S&P 500 Technical Analysis

$SPX - Trading Levels for March 13 2025
Alright, y’all. We are dangling, unsupported underneath the 200DMA and that Bear Gap. I am trading cautiously today because inflation data days I tend to make a lot of mistakes.
35EMA - this level is a BEAST. We were unable to get above it yesterday. Trace it back 3 weeks and you’ll see it’s been there every time to push us back lower.
I will be looking to the outer spreads and even then I might push it out a little.
If and when I take a position I will update it here.
GL, y’all.
SPX500 Long Trade Setup Analysis (1D Timeframe - Blackbull)SPX500 is at a crucial inflection point. Will the support hold, or are we breaking down?
Previous ideas setup identified on 11th January has now come into fruition:
📈 Current Setup:
📈 The SPX500 is approaching major resistance at 6,663.37 - the 0.618 Fibonacci Extension of the most recent high timeframe move dating back to July 2024 - present.

🔹 Right now, we can see price is testing the channels lower supporting trend line, which lines up nicely with previous structure support, and a 0.38% Fibonacci Retracement of the August 2024-present move. Having multiple confluence of supporting indications, as well as aligning with our longer time perspective on higher timeframe direction, it is likely we will see a bounce up from here.
📉 A failure to bounce here however could either be a fake out, or the top of the SPX. We do not believe this is the top, and we will not short should price break down further. We will sit back and monitor looking for a new entry on the lower Fibonacci levels highlighted in our charts, with tight stops to minimise risk.

📰 Fundamental Catalysts (March 8–15, 2025):
Economic Releases:
📅 Mar 10 : U.S. CPI Inflation (High Impact) – Core CPI at 3.2% y/y could force Fed hawkishness.
📅 Mar 12 : Retail Sales (High Impact) – Expected 0.3% MoM post-holiday slowdown.
📅 Mar 14 : FOMC Meeting & Dot Plot – Fed may hike +50bps ahead of 2025 elections.
🌐 Geopolitical Developments:
📅 Mar 11 : Belgium Elections – Risk of coalition fragmentation delaying EU fiscal unity.
📅 Mar 13 : Middle East Tensions – Reported Iran-Israel escalation impacts energy markets.
📅 Ongoing : Brexit 2.0 Developments – UK-EU trade deal negotiations resume, GBP volatility.
📊 Market Sentiment:
📉 Equity Flows : Hedge funds remain underweight equities (BofA survey), suggesting short-term liquidity-driven rally.
📉 Options Market : SPX500 gamma gap at 6,800 killed by recent churn, hedging flows may cap tops.
🎯 Portfolio Management Strategy:
💰 Buy Entry : At 5,755.70 (0.382 Fib confluence).
🎯 Take Profit : 6,570 (Risk-Reward Ratio: 1:6).
❌ Stop Loss : Below 5,624.61 (50% Fib).
As price approaches 6,600, consider allocating capital to long-dated puts on the SPX500 to hedge against volatility spikes. A confirmed break below 5,755.70 would signal a shift toward bearish regimes, aligning with geopolitical tensions and potential Fed tightening.
S&P500 Channel Down good until cancelled.S&P500 / US500 is trading inside a 20day Channel Down that spearheaded the technical correction from last month's All Time High.
The 1hour RSI is on a bullish divergence and within this pattern this has signalled a temporary rebound near the 1hour MA100 for a Lower High rejection.
As long as the pattern holds, a tight SL sell position there is the most optimal trade, aiming at 5450.
A crossing over the 1hour MA200, invalidates the bearish sentiment and restores the buying bias. In that case, take the loss on the sell and buy, aiming at 6040 (Fibonacci 2.0 extension).

I think a 5650 Bounce is Ideal for a Crash BetSPX continues to trade weak through supports. There are a long list of reasons why it was reasonable to expect a low to be made either today or yesterday and both times we've sold through supports.
I think this is a break but I do also think the more prudent positioning would be to look for a rally to 5650.
Very cautious now as a bear into this drop. Trailing stops. Considering a low might be made somewhere 5500 - 5450 overshoot at the most.
Will pick up some lotto calls for 560.
Start of bearish cycle for equities $SPXSP:SPX confirming trend reversal on high time frame as it attempts to breach the 50 weekly MA for the first time since the start of the 2022 bear market.

