Bullish??? That was all very sudden, is it over now?The market correction really seamed to be an over reaction. I am hopeful that the worst is behind us, at least for the meantime. maybe this will be closer to 2018 correction and we just keep grinding higher for the rest of the year. I suppose anything is possible. -Everyone got way to bearish to quick - Spidey senses going off! -we never copy and paste last cycle to the next, but people have such a recency bias, sometimes its all they can see ( I may know from experience) - hopefully bullish

Planning to short a little higher. I made a full pivot on my bear position while we were 6% down on the day into the end of last week, switching to long positioning at 5150 and adding a couple times once the first resis levels broke, now I'm starting to get ready to try to position short again into a move a little higher (5550 or so). My bias at this point is fairly neutral. As a trader, it really doesn't matter which way the market goes. One could equally make the polarised case for us to trend up 1000 points or down 1000 points. Many people think I want to be a bear for the sake of being a bear, but those 1000 points pay the exact same. I'd opt for the one with no systemic risk. After all, the money I make I keep in banks and brokerages. Nicer to know they'll be okay. But markets are not a place for preference. Heading into 5550 is where we have another window of risk for the bear setup. We took a large position (relative to typical exposure) betting 4% long on SPX at 5150 with 100 points stop. Banked on this for 300 points. With the added positions this was a bit over 15%. Basically, we made as much as a non leveraged long would make trading from the absolute low to a retest of the high. Still currently have some light exposure betting on 5550 hitting. If and when we get there, we'll cycle some of our long profits back to shorts. Even inside of a bull market case I could make a reasonable case for 5000 retesting. And if we're actually inside a bear market, then we've just been through the eye of the storm. Over the last few days I've not done much. Caught up on work outside the market (or related to work I do based on the market that isn't trading). Caught up on sleep (because I slept very rarely through March / early April). Whatever way it goes, I think we're going to be back to being super active some time in the next few days. For now, locking in the profits. Through this year the market has made over 50% worth of swings when you add them all up. We caught a lot of them. Covering multiple years of the standard expected gains for the style and low risk setting used. My priority is keeping that. But I can see myself repositioning as a bear in the coming days. I'm undecided of how deep a bear move I'd be targeting. But I do strongly suspect I'll be a short 5550 if it trades.

SPY, More pain to come? SPY / 1D Hello Traders, welcome back to another market breakdown. SPY is showing strong bearish momentum, breaking below resistance. However, the price is in the oversold zone for now. Hence, instead of jumping in at current levels, I recommend waiting for a pullback into the middle of the range zone for a more strategic entry. If the pullback holds and sell mode confirms, the third leg lower could target new lows. Stay disciplined, wait for the market to come to you, and trade with confidence! Trade safely, Trader Leo.

$SPX - Recap of April 14 2025So if you just read SPY - this is just a copy and paste because of course we had almost identical price action here. Today, Monday April 14th we opened with a gap UP to the 30min 200MA and we also gapped right to the top of the bear gap (always considered resistance and strengthened by the downward momentum of the 30min 200. We did see resistance with those combined bearish levels and we brought is back down to the middle, closed the gap from open and took it back to the 30min 200MA and got pushed back at close. This chart setup was bearish today - even though we closed green - how? The 30in 200MA pointing down. The bear gap under that. And the 35EMA trading Under the 30min 200MA. It was an easy trading day and just looking at the momentum you could feel that price was going to stay in the center of the implied move. At least I mentioned that in last night’s video. Excellent day. How did you guys do??

“Markets are strong” – Are they really?President Trump recently stated that "markets became very strong once they got used to tariffs." But let’s look at the facts: 📊 AMEX:SPY is down -9% YTD, and major names like: MSFT: -7.55% AAPL: -18.66% NVDA: -12.94% Tech is bleeding, and the broader S&P 500 is clearly reflecting the pressure of trade policy uncertainty. 🟥 Tariffs = market stress 🟩 Market resilience = not the same as strength What we’re seeing is not a “strong market” — it’s a market under pressure trying to survive political noise. The weekly chart shows a clear drop after the peak, followed by uncertainty, not conviction. 💭 Is this truly the “strength” investors want to see?

