SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade for 5-23 : Carryover PatternLooking at the charts today, I want to say that it certainly looks like the SPY Cycle Patterns are blending into a consolidated CRUSH/BOTTOM pattern (see the weekend patterns) today and possibly "carrying over" into the early trading next week.
I have been warning of a pending rollover/breakdown in this uptrend for weeks. Today's breakdown seems a bit aggressive, but it is what it is.
If the patterns are consolidating/blending into a bigger breakdown over the Memorial Day weekend, then we could be looking at a very big downward/rotational move in the SPY/QQQ/Bitcoin over the next 5+ trading days while Gold/Silver continue to rally.
Silver is lagging Gold right now, but I don't think that lasts. Once Gold gets back above $3400, I believe Silver will start to make a big move higher.
The big question in my mind is - how does this carry into Monday's holiday trading schedule and into Tuesday's OPEN?
I'll have to see how things play out today - but it certainly looks like I'll be adding some SPREADS to potentially catch any big move over this weekend.
GET SOME.
This could play out exceptionally well for skilled traders.

Engineering the Hullโstyle Exponential Moving Average (HEMA)โถ๏ธ Introduction
Hullโs Moving Average (HMA) is beloved because it offers nearโzeroโlag turns while staying remarkably smooth. It achieves this by chaining *weighted* moving averages (WMAs), which are finiteโimpulseโresponse (FIR) filters. Unfortunately, FIR filters demand O(N) storage and expensive rolling calculations. The goal of the Hullโstyle Exponential Moving Average (HEMA) is therefore straightforward: reproduce HMAโs responsiveness with the constantโtime efficiency of an EMA, an infiniteโimpulseโresponse (IIR) filter that keeps only two state variables regardless of length.
โถ๏ธ From FIR to IIRย โ What Changes?
When we swap a WMA for an EMA we trade a hardโedged window for an exponential decay. This swap creates two immediate engineering challenges. First, the EMAโs centre of mass (CoM) lies closer to the present than the WMA of the same โperiod,โ so we must tune its alpha to match the WMAโs effective lag. Second, the exponential tail never truly dies; left unchecked it can restore some of the lag we just removed. The remedy is to shorten the EMAโs timeโconstant and apply a lighter finishing smoother. If done well, the exponential tail becomes imperceptible while the update cost collapses from O(N) to O(1).
โถ๏ธ Dissecting the Original HMA
HMA(N) is constructed in three steps:
Compute a *slow* WMA of length N.
Compute a *fast* WMA of length N/2, double it, then subtract the slow WMA. This โ2โฏรโฏfastย โโฏslowโ operation annihilates the firstโorder lag term in the transfer function.
Pass the result through a short WMA of length โN, whose only job is to tame the midโband ripple introduced by stepโฏ2.
Because the WMA window hardโcuts, everything after barย N carries zero weight, yielding a razorโsharp response.
โถ๏ธ Reโbuilding Each Block with EMAs
1. Slow leg .
We choose ฮฑโย =ย 3โฏ/โฏ(2Nย โย 1) .
This places the EMAโs CoM exactly one bar ahead of the WMA(N) CoM, preserving the causal structure while compensating for the EMAโs lingering tail.
2. Fast leg .
Johnย Ehlers showed that two singleโpole filters can cancel firstโorder phase error if they keep the ratio ฯ๐ย =ย ln2โฏ/โฏ(1ย +ย ln2)ย โย 0.409โฏฯโ .
We therefore compute ฮฑ๐ย =ย 1ย โย e^(โฮปโย /ย 0.409) ,
where ฮปโย =ย โln(1ย โย ฮฑโ).
3. Zeroโlag blend .
Instead of Hullโs integer 2/โ1 pair we adopt Ehlersโ fractional weights:
(1ย +ย lnโฏ2)ย ยทย EMA๐ย โย lnโฏ2ย ยทย EMAโ .
This pair retains unity DC gain and maintains the zeroโslope condition while drastically flattening the passโband bump.
4. Finishing smoother .
The WMA(โN) in HMA adds roughly one and a half bars of consequential delay. Because EMAs already smear slightly, we can meet the same lag budget with an EMA whose span is only โNโฏ/โฏ2. The lighter pole removes residual highโfrequency noise without reโintroducing noticeable lag.
โถ๏ธ Error Budget vs. Classical HMA
Quantitatively, HEMA tracks HMA to within 0.1โ0.2โฏbars on the first visible turn for Nย betweenย 10ย andย 50. Overshoot at extreme Vโturns is 25โ35โฏ% smaller because the lnโฏ2 weighting damps the 0.2โฏfs gain peak. Rootโmeanโsquare ripple inside long swings falls by roughly 15โ20โฏ%. The penalty is a microscopic exponential tail: in a 300โbar uninterrupted trend HEMA trails HMA by about two barsโvisually negligible for most chart horizons but easily fixed by clipping if one insists on absolute truncation.
โถ๏ธ Practical Evaluation
Sideโbyโside plots confirm the math. On Nโฏ=โฏ20 the yellow HEMA line flips direction in the same candleโor half a candle earlierโthan the blue HMA, while drawing a visibly calmer trace through the midโsection of each swing. On tiny windows (Nโฏโคโฏ8) you may notice a hair more shimmer because the smootherโs span approaches one bar, but beyond Nโฏ=โฏ10 the difference disappears. More importantly, HEMA updates with six scalar variables; HMA drags two or three rolling arrays for every WMA it uses. On a portfolio of 500 instruments that distinction is the difference between comfortable realโtime and compute starvation.
โถ๏ธ Conclusion
HEMA is not a casual โreplace W with Eโ hack. It is a deliberate reconstruction: match the EMAโs centre of mass to the WMA it replaces, preserve zeroโlag geometry with the lnโฏ2 coefficient pair, and shorten the smoothing pole to offset the EMA tail. The reward is an indicator that delivers Hullโgrade responsiveness and even cleaner midโband behaviour while collapsing memory and CPU cost to O(1). For discretionary traders wedded to the razorโsharp Vโtips of the original Hull, HMA remains attractive. For algorithยญmic desks, embedded systems, or anyone streaming thousands of symbols, HEMA is the pragmatic successorโalmost indistinguishable on the chart, orders of magnitude lighter under the hood.

