S&P 500 Reaches Major Support – Will Buyers Take Control?SP:SPX is experiencing a corrective move after rejecting from the upper boundary of the ascending channel. The price has now reached the lower boundary of the channel, aligning with a key demand zone. This confluence of trendline support and horizontal demand increases the probability of a bullish reaction from this level.
If buyers maintain control at this level, we could see a rebound toward the 5,936 level, which aligns with the midline of the ascending channel. This level could serve as a short-term target within the current bullish market structure.
However, failure to hold above this support zone could invalidate the bullish outlook, and signal further downside. Traders should monitor bullish confirmation signals, such as rejection wicks, rising volume, or bullish engulfing patterns, before entering long positions.

S&P500 First bullish break out after a monthS&P500 crossed today above both the 1 month Channel Down and the MA200 (1h).

The MA100 (1h) has the potential to turn now into the short term Support.
Trading Plan:
1. Buy on the current market price.
Targets:
1. 5900 (the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level).
Tips:
1. The market just formed a MA50/100 (1h) Bullish Cross. The first since Feb 13th.

MMBMThe market gives. It always did, you just have to know when to take, put that philosophy in your notebook. It was a Monday today and there was anticipation for consolidation but that’s not the case for all markets. Once you get familiar with an asset there’s no harm in looking around. Your set up will come, you just have to know when to catch it.

Monday morning analysisFutures had a pullback, but nothing special. I think it is highly likely that we try to break up today but fail and possibly we make a lower low by Tuesday
Good luck!
SPX 500 17 March Market Analysis
The weekly candlestick closed in its upper half with a long tail below.
The market formed a parabolic wedge (3 pushes - 28 Feb, 7 Mar, and 13 Mar). That increases the odds of a minor pullback.
The bulls want the market to form a 2 legged sideways to up pullback.
They need to create credible buying pressure - consecutive bull bars closing near their highs.
Until they can do that, traders may not want to buy aggressively.
The bears see any pullback as minor. They expect at least a small second leg sideways to down to retest the Mar 13 low.
The 9-bar bear microchannel on the daily chart and the 4-bar bear microchannel on the weekly chart increases the odds of sellers above the first pullback.
For now, because of the climactic selloff and parabolic wedge, the market may try to form a minor pullback.
Traders will see the strength of the buying pressure. If it is strong, they may look for a retest of the breakout point - Jan 13 low.
If the pullback lacks follow-through buying, the odds of another leg down increases and traders will sell the pullback.
S&P 500 : How Long Could the Stock Market Correction Last?S&P 500 Analysis: How Long Could the Stock Market Correction Last?
Six days ago, we noted that the Nasdaq 100 had entered a correction phase. Now, the S&P 500 (US SPX 500 mini on FXOpen) has followed suit, closing more than 10% below its 19 February peak on Thursday, officially confirming a correction.
Statistically, according to research by Yardeni Research:
→ Market corrections occur quite frequently—since 1929, the S&P 500 has experienced 56 corrections.
→ Only 22 of those corrections turned into bear markets, defined as a drop of 20% or more from recent record highs.
S&P 500 Analysis: How Long Could This Correction Last?
On one hand, Friday’s market rebound suggests that buyers are stepping in.
On the other hand:
→ US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated on Sunday that there are "no guarantees" the world's largest economy will avoid a recession. This came just a week after US President Donald Trump refused to rule out such a scenario.
→ The current correction has lasted 22 days so far, whereas historically, the average correction lasts 115 days and results in a 13.8% decline from the peak.
Technical Analysis of the S&P 500 (US SPX 500 mini on FXOpen)
The price is forming an upward channel around the median line, which alternates between acting as support and resistance (marked in blue).
→ Price action suggests that bulls are struggling to hold above the 6,100 level. In February, they failed to push towards the upper boundary of the channel.
→ Since the price has reached the lower boundary of the channel, there is a possibility that bearish momentum may start to weaken.
However, if the price loses support at the lower boundary of the channel, this would be a bearish signal from a technical perspective, indicating the potential for a deeper correction in the S&P 500 (US SPX 500 mini on FXOpen).

Markets Open, Guinness Poured—Can SPX Deliver a Perfect Finish?Markets Open, Guinness Poured—Can SPX Deliver a Perfect Finish? | SPX Analysis 17 Mar 2025
SPX feels like it’s stuck on a broken record—a little up, a little down, an occasional intraday yo-yo… and then back to square one. But this time, history might repeat itself—again.
📌 A bullish breakout isn’t off the table, but it needs to clear 5650.
📌 Until then, I’m riding the bear swing lower, watching for a final push.
📌 Friday’s rally took us to the upper range, but futures are hinting at weakness.
I’ve rolled some experimental GEX trades since I’ll be away from the desk Monday, checking in from St. Paddy’s Day festivities.
And if we get one last bearish flush while I’m raising a pint anf splitting the G? Even better. 🍻
Let’s break it down…

