS but 3-1 4HR. May be a slower mover on the list. Basing all my decisions on the weekly as the momo shooter should simply just trigger and work

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 12-20 : GAP PotentialToday's pattern suggests the SPY/QQQ will present an opening price gap (in this case lower) and likely attempt to find support near these deep lows. I really want to point out how my Anomaly call, nearly 45+ days ago, really played out perfectly. It is so difficult for me to try to explain what I do with my research and analysis - but ultimately I simply call what I see based on the data. The last few days have prompted me to really push my efforts to continue to deliver superior research and analysis for my followers and subscribers. Ultimately, it is about helping people learn to become more profitable and learn to wait for the best trade setups. Gold & Silver are moving into a CRUSH pattern today. This could be a BIG MOVE for metals - and I believe the move will be to the upside. Don't get married to this move yet. The bottom is still setting up for metals. Bitcoin is collapsing through the EPP pattern. The ultimate low setup could still be a move below $90k, so be prepared for more downward trending throughout the end of 2024.

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade for 12-26-24 : Inside Breakaway PatternThis, being the day After Christmas, could be a very volatile trading day. I suggest traders sit back and let the morning volatility settle before attempting to make any big trades. I believe the markets will seek direction after Christmas and look to attempt to move into a Reversion phase (likely trending upward into the end of 2024). Overall, I believe the Anomaly event has completed - yet there is still risk for the markets to move lower before the end of Feb 2025. Follow my research and pay attention to how large the recent Daily price bars are compared to previous ranges. The current market volatility is MASSIVE. There is no reason skilled traders are not able to profit from some of these big price swings. Gold and Silver enter a CRUSH pattern. This could be a huge price move for Gold & Silver today. Bitcoin is sliding into the Consolidation Phase of an EPP pattern. This could result in another breakdown towards $72k if the EPP pattern plays out. Buckle up. Get some. #trading #research #investing #tradingalgos #tradingsignals #cycles #fibonacci #elliotwave #modelingsystems #stocks #bitcoin #btcusd #cryptos #spy #es #nq #gold

$SPY Trade Analysis DarkPoolsThis chart appears to be analyzing the SPY ETF (S&P 500 ETF Trust) on a 30-minute timeframe, with various levels marked for support, resistance, trendlines, and potential targets. Here’s a breakdown of the analysis based on what is visible in the chart: Trend Analysis: Downtrend Observed: The red trendline indicates a clear lower highs (LH) pattern, suggesting a bearish structure. The green trendline highlights a previous descending support line, which was broken, followed by a recovery. Current Context: SPY is below the red trendline, which is acting as resistance. The price is hovering near the EMA cluster (moving averages such as 8 EMA and 21 EMA), indicating indecision or consolidation. Key Levels: Resistance Zones: 595.23 to 599.31: This range aligns with previous pivot points and overlaps with a lower high (LH), making it a significant resistance area. 604.37 (DP): A dark pool level from 12/18 indicates where institutional activity occurred. Breaking this level could signal bullish momentum. Support Zones: 590.96 to 586.50: Price currently sits above this cluster, suggesting short-term support. 578.93 (90 SMA): The 90 SMA acts as a longer-term support level. Potential Trade Ideas: Bullish Scenario: Entry: Above 595.23, ideally with a strong close above the red trendline. Targets: T1: 597.63 T2: 599.31 T3: 604.37 Stop Loss: Below 593.87, the most recent support level. Bearish Scenario: Entry: Below 586.50, confirming a breakdown below immediate support. Targets: T1: 585.00 T2: 580.00 T3: 578.93 Stop Loss: Above 588.00, invalidating the breakdown. Indicators: EMA Strategy: Watch for a cross of the shorter EMA (e.g., 8 EMA) below the longer EMA (e.g., 21 EMA) for bearish confirmation, or vice versa for bullish momentum. Volume Confirmation: Increased volume at breakout levels strengthens the validity of the move. Overall Outlook: The current price action is consolidating between 595.23 (resistance) and 586.50 (support). This range-bound behavior may continue until a clear breakout or breakdown occurs. A move above the red trend-line could suggest a bullish reversal, while a break below the lower support zone would confirm bearish continuation. Why the 6:15 Candle is Key: Liquidity Shift: Around 6:15 a.m. EST, pre-market trading often experiences a shift in liquidity as larger institutional traders and automated systems begin positioning themselves ahead of the regular market open. This creates a noticeable increase in volume or volatility. Reaction to Overnight News: By this time, many traders have processed overnight news, including international market developments, economic data, or corporate announcements. The 6:15 candle often represents the market’s collective sentiment to these inputs. Early Dark Pool & Futures Activity: Institutional players and hedge funds might act on dark pool or futures activity signals around this time. For instance, the SPY chart you provided shows interest in identifying areas that coincide with pre-market setups for further price movement. Key Levels for the Day: The high and low of the 6:15 candle in pre-market trading are frequently used by day traders as pivot points. These levels often act as intraday support or resistance, with price reacting around these zones during the regular trading session. Interpreting the 6:15 Candle in Your Chart: Looking at your chart: The 6:15 candle seems to be sitting just below key resistance at 591.14. This candle’s high and low can serve as short-term levels: High Break: A break above the 6:15 high signals bullish momentum. Low Break: A move below the 6:15 low indicates bearish pressure. For SPY, this candle is important because it often sets the tone for the first trading hour of the day. How to Use the 6:15 Candle: Range Breakout Strategy: Mark the high and low of the 6:15 candle. Use these as breakout or breakdown levels for the regular session. Pre-Market High/Low Alignment: If the 6:15 candle aligns with pre-market highs or lows, it reinforces the importance of those levels. Volume Confirmation: Check if the 6:15 candle has significant volume compared to previous candles. A spike in volume confirms institutional interest. EMA Relationship: Notice if the 6:15 candle is above or below key moving averages like the 8 EMA or 15 EMA. This gives insight into short-term sentiment. In Summary: The 6:15 pre-market candle acts as a pivotal reference point: High and low levels often dictate intraday trading strategies. It reflects liquidity shifts, news reactions, and institutional activity. Use it alongside volume, EMAs, and resistance/support zones for more accurate predictions.