$SPY โ Bearish RSI Divergence + Gap Below = Risky Setup๐ The RSI divergence has been signaling weakness for several sessions โ with lower highs on momentum while price made higher highs.
And now, weโre stalling right at a volume shelf (see VRVP) with a big unfilled gap looming just below.
โ ๏ธ Things to watch:
Bearish RSI divergence โ๏ธ
Price breakdown confirmation below $582
Gap fill target = ~$572
VRVP shows thin volume beneath current price
If momentum rolls over from here, this could accelerate fast into that gap zone.
SPY SHORTES Futures have decisively broken down from the ascending wedge pattern that had been forming over the past few weeks. This bearish technical breakdown suggests a potential shift in market sentiment and momentum. Given the high correlation, I'm anticipating that SPY will follow suit shortly, especially as macroeconomic pressures intensify.
The catalyst appears to be a combination of bearish fundamental developments:
Moodyโs Credit Downgrade: The recent downgrade has shaken investor confidence in U.S. creditworthiness, adding fuel to the bond market selloff.
Bond Market Pressure: Yields continue to climb as investors exit fixed income, concerned about rising inflation, mounting debt, and tightening financial conditions.
Fiscal Uncertainty: The U.S. House has passed Trumpโs substantial tax bill, which, while aimed at stimulating growth, raises concerns about further ballooning the national deficit. This is compounded by Trump's new spending package and a proposed debt ceiling increase, heightening fiscal instability and long-term debt fears.
Weโre also seeing an uptick in volume following the last downward wave, which may indicate institutional participation and confirmation of the breakdown.
Technical Targets (If Breakdown Continues):
nPoC (Naked Point of Control): A high-probability magnet for price action due to untested liquidity.
50% Fibonacci Extension: Suggests a measured move target based on the size of the previous wave.
0.618 Fibonacci Retracement (Golden Pocket): A key confluence zone that often acts as strong support/resistance due to its high relevance in market algorithms and trader psychology.
These targets present a strong technical confluence zone and may serve as areas of interest for both short covering and potential long re-entries.
$SPY May 22, 2025AMEX:SPY May 22, 2025
15 Minutes.
Last week I expected the retracement towards 580 levels as numbers were far away from moving averages. But AMEX:SPY kept moving towards595 and suddenly broke yesterday towards 582 levels.
I expect it to settle down around 579 - 581 levels then a pull back is on cards as now we have the reverse on the cards with the 200 being away again.
On left side we have a big gap around 570 - 577 levels which I feel will be sorted out before a consolidation.
The weakness below 590 has keto 582 levels.
At the moment if 578 is broken i see support around 573 574 levels.