Deeper Dive Analysis:
At this point, the market feels like a Netflix show that’s dragging out an episode—we know something big is coming, but when?
📌 The Setup – A Familiar Pattern, A Familiar Plan
We’ve seen this before.
SPX is back in the same range, teasing another bearish repeat.
Friday’s rally was nice, but futures are already softening.
ADD is at its bullish extreme—suggesting a drop or more sideways churn.
The question is whether this is just a rerun or the start of something new.
📌 The Trade Plan – Patience Pays… and So Does my Guinness
I’m favouring the bearish move for now because:
✅ I still have an open bear swing that’s in play.
✅ I’ve rolled some Friday GEX trades to extend my duration.
✅ A move lower to 5550/5500 would be ideal for exits.
As for the bullish swing, if it plays out:
✅ I won’t need to take action until Tuesday.
✅ 5650 needs to break, and a clear pullback entry to confirm.
📌 Looking Ahead – Let the Market Come to Me
For now, I’m happy letting the market do its thing while I enjoy my long weekend.
If SPX pushes lower, I’ll cash out and move on.
If it grinds sideways, my positions stay in place.
And if it rallies, I’ll reassess on Tuesday.
Either way, my trades are set, my strategy is solid, and my Guinness is cold. 🍀🍻

Fun Fact
📢 Did you know? The New York Stock Exchange was once closed every St. Patrick’s Day—until 1953, when they decided traders probably shouldn’t get an official day off for drinking.
💡 The Lesson? Markets may evolve, but traders will always find a reason to take a break when they can. 🍻
SPX : The Bottom is not IN yetMost likely we'll bounce from here and will get some relief on our bags. But don't get too much excited at that point, According to me it will be the time to de-risk some positions. I'm expecting this bounce to be a lower high and price to trade lower.
Reason : We have broken the weekly structure which is not a small thing. Last time when we broke the Weekly structure we saw a bottom at 27% decrease. I'm not saying that it will drop 25% this time as well but this downside movement ( that we have experienced ) is not enough. I'm expecting at least 15% drop.
Invalidation : Invalidation of this idea is weekly closing above 6,121. Until it doesn't happen, I'm bearish on equities.
GL!
Indices -MOnday 17, march 2025Liquidity Sweep & Rejection:
Price reached a high near 5,631.4 and got rejected from a supply zone (highlighted red box).
This suggests a potential liquidity grab before a reversal.
Entry Confirmation:
The price has started forming lower highs and lower lows after the rejection.
There's a consolidation after the rejection, possibly forming a distribution phase before moving lower.
SPX: no rate cuts in MarchThe negative market sentiment on the US equity markets continued during the previous week, where Friday brought some relief. A lot of mixed economic news, as well as stories regarding new trade tariffs continued to shape the market sentiment. The US inflation in February was in line with market expectations of 0,2% in February. New jobs openings of 7,74M in February were a bit higher from market estimates, however, Michigan Consumer Sentiment preliminary for March, showed a bit surprising inflation expectations of 4,9%. This was higher from the previous post as well as the market forecast.
The S&P 500 dropped to its lowest weekly level at 5.513, from where it started its reversal toward the upside, ending the Fridays trading session at 5.638. Tech companies managed to mark one day in the week with a positive sentiment. Nvidia gained 5%, Meta was up by 3%, and Tesla was traded higher by 4%. Regardless of Friday`s positive sentiment, the week ahead might bring some challenges. The Fed will hold its meeting on March 19th, and will bring its view on current economic conditions. Volatility might continue with US indexes. At this moment, FedWatch is showing a 97% odds that the Fed will hold interest rates unchanged at their March m meeting.
SP no RADAR
Stay alert! If the S&P 500 breaks this region, we might see a buying opportunity, targeting the last bearish move’s key zone. 🎯

S&P500 4HR // 17 March 2025 AnalysisWe can see the S&P500 going into a downtrend.
Waiting to see what the price does when it reached the trendline and the marked support/resistance zone around the 5750.00 area.
Potential sells if we can get a good rejection off the area as well as the trendline. A good target would be the 5500.00 area.

$SPX inverse SP:SPX inverse for a different perspective. I would consider this a retest. If it retakes support zone and 200d, then we reconsider.
20/9d MA is still providing a bearish bias with momentum to the downside and this should be considered a short-term bounce until proven incorrect.
Are we heading to a Bear Market?I examine the SPX and conclude the chances are higher than most people think
S&P - WEEKLY SUMMARY 10.3-14.3 / FORECAST📉 S&P500 – 9th week of the base cycle (average 20 weeks), which began with the pivot forecast on January 13. The bear is completing the overdue 50-week and 4-year cycles. Target levels are outlined in previous posts. Retrograde Venus, which typically supports bulls, aligned with the bear this year and reinforced the decline.
👉 As I mentioned in early March and in the last post, retrograde Venus played out this week with a one-week lag upwards. The reversal was confirmed by the extreme forecast on March 17, as expected. This is classic – the start of retrograde Mercury. The setup suggests the beginning of the second phase of the base cycle.
⚠️ Given that we are in a bearish base cycle, the second phase is also expected to be bearish – a short rally followed by a sharp drop below the opening level. A strong resistance level is at the familiar 5850 mark. The next extreme forecast is March 17. Since retrograde Mercury falls on a Saturday, it may have already played out on Friday, marking the start of Phase 2. The next extreme forecast is March 24. There's also a pivot forecast on March 19, but that is more relevant to crude.
👉 The movement range of the short position from January 24 or the triple top on February 20 to the March 17 extreme forecast exceeded $20K per contract. Congratulations to those who took the trade – a great setup. The more daring traders may consider a long position from March 17, as there is decent upside potential to 5850.
Bias downside for S&P to 5k if this happenWatch out in the coming week—if the price drops below 5,500, the bear market may persist, with final support expected around 5,000, near the weekly 200-day moving average.
This would represent a 20% decline from the peak or all-time high (ATH).