SPX500 Long Trade Setup Analysis (1D Timeframe - Blackbull)Previous SPX idea has hit our stop loss. The position was entered on touch of the lower channel trend line, however we have since fell through our tight stop. Our outlook for the SPX remains the same, with a new entry shown above between 5589-5560 and a stop loss placed below higher timeframe (8 day dynamic support) and the 61.8% fib retracement around 5360. Targets remain the same, fundamentals remain the same. Risk to reward is now 1:4.

SPX Analysis chart update. The chart contains multiple technical patterns, indicating a bearish market structure. Here are the key patterns identified:
1. *Rising Wedge* – This is a bearish reversal pattern where price moves upward within a narrowing range before breaking down. It suggests weakening bullish momentum and potential selling pressure.
2. *Double Top* – A classic reversal pattern that signals a potential trend change from bullish to bearish. The price reaches a resistance level twice but fails to break higher, leading to a decline.
3. *Break of Structure (BOS) & Change of Character (CHOCH)* – These confirm a market shift from bullish to bearish. BOS signals trend continuation, while CHOCH indicates potential reversals.
4. *Fair Value Gap (FVG)* – This is an imbalance in price action, where price might retrace before continuing downward.
5. *Support Area & Liquidity Zone (LQD)* – The price is expected to target these areas, possibly finding support or continuing the downtrend.
# Conclusion:
- The chart suggests a bearish outlook following the breakdown of the *rising wedge* and *double top*.
- If the price retraces to the *FVG*, it could offer a short-selling opportunity before continuing lower toward the support area.

S&P 500 tests key support on Trump's latest bombshellIn yet another striking move, US President Donald Trump has just announced plans to double tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum, raising them from 25% to a hefty 50%. The new tariffs are slated to come into effect this Wednesday, with Trump citing Canada's intention to impose tariffs on electricity exports to the US as the catalyst for this decision. This latest escalation in trade tensions comes hot on the heels of a tumultuous Monday, which marked the worst day of 2025 for US markets. Investor fears were stoked by President Trump's aggressive tariff policies targeting America's largest trading partners, sending shockwaves through the financial landscape.
The situation has left many observers questioning the broader implications of these trade policies on both the US economy and its international relationships.
But one thing that has been quite clear all these years in this long-term bull market is that every time we have had a decent sell-off, dip-buyers have invariably stepped in and drove markets to new highs despite any macro concerns. Every single time we have heard cries of “this time it is different,” the bulls have prevailed, and bought the dip. Not even covid could hold the bulls back, let alone the unwinding of yen carry trades in 2024, or China’s sluggish recovery that caused local markets to tank last year, and before that the Russian invasion of Ukraine, or the bear market of 2022 when inflation surged and caused interest rates to shoot higher across the world (excluding Japan). Are we going to see yet another such recovery soon, or does the market want to go a little deeper before dip buyers emerge? That’s the key question, and one way to find clues is by looking at the charts.
The S&P 500 here is testing liquidity below yesterday's low of 5567 and key support in the 5550 area. With the daily RSI now well into the oversold territory, can we see a rebound here heading deeper into the US session?

$SPX500USD Potentials <3Personally, I am super bullish and gonna be buying any dips.
There are some complications that appear on the chart as of this time.
Buy Targets at:
4600-4700
5250-5350
5650-5750
In my opinion the market is looking to run to 7600-10000 points by the end of 2028.
Miraculous, I know.

S&P500 INDEX (US500): More Down

Up for SPX500USD again?Hi traders,
At the start of last week the price action of SPX500USD went up as predicted in my outlook but it could not reach the higher 4H FVG and dropped to the target. The bigger (red) WXY correction could be finished.
So next week we could see a (corrective) upmove to the higher 4H FVG.
Let's see what the market does and react.
Trade idea: Wait for a small correction down to finish and after that a change in orderflow to bullish on a lower timeframe to trade longs.
If you want to see more from my analysis, please make sure to follow me, give a boost and respectful comment.
This shared post is only my point of view on what could be the next move in this pair based on my analysis.
If you don't agree, that's fine but I don't need to know it. I do not provide signals.
Don't be emotional, just trade!
