Sharp reversal in US marketsAmid market volatility and uncertainty, US stock indices experienced a sharp decline last week. The Dow Jones Index (#DJI30) fell by 3.5%, the S&P 500 (#SP500) dropped by 4.1%, and the Nasdaq-100 (#NQ100) lost 5.5%. Investors reacted nervously to new economic data, including rising inflation and expectations of interest rate hikes, leading to a sell-off in stocks and a decline in key indices. The drop was particularly significant in the technology and consumer sectors, where companies like Apple and Tesla lost around 6-7% of their value. However, starting March 13, 2025, the indices began to recover: #DJI30 gained 2.3%, #SP500 rose by 2.5%, and #NQ100 increased by 3.1%. The recent rebound in US stock indices has been driven by several factors that restored investor confidence. Let’s take a closer look at the main reasons: • Improvement in unemployment data: Labor market statistics played a crucial role in the market recovery. The US unemployment rate fell to 3.4% in February 2025, marking a record low in recent decades. This indicates strong employment levels and economic resilience, boosting investor optimism and supporting stock market growth. • Stabilization of inflation and interest rate expectations: Although inflation in the US remains high, recent data showed a slowdown in its growth. Reduced inflationary pressure gave investors hope that the Federal Reserve (Fed) might slow down the pace of interest rate hikes. This was perceived as a sign of potential economic stabilization, positively impacting stock indices. • Growth in consumer spending: One of the key drivers of the recent market recovery has been the increase in consumer spending. In Q1 2025, consumer demand in the US showed strong performance, serving as an essential indicator of economic activity. Increased spending on goods and services supports business stability and enhances corporate revenues, which, in turn, stimulates stock growth. • Absence of new geopolitical risks: In recent weeks, there have been no major geopolitical crises or new threats on the international stage. This helped financial markets stabilize, as investors could focus on economic data and corporate earnings reports, contributing to stock index growth. • Positive corporate earnings reports: • #Microsoft (MSFT): Microsoft shares rose by 4.2% after reporting strong quarterly results, driven by growth in cloud services and software revenue. • #Google (GOOGL): Alphabet’s stock increased by 3.7% due to higher advertising revenue and improved forecasts for upcoming quarters. • #Apple (AAPL): Apple shares climbed 2.9%, supported by strong sales of new products and rising revenue from services. • #Tesla (TSLA): Tesla stock surged 5.6%, fueled by strong electric vehicle sales growth and optimistic profit projections for the next quarter. These companies demonstrated significant growth on the back of improved financial performance, strengthening investor confidence and aiding the stock market’s recovery amid volatility. So despite last week’s market downturn, the current situation in the US stock market signals a potential recovery and a more positive trend in the coming weeks.

Ultimate summary of Powell’s comments today As expected, Powell reiterated that the Fed is in no rush to adjust rates, and the labour market is stable. He also reaffirmed the Fed’s reliance on hard data over sentiment and the approach of slowing balance sheet reduction. What’s different this time: Inflation & tariffs: Powell acknowledged that recent inflation upticks may be tariff-driven, delaying progress toward price stability. The Fed’s base case assumes tariff inflation is temporary. Economic sentiment: Consumer sentiment has weakened, partly due to Trump policy changes, and concerns over inflation are growing. Recession risk: Forecasts now lean toward weaker growth and higher inflation, with recession risks slightly elevated but still not high.

Will the spring & summer of 2025 conclude our retrace in minor BIn the interest of full disclosure we have not even confirmed our minor A has in fact bottomed...but assuming we have struck a short term bottom, we are now embarking on a minor B wave retrace that I anticipate taking us into the start of summer. In any respect, I am viewing this as only a counter trend rally with a scary (c) of C of (A) to come into the low SPX 5,000 region eventually. There everything gets decided for the long-term. Be careful out there. Chris