๐ Treasury Yields Surge Amid Weak Bond Auction
U.S. Treasury yields continued their upward trajectory, with the 10-year yield nearing 4.6% and the 30-year yield surpassing 5%, marking the highest levels since early 2023. This increase followed a weak $16 billion auction of 20-year bonds, which attracted less investor demand and sold at higher-than-expected yields. Factors contributing to the rise include fading recession fears, persistent inflation concerns, and growing fiscal worries related to potential tax cut extensions.
๐ Stock Market Declines as Tech Stocks Retreat
The stock market experienced significant losses, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropping 1.9%, falling below its 200-day moving average. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq fell 1.6% and 1.4%, respectively.
๐ผ Snowflake ( NYSE:SNOW ) Reports Strong Earnings
Snowflake Inc. reported record quarterly revenue of $1.04 billion, surpassing expectations. Product revenue increased 26% year-over-year to $996.8 million. The company raised its full-year forecast to $4.325 billion, reflecting a 25% year-over-year increase. Despite a GAAP net loss of $430 million, Snowflake posted an adjusted profit of 24 cents per share, exceeding the 21-cent estimate.
๐ Morgan Stanley Turns Bullish on U.S. Stocks
Morgan Stanley has shifted to a bullish stance on U.S. stocks and bonds, raising its outlook due to signs of market stabilization and improving growth conditions. The bank maintains a base target of 6,500 for the S&P 500 by mid-2026, with a bullish scenario projecting 7,200.

Ugly SP500 Reaction to Treasury YieldsUnlike other headline news, long term interest rates breaking out to the upside is an immediate threat to equity prices especially if it's driven by bond vigilantes rather than strong economic news. This will immediately compress valuations and particularly hurt high growth and small caps the most. In addition, this is not a one-off headline where equities markets can easily shake it off and continue to rally. I think we're going to test the gap ~$567 on AMEX:SPY after breaking down from a rising wedge and triggering the PSAR flip.

๐ 567.51 โ Prior HVN zone and VWAP mid-band
๐ 559.30 โ Golden pocket + historical positioning from April
Volume Spike: Bearish confirmation on rising sell-side volume.
๐ง Strategic Context:
Macro Tone: Market breathes as participants await key inflation data + Fed speak. Liquidity is not risk-on.
Risk Flow Watch: Options OI building around 560/570 strikes โ could magnetize toward there if flow accelerates.
๐ก๏ธ Tactical Setup:
Short-Term Bias: Bearish to neutral into 567.5โ559.3 zone
Mean Reversion Setup: Watch VWAP / 3-day anchored VWAP cluster around 559 as a potential reload zone

SPY | Liquidity Engineering or Reversal?๐ฐ๏ธ Daily Chart | May 21, 2025
๐ข Posted by: Wavervanir_International_LLC
โMajor buyers are lurking... but will the market deliver the fill they want?โ Thatโs the question.
Weโre currently watching a tactical rejection near 598.22, the 0.886 Fib retracement of the prior high-volume breakdown. This level historically serves as a liquidity sweep zone before decision-making candles emerge.
๐ Technical + Volume Profile:
Liquidity Zones:
Resistance: 594.4โ598.2 = prior supply + Fib confluence
Demand Zones:
567.5 โ anchored VWAP / trend channel midpoint
559.3 โ 0.618 Fib + major positioning cluster
Volume: Distribution volume into prior highs = possible short-term exhaustion
EMA Structure: Bullish stack but extended from mean; room for reversion to VWAP bands.
๐ง Macro Overlay:
Risk Events: Debt ceiling headlines are muted, but upcoming PCE inflation and labor data could dictate short-term gamma positioning.
Options Skew: OTM put volume rising; VIX curve remains steep in front-end โ suggesting hedging or prep for pullback.
Macro Setup: Real yields are sticky, and the Fed is not signaling dovish pivot yet โ any continuation will need confirmation via breadth and credit spreads.
๐ก๏ธ Risk Framework:
Reclaim 598.2: Bias flips bullish with upside into 613โ644
Break Below 567.5: Opens doors for deeper retest at 559 or even 533
Neutral Range: 567.5โ594.5 โ Let market structure show intent before deploying size.
๐ Game Plan:
Let price come to you. Patience > Prediction. Market is deciding whether to reward early breakout traders or punish late longs via mean reversion. Watch the 567โ559 clusterโthatโs where smart money may reload.

SPY trend reversal linear analysis, with parallel stackingAll the annotations speak for themselves...
but just a simple idea to see if there are levels that make sense if the descending line were to be reversed and applied to the ascending trend.
Have to follow those rules, and if too cluttered on choppy weeks- then hold the bottom line and only increase the newest line if you have price chopping greater than the height of the biggest candle in said chop.
ergo, if the biggest candle is say 4 point up from the last trend line off the inception permanent line ascending trend, then hold that line at the high of that day until price breaks above it. If chops continues above it, then draw another parallel 4 points (the height of that largest candle before the chop started) above the original line and hold it there until the chop continues up or is reverts and heads back down.
If you want to see if chop is a flag formation, then take the above example of a big candle up marking a new parallel line high and see if price for 3-4 days stays within it, pull down another parallel from that high and put it on that low...will allow for visual where the flag boundaries may be...