US500 (S&P 500) Sell Limit Trade IdeaBearish Daily Signals Align with Key Resistance Levels 📅 Published: 14/04/2025 14:22 | ⏳ Expires: 15/04/2025 12:00 Market Outlook The US500 is showing signs of fatigue at higher levels. A Doji-style candle formed near the highs suggests indecision and potential reversal. Current levels are near the 50% Fibonacci pullback at 5485, an area that previously attracted selling pressure. The 20-day EMA at 5466 and the pivotal level at 5501 reinforce this as a strong resistance zone. With no major economic events in the next 24 hours, technicals are likely to dominate near-term price action. Trade Details Entry (Sell Limit): 5459 Stop Loss: 5611 (-152 pts) Take Profit: 5016 (+443 pts) Risk/Reward Ratio: 2.91:1 Key Levels Resistance: R1: 5446 R2: 5501 (Pivotal Level) R3: 5600 Support: S1 : 5381 S2: 5280 S3: 5135 Technical & Sentiment Highlights ✅ Bearish Daily Signals – Doji candle and declining momentum suggest exhaustion at highs. ✅ EMA & Fibonacci Confluence – 5466 EMA + 5485 Fib zone aligning with resistance. ✅ High Reward Potential – Offers a strong 2.9:1 risk/reward ratio. ⚠️ No Major News Catalysts – Technicals expected to guide near-term direction.

SPX Elliott Wave Count AnalysisJust dropping a multi-timeframe breakdown of my current EW thesis for SPX, starting from the macro and drilling down to now. Big Picture (3M View): We’re still grinding through Grand Super Cycle Wave 3 (GSCW3) that I have starting in the 1932 low till now. Scoped in look at Super Cycle W4(SCW4) Super Cycle Wave 4 (SCW4) wrapped up around the ‘08-‘09 housing crash lows. Since then, we’ve been in SCW5, and based on current structure, I believe we’re still early or mid-stage, not near the end. Zoom-In: SCW5 to Present (Cycle Degree Breakdown): From the 2009 lows, price action carved out a textbook impulsive structure into what I’m labeling as Cycle Wave 1 (CW1), which likely topped out ~Dec 2024. The correction that followed has the characteristics of an Expanded Flat: A-B-C structure where Wave C just completed around April 7th. This structure, in my view, forms Wave W of a potential WXY complex for CW2. Now we’re either in: The early stages of Wave X, targeting the 0.618 retracement zone of W (marked on the chart), Or, X has already completed in a shorter move. Alt (Low-Probability) Scenario: There’s a slim case that the ABC (now W) correction was all of CW2 — given how it wicked into a deep, low-probability Fib zone (gray box). If we get a clear impulsive move above that 0.618 area, I’ll pay closer attention to this alt — but for now, I’m leaning toward more downside after this X-wave finishes (if it hasn't already). EW interpretations evolve, but this is my current working roadmap

Tariff Exemptions Stir the Bounce | SPX Analysis 14 April 2025It’s Monday… and the markets are once again dancing like a puppet on a tweet-fuelled string. One minute, tariff fears. The next, selective exemptions for “favourites.” Now the weekend’s over and futures are bouncing higher like none of it happened. SPX looks set to test – or break – the 5400 bull trigger, and if you’ve been following the last few newsletters, you’ll know that’s a big one. We’ve mapped it. We’ve rejected it. Now we’re staring it down… again. --- The 5400 Line Returns Let’s back up. 5400 has been my bull/bear trigger for weeks. When we’re below it, I’m hunting bear swings. Above? I start reassessing bullish setups, GEX bulls-eye trades, and pullback long entries. This week, the GEX flip is also sitting around 5400. That’s no coincidence. It’s now more than just a price level – It’s the emotional fault line between headline-driven panic and headline-driven hope. So… do we flip bullish? Not so fast. Strategy: Structure First, Narrative Second Just because futures are up doesn’t mean momentum is back. We’ve seen far too many fakeouts, tweet-spikes, and algorithm blinks to trust the first move on a Monday. That’s why my plan is simple this week: ✔️ 5400 is still the decision line ✔️ No aggressive trades until price confirms ✔️ Will adapt only if structure shifts – not just sentiment This week isn’t about swinging for the fences. It’s about precision. Patience. And setup clarity. Behind the Charts: Tinkering, Rebuilding, Refining While the markets work out their next identity crisis, I’m taking the time to: Optimise my new charting layout Tweak + update my indicator codebases Re-align my tools for speed and efficiency Because if the market wants to act like a circus, I’ll tighten the tent and sharpen the knives. --- Expert Insight – Don’t Rush the Flip Common mistake: Flipping long just because futures are green. Fix: Use anchored levels like 5400 as your decision points – and only flip bias when structure confirms. GEX flips, pulse bars, and price action matter. Tweets do not. --- Fun Fact Did you know? In 2023–2024, over 60% of intraday SPX rallies over 1.5% failed to hold past 2 days when triggered by political headlines. Translation? Headline rallies are easy to sell into – unless they’re confirmed by price.