2024 Santa Rally and More - Up/Down/SidewaysIt's that time of year again. The final trading weeks of 2024 and the technical "Santa Rally" (trading through Christmas and New Year's) is upon us. Unfortunately the FED put a bit of a cap on the extremely optimistic and borderline euphoria that was bubbling over going into the FOMC Rate Decision. 100 bps of cuts, yet the US10Y (10 year yield) has virtually moved in the exact opposite direction. Inflation is now a concern and this is a big reason for the FED's "hawkish cut" in December. The market will have to figure out how 1-2 cuts in 2025 looks compared to 4-6 cuts that was anticipated. I don't think the 1 day FED move is enough of a correction to justify loading up on longs, so I'm looking for 200 EMA tests and better prices all around. If I don't get them, I suppose I'll just wait longer :) Happy Holidays to everyone Thanks for watching!!!

It can't be this easy I'm sure. x3 bear SPYI think the central banks end game is to fortify the USD by 3 main ways. 1. Ramp the markets to insane irrational highs, then have a control crash that increases demand for USD and increasing its value. 2. Create a digital USD (USDC) that can be used by the whole world thus increasing demand and value. Stellar blockchain will be the new monetary infrastructure base layer. Just saw you can by US treasuries on the stellar dex today! 3. Merge Canada's and Mexico economy and replace currencies with USD. I think this plan was in place for a long time, since Canada sold all its gold a number of years ago. Why have gold if you are going to trash your fiat? All of this will greatly increase the value of the USD. Ultimately though, people will get sick of inflation and buy xlm. :) And SPY was making a tight ascending triangle, fell out and backtested. Probably too obvious, or is it?

