s&p lunchbreak, or major pullback?it doesnt seem like the consolidation in major indices has been destructive in terms of major disruption due to current volatility according to these machine learning and adaptive trend based algorithms. as long as we stay above a rising average we should trend toward the mean of the channel provided there isnt a major destabilizing event geopolitically or otherwise. its looking more and more like a weekly higher low is more or less set, and the index wants to return to around the 6020 level. if we fail to break the day high here, i would look for any daily higher low above tuesdays low for bull continuation.
ES1! trade ideas
SPX - Downside into Thanksgiving?It's a great day in the world and I hope you're having a great day as well. I'm looking at the potential for SPX to make a downward move going into next week as it has in prior years.
I'm looking at a 5 wave structure down from the highs in early November followed by what currently appears to be a 3 wave structure up into where we currently are.
If the structure is correct, we should move up a little bit today into the golden zone that I've outlined on the chart and reject from there. If we do get that rejection and we start to take out some of the pivots which I outlined in the video, we should have increased confidence in the short idea.
Nothing is certain and all trades should have risk managed in some way or another, but we should see a move down to 5800 if this holds true. It's about a 180 point move from where we are now with only about 25 point risk.
Trade carefully and always ask questions in the comments below if you have them.
ES morning update Nov 21This week has revolved around one key levels: 5886, the “money magnet.” Bulls dominate above it, bears take over below. Late yesterday, I was anticipating a rally to 5908, 5922, and 5942+, and we hit those levels and more.
As of now: 5942 is weak support. Holding above keeps 5960 and 5971+ in play. If 5942 fails, expect a dip to 5932, then 5908-11.
The S&P Mini11 21 24 I spent a lot of time looking at bigger time frames on the S&P because they can show you very good reversal setups and they're clean. you can also find very good ABCD patterns that that you can miss on the lower timeframes. I would like to show you the detailson a four-hour chart and how you can stay out of trouble when this Market actually expanded which completely changes the way you should look at the market especially when you're trying to find trade location.

ES/SPX Morning Update Nov 20thYesterday, buyers delivered a textbook setup: a Failed Breakdown at the key 5886 level, which triggering longs. The 5956 target, as outlined, was hit perfectly overnight.
As of now: Let runners ride until the move concludes. Supports are 5943 (weak) and 5928. If we base here, 5963 and 5972+ are the next targets. A failure of 5928 would signal a deeper dip.

tl;dr
sp500 e-mini futures - Bullish bias still. The reversal was nasty and we had a very strong close. We are in a nested expanding triangle and if bears are strong, market won’t get above 5950. If bulls do, we go 5980 and the bear trend line next. I lean bullish. Measured move up from today gets us close to the ath and it’s the third try bears tried to close below the 50% retracement and failed. Good chance today was bears giving up and we melt again to a new ath. If we drop below 5900 again, I am probably wrong and bears taking over again.
comment : Nasty reversal and a good close by the bulls. Can expect follow through tomorrow above 5950 up tom 5980 and test the bear trend line. Above that we print a new ath. Best for bears would be to keep this below 5950 and then they have a chance of testing down to 5900 again. I have a heavy bullish bias going into tomorrow as long as market does not drop below 5900 much again
current market cycle: bull trend
key levels: 5900 - 6100
bull case: Bulls want to test the bear trend line around 5980 and go above 6000 again. They do need to break above 5950 first, which could be resistance due to the expanding triangle pattern but I doubt it. They kept the market 3 days in a row above the 50% retracement and I don’t think bears are strong enough to try a fourth time tomorrow. Measured move up from today’s reversal leads to around 6036.
Invalidation is below 5900.
bear case: Bears had an amazing sell off but bulls bought it big time. Technically this could be seen as a bear flag, but bears would have to keep the market below 5950 for that. That’s their first target and then getting below 5900 again. Since we are seeing big time buying below 5900 and the selling was mainly due to news, I don’t think bears are favored.
Invalidation is above 5950.
short term: Bullish. Probably more squeezing late bears tomorrow and I still do have unreasonable insane targets above 6100 that could be hit over the next days-weeks.
medium-long term - Update from 2024-11-16: So the top definitely qualifies as a blow-off top but the question if we continue further up, is still valid. It is possible that we are already inside the correction and if we continue below 5860, I highly doubt bulls can get above 6000 again. Given the current market structure, I won’t turn bear because the risk of another retest of the highs or even higher ones are just too big.
current swing trade: Nope
trade of the day: Buying 5855. Market printed a perfect inverted head & shoulders on the 1m tf, huge bull bars on a big volume increase. 3 almost too good to by true reasons to take the trade.
S&P Mini11.19.24 the S&P is expanding to the point where it looks like it's going to be more tradable. a significant changes happened today. if I tried to scalp the market today I could have made money but it wouldn't have been much money because the market really didn't show the expansion until the last couple bars of the day and if I had used extensions to judge when to initiate a trade I wouldn't have gotten the signals based on the way the market was Trading. today I did a 40-minute video but I didn't have auditory. I don't have time to do another 40 minute video so I am posting this chart which will look different each day that I don't look at the market and I don't want to lose this chart because I will show you how the markets expand even further as I expect they will and how that will help me make a trade it's not only more reliable but more profitable. there's always guess work when you try to find an optimal trade location but if the Market's expanding is much easier by far to take a trade and also trade for bigger Rewards and that is what I think is happening here.
Top 5 Weekly Trade Ideas #4 - ES ShortNice move for ES this morning up off the bottom end of the range. Now it's all the way back to the top. I expect a rejection here, but if it breaks at least I'll know it's time to exit shorts. Next upside target would be 5955.
If it works out, downside target will be 5900 first and then we'll see if it can break any lower. Lots of things lining up to make this a great trade long or short. NQ is nearly the same chart not surprisingly. VX at critical support and the bottom end of its range too. I expect a move from here, liking the short side for now but that could change.

Buyers wasted no time, reclaiming 5886-88 and pushing us right back to our first target (5910). It’s a level-to-level market today, (as it is most days) with 5886 staying the key “money magnet” pivot. The next targets are 5922, followed by 5934. Lock in gains level to level—don’t get greedy in these conditions.
ES/SPX Morning Update Nov 19thThe 5886 level remains a money magnet in ES. Yesterday, 5886 served as key support, setting up a relief bounce to the 5934 target. We held 5886 exactly and ran to target. Overnight, it held once again.
As of now: No changes. 5886 (weaker now) supports moves to 5911, 5922, and 5935+. If 5886 fails, selling could begin toward 5862.
Continue to be cautious on ES - History vs FOMOIf you don't feel like listening to the video, I basically review some trades outside of the ES, and discuss the potential concerns for the ES market.
It seems to be a throw spaghetti at the wall and expect everything to stick market, in spite of much of historical data calling for a major downtrend to be coming up. This has led me to more or less remain away from the S&P other than a short on the recent Trump Pump that I already cashed out.
I see more potential for the Euro and Canadian Dollar to regain some level of historical average. I am getting sell signals based on my algorithms into Gold and Oil today. I will evaluate those later, as I'm not sure I'm ready to feel the risk in those just yet as Gold as also suffered from extreme FOMO and Oil is already a bit lower than my expectation of average price around $70-$75.