SPX: the absurdity of tariffsTariffs-narrative continues to shape the sentiment of investors on the US equity markets. The high volatility continues to be the predominant way of price movements, ranging from deep pessimism to higher optimism. The reality is that no one is sure what to trade and in which direction. Markets are extremely unhappy in times of high uncertainty, like the tariff-time currently is. Another week with extreme moves is behind the market. The S&P 500 reached the lowest weekly level at 4.840, but soon realized that this might be too low for current conditions of the US economy. Then the news hit the market that US tariffs will be delayed for the majority of countries for up to 90 days, and the market suddenly entered into an optimistic mood, reaching the highest weekly level at 5.480. This occurred at Wednesday's trading session, where S&P 500 gained around 10% within one day. For the S&P 500 this could be treated as highly extreme movement, but it shows how much nervousness is within investors at this moment. One of few reactions on the extreme volatility of US equity markets came from Susan Collins, head of the Boston Fed, who noted that “markets are continuing to function well” and that the Fed would be prepared to address chaotic conditions on the market, if needed. However, there is no indication that the Fed will react at this moment, and whether current developments will have any effect on their decision on rate cuts during the course of this year. The next FOMC meeting is scheduled for May 6-7th. At this moment, the long term investors should not be worried, as this absurdity will come to pass one day, and US equities will continue to follow the growth of the US economy. Short term investors and traders will find this period of time as highly challenging. This sentiment will, unfortunately, continue for some time in the future, until the final tariffs-deal is set or dismissed.

One more wave down for SPX500USDHi traders, SPX500USD went straight into the target last week. From there it rejected and made a bigger correction (orange) wave X (updated wavecount). Next week we could see the last impulse wave down to finish the bigger (red) WXY correction. Let's see what the market does and react. Trade idea: Wait for a change in orderflow to bearish and a small correction up on a lower timeframe to trade shorts. If you want to learn more about trading FVG's & liquidity sweeps with Wave analysis, then please make sure to follow me. This shared post is only my point of view on what could be the next move in this pair based on my technical analysis. Don't be emotional, just trade your plan! Eduwave

S&P 500 Daily Chart Analysis For Week of April 11, 2025Technical Analysis and Outlook: During the current trading session, the Index has recorded lower opening prices, thereby completing our key Outer Index Dip levels at 5026 and 4893, as previously highlighted in last week's Daily Chart analysis. This development establishes a foundation for a continuous upward trend, targeting the Outer Index Rally at 5550, with an interim resistance identified at 5455. Should this upward momentum persist, further extension may reach the subsequent resistance levels of 5672 and 5778, respectively. However, it is essential to note that a downward momentum may occur at the very significant completion target level of the Outer Index Rally at 5550, with the primary objective being a Mean Sup 5140 and retest of the completed Outer Index Dip at 4890.

Another move down for SPX500USD?Hi traders, SPX500USD made a bigger orange X-wave last week into the Daily FVG. So next week we could see the start of the last impulse wave down to finish the bigger (red) WXY correction. But it first has to close below the Daily FVG. Let's see what the market does and react. Trade idea: Wait for a change in orderflow to bearish, a small impulse wave down and a small correction up on a lower timeframe to trade shorts. If you want to learn more about trading FVG's & liquidity sweeps with Wave analysis, then please make sure to follow me.

Trading Notes - April 26th I’m struggling to stay bearish on US stocks-bearish in the short-term as the sentiment is now mainstream. The negative news dominating the headlines could create a lot of potential for a surprise upside move in the near term. Yesterday’s steady SPX rally, despite no news, was impressive. We could easily rally another 2-4% in the short term. The sharp downside move over the last couple months does leave potential for a local lower high which would be concerning. If there are trades to be made, intraday ranges is where I’d put my focus on stocks (and not be tooo greedy). Bitcoin has the potential the put in a macro reversal if it closes the week strong. A swing trade entry at the 200 daily MA on BTC is still in play. SPX Technicals Volume profile: POC: $5609 Upside interest: $5750 Downside interest: $5303 The line in the sand over the next 2 months is the 5120 level - the August 2024 low. If we close June there, 6M bearish divergence on the RSI leaves potential for a prolonged bear market. But that’s enough long-term analysis at a news-driven time when technicals have little bearing on price action. What I’m focusing on this week: - Sizing down - Taking quick profits - Watching trump’s tweets