SPY Technical Analysis PredictionThis chart is a daily timeframe for SPY (S&P 500 ETF), displaying multiple indicators such as pivot points, dark pool levels, trendlines, moving averages, and volume. The current market structure suggests a potential trend transition phase, with price currently consolidating near critical support levels. Key Observations: 1. Trend Structure: The long-term uptrend is still intact, supported by the green ascending trendline originating from prior lows. The recent pullback breached the 8 EMA and 21 EMA, which implies short-term bearish momentum. However, price is consolidating near the S1 pivot level (579.18), suggesting possible support. Higher Highs (HH) were achieved earlier in the trend, but the failure to maintain levels near the R1 pivot (614.64) indicates resistance and profit-taking. 2. Support and Resistance: Resistance Zones: 600-604: A psychological resistance level and the approximate region of the 8 EMA. 609.07: The previous swing high and a critical level for a bullish continuation. R1 (614.64): A strong pivot resistance level. Support Zones: Immediate support at S1 (579.18), which aligns with current consolidation. Lower supports are seen at S2 (555.80), S3 (543.72), and the ascending green trendline (~524). Dark pool levels between 513.20 - 522.91 represent critical institutional zones, which may act as strong support. 3. Volume Profile: Significant volume spike on the most recent red candle indicates institutional activity. If price remains above key supports (S1, S2), this could suggest accumulation. A breakdown below S1 would imply further distribution and downside. 4. Dark Pool Levels: Dark pool prints at 522.91, 518.92, and 513.20 mark critical price levels for institutional interest. A break into these levels would indicate bearish momentum but could offer significant buying opportunities near those zones. Trade Setup: Scenario 1: Bullish Reversal from S1 (579.18) Trigger: A strong bounce off S1 with price reclaiming the 8 EMA (currently near 600) would confirm bullish momentum. Profit Targets: 595-600: The immediate resistance zone and EMA alignment. 609.07: The swing high from earlier in December. 614.64 (R1): A longer-term target at the pivot resistance. Stop-Loss: Below 575, as this invalidates the bullish setup. Scenario 2: Bearish Breakdown Below S1 (579.18) Trigger: A break below S1 with high volume and price failing to reclaim the 8 EMA would confirm bearish continuation. Profit Targets: 565.16: The prior swing low and intermediate support. 555.80 (S2): A strong pivot support level. 543.72 (S3): A deeper downside target. Stop-Loss: Above 595, as it would indicate a reversal back above resistance. Scenario 3: Long-Term Reversal Near Dark Pool Levels If price falls into the dark pool zones (522.91-513.20), this could offer significant long-term buying opportunities, especially near the ascending green trendline (~524). Final Thoughts: Short-Term Outlook: Consolidation near S1 requires close monitoring for either a bullish reversal or a bearish breakdown. Volume and price action at the EMAs and pivot levels will be crucial indicators. Long-Term Outlook: The green trendline and dark pool levels represent strong support zones, offering potential for accumulation if prices drop further.

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade Update : Big Rally Closing Out 2024Over the course of the past 6+ months, I've been sharing research and content to try to help traders all over the world learn to profit by making better decisions. Some of the comments I've received have been very positive. But some of the comments I get are negative and some people have explained how they continue to lose money trading. In my mind, if you are gambling with your trading account - you will likely lose money. If you are actually trading (trying to book profits ASAP) and grow your account efficiently, you can make consistent money trading small amounts. In order to try to illustrate this example of trading, I created a $1000 trading account and limited myself to only trading $333 (MAX) per day. Here are the rules I set for myself... ------------------------------------------------- Trading Plan - Start with $1000 in capital - Break that capital into 1/3 Daily limits - Trade no more than 2-4 times a day - Try to target 1-2 short term-trades and 1-2 intermediate-term trades each day - Attempt to keep my losses limited (depending on market volatility) - If I lose more than $300, I will stop trading and reevaluate what I’m doing right/wrong The Daily Average Goal is 15-35% or more over a 30-day period of time. I will try to execute the trades early in the morning and share the trades with Ment.com members. I will attempt to pull the short-term trades off as early as possible (trying to lock in gains). I will attempt to let the intermediate-term trades run a bit longer (possibly more than 1-2 days) in an effort to catch bigger price swings. I will not attempt to chase market trends unless I see a very clear A-B-C type of price pattern. ------------------------------------------------- After just five days of trading, my account is up over $45% and I've never risked more than $250 - $300 per day trading Options. Anyone can do this - you just need the right tools and guidance. You can DOUBLE your $1000 trading account every 20 to 30 days if you are diligent, consistent, and really learn to trade (not Gamble). What is it going to take for you to learn how to trade efficiently? I'm trying to show you HOW to do it and HOW to learn the skills to improve your life.

SPY to $585?: EOY Price TargetUsing the Magic Linear Regression Channel on TradingView.com we look at some possible scenarios for SPY price movement. A shorter term regression channel shows SPY at the top of the channel and rejecting it today - even with more buyers than sellers in the TradingView Volume Footprint chart view. The bottom of the channel converges with last pivot low near $584. It could conceivable go lower, but with lower volume likely during the holiday season, it would seem less likely for it to make any more big moves barring some major unexpected event.
