Double Bottom Today on SPY using the 4hr Key Observations: On the 4hr Timeframe we seen Equal lows today
The SPY price action exhibits a double bottom formation, which is a bullish reversal pattern indicating potential upward movement.
The chart highlights Fair Value Gaps (FVG) for potential entries:
Bullish FVG: Suggests entering long positions upon retest near the zone of $589.38 (green box).
Bearish FVG: Suggests entering short positions upon retest near $588.48 (red box).
Key support and resistance levels are marked:
Previous Day Low: $580.89.
Previous Day High: $591.11.
Highs and Lows (HL) are noted as part of the structure to track the trend.
Volume and Indicators:
A histogram at the bottom of the chart reflects increasing momentum, showing a transition between bullish (green) and bearish (red) trends.
The chart’s reliance on mitigation statistics (e.g., "Bullish 76.7% mitigated, Bearish 99.66% mitigated")
suggests a focus on price efficiency and liquidity grabs.
Market Sentiment:
The presence of a double bottom near the Previous Day Low supports the bullish case.
Bearish FVG implies caution in case of failure to hold above key support zones.
Next Steps:
To ensure I factor in relevant market dynamics for an accurate New York Open projection, I’ll examine recent data (including SPY trends over the past year) and match it with this chart’s technical analysis. I will recheck current pre-market conditions and gather additional insights specific to SPY. Let me do so now.

SPY trade ideas
Spy is filling an old gapLooking a spy on the 1 day chart. You will see a BOS leading to new lows. This should be nothing but a market correction. If you go back a few weeks on the same chart you will see some instability in price. When spy was moving to new highs. Spy appears to be going back and filling in the area and stabilizing price before moving to back to highs. This also appears to me be in correlating with a new president coming into office.
$SPY January 9, 2025AMEX:SPY January 9, 2025
15 Minutes.
Down trend intact as of now. Yesterday high was 590 levels.
we had two LL at 586 and 585.20. We had oscillator divergence and made a high 590 giving a 4-5 $ trade.
For the fall 597.75 to 585.20 AMEX:SPY retraced 38.2 levels. 591-592 is again levels to short.
In 15 minutes, buy is only above 593.5 levels for 599 as target.
SPY rangebound between $580 and $600SPY has been pretty rangebound between $580 and $600 since November. Any time it drops near $580, buys have pounced, and whenever it goes near or above $600, sellers pounce. I think we'll continue to see more of this well through January and into February until we get a better sense of macroeconomic factors like Fed as well as global policy from the incoming Trump administration. The Fed and Panama Canal are the top two things that I'm watching.
Some swing trade ideas:
Iron Condor options strategy keeping $580 and $600 in mind. With Vix being at 18, this isn't a bad trade, just keep in mind that volatility can expand making OTM strikes still be unprofitable.
- I don't think a strangle is a good idea, make it defined risk.
Wait it out. This is my current strategy with SPY showing a head and shoulders pattern with a possible target near the 200 EMA.
Put Ratio: Something like a 112 or 1122 might not be a bad idea keeping the 200 EMA in mind with the 200 EMA in the "trap" zone.
S&P 500 Triangle CoilS&P 500 is coiling up for a break out. Most likely bullish. Thrusts to the downside are diminishing in quality and magnitude (less effort less distance traveled). Need to see the quality of the bounce here to see the bull response at these levels before getting long.
Market is looking for a catalyst to break out to one side or another.
SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 1-8-25: RALLY patternPlease take a few minutes to watch this entire video.
I spent quite a bit of time trying to explain to all of my followers why the markets are struggling to find a trend and why the volatility has been so excessive over the past 3+ months.
Simply put, the markets are trying to reprice a Trump Economy (changing from a Biden economy).
In my opinion, the new Trump economy will still be decent/good - but there will be changes and the US Fed is still trying to borrow based on past data - which traders no longer believe is going to be valid reflecting future US economic/policy actions.
Thus, yields are rising as investors demand MORE PROTECTION against unknowns.
And, THAT is one of the primary reasons why the US Dollar and Yields are really driving most of this market volatility.
Again, simply put, investors/traders are unsure of what the future US/global economy looks like (specifically with Trump suggesting he is going to "streamline" the US government/agencies, and fix the US BLOAT). To many people, that is a big unknown.
I do believe today's Rally phase in the SPY/QQQ, as well as the Rally phase in Gold, will resolve to the upside. Yesterday's move was, IMO, another "washout low".
We'll see how things play out today and see IF we get a RALLY move in the markets.
Bitcoin rolled downward right at the dual Flag levels - just as I suggested. Now we'll see Bitcoin roll back towards recent lows - trying to identify support, or break downward - targeting the $72k I suggested would be the next lower level.
Get some.
Stay ahead of these markets and remember to trade efficiently (BOOK PROFITS).

SPY Falling WedgeHere's a shorter term chart and some potential paths for tomorrow. Nice little falling wedge/triangle. A break above should lead to a move back up to $591.30 and $595-$596 and maybe even up to the $600-$601 area.
Downside targets would be $585 and the election gap fill. I'd consider it bullish above $591 and $596. Bearish below $585.
SpyADP and Minutes out tomorrow... I'm thinking a pop if ADP comes in good followed by a mid day flush with a hawk minutes
H&S maybe but I've connected some supporting trends
If 576-580 holds then This H&S will turn into a Wedge triangle
Zoom in at the last 2 day price action
Small broadening wedge is forming here in white.
If we pop tomorrow I'm looking at 592 resistance and over that
593.50 50sma
594 (21ema).
So I'm looking for a bounce between 592-594 before a reject
If we gap down then this broadening wedge is negated
And this H&S shoulder plays out to 580
Weekly chart with 21ema..
Weekly 21ema is a 580
Wedge trendline is at 580
Price action support is at 580
U have to be very nimble bear here They will fight hard to keep the weekly 21ema.. they may dip to 576 to close gap then push back above and leave you trapped..
If price closes the week below 576-580.. then 566 is next up.
I will update into the weekend...

* Support: $589, $585

Conclusion:
SPY remains in a short-term bearish trend within a broader consolidation. Watch for decisive breaks of $594 or $589 to determine the next directional move. The current GEX data reinforces bearish pressure, but oversold technical indicators suggest caution for shorts near support levels. Maintain a tight stop-loss and adjust strategies based on volume and price action confirmation.

SPY: Week of Jan 6thHey everyone,
As promised, getting back into the grove of posting analyses.
I was going to cover other tickers but I ran a little long. People have told me that they have learned a lot from me so I wanted to take time to explain how to identify things clearly. I generally don't feel like I give helpful educational information in my ideas but I will make a point of doing it in the future.
If you are interested in Bulkowski stuff and his software, just google Thomas Bulkowski online and you will find lots of information! He provides a lot of free educational content online.
You can also find some educational ideas on tradingview that go over Bulkowski patterns, here are some I have found:
This one is a really good video on testing patterns using an indicator. This is using the same textbook I trained my own Bulkowski model with:
Anyway, this is my analysis/forecast. Hope you enjoy! Leave your questions below!
Safe trades!