S&P500 INTRADAY awaits Fed’s decision and press conferenceThe US Federal Reserve will announce its interest rate decision and release the monetary policy statement on Wednesday at 18:00 GMT, followed by a press conference from Chairman Jerome Powell at 18:30 GMT. Recent weak economic data from the US, along with new tariffs announced by President Donald Trump, have raised concerns about a possible recession. Despite this, the Fed is expected to keep interest rates unchanged for the second meeting in a row. The updated Summary of Economic Projections (SEP) could provide important insights into the Fed’s future plans. However, the stock market remains wary that the Fed might not take a dovish enough stance. Inflation remains high, and tariffs could push prices even higher, making the central bank cautious about easing policy. Key Support and Resistance Levels Resistance Level 1: 5714 Resistance Level 2: 5770 Resistance Level 3: 5872-5920 Support Level 1: 5500 Support Level 2: 5387 Support Level 3: 5254 This communication is for informational purposes only and should not be viewed as any form of recommendation as to a particular course of action or as investment advice.

S&P500/Macro end of Cycle: 2027This chart shows the cyclical nature of the global economy, S&P500. There is a clear correlation between a Bull supercycle and a 50% correction afterwards, which lasts for half the period of the supercycle. First SuperCycle had a 27 years long growth, then 13.5 years correction. Second SuperCycle had 18 years long growth and 9 years long correction. Current SuperCycle ends in 2027 technically. It is reasonable to sell your assets in 2026, at least 50% of all your portfolio.

We always & forever aim to the Moon A prevailing theory suggests that adjustments in the channel trend lines within stock markets signal the advent of a digital currency era—a shift towards monetary systems that no longer rely on benchmarking against the U.S. dollar. From a technical analysis perspective, this evolution is interpreted as a natural progression toward a more digitized financial landscape. Looking back over the 40-year history of stock markets, one might question the overall state of Western economies. Despite intermittent, minor declines that are often sensationalized by the media, major indices such as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq have quietly continued to reach all-time highs. This persistent upward trend supports economic theories that highlight market resilience and self-correcting mechanisms, even in the face of periodic volatility. Moreover, there is substantial evidence that the United States has consistently injected liquidity into its financial system to stabilize and sustain growth. This strategy, while potentially masking underlying vulnerabilities, appears to have worked effectively over the past half-century. The practice can be seen as a self-reinforcing mechanism—one that maintains market momentum and may delay or even avert any catastrophic "Great Reset" or systemic collapse. In contrast, emerging markets like Thailand have experienced prolonged periods of stagnation, with stock prices moving sideways for approximately 15 years. This divergence raises a critical question: why do developed markets benefit from these self-sustaining policies while some emerging markets do not? Ultimately, if the mechanisms that have driven developed markets continue to function as they historically have, the anticipated dramatic resets or collapses may never materialize. Instead, the upward trajectory—often colloquially described as heading “to the moon”—is likely to persist in markets where these policies are in place.

SPX 5734 today?Having studied volume profile and price geometry I expect SPX to see 5734 today. I am showing trend convergence to confirm my target. Iast two days green bars have been with low volume, show low confidence so it needs to spend some time between 5620 and 5734 if it has to move higher. I also believe 5520 was the bottom, dipping below the long trendline to shake off weak hands. Only if inflation comes in higher in next reading we could break that. Aslo the fact that we have the highest shorts since Aug last year, makes the market bullish

Tight Coil, Big Move Coming - FOMC Could Be the TriggerTight Coil, Big Move Coming - FOMC Could Be the Trigger | SPX Analysis 19 Mar 2025 Sometimes, doing nothing is the best trade you’ll ever make. While I was off enjoying my long weekend, SPX’s bullish move got slapped back into the range. Had I jumped in long, I’d probably be hedging or cursing my screen right now. Now, price is coiling into a bear flag, and with the FOMC circus rolling into town at 2PM, I’m expecting things to stay tight until the fireworks start. 📌 Bullish above 5705. 📌 Bearish below 5605. 📌 Until then, I sit back and let the market make the first move. Because in this game, you don’t force trades—you wait for the perfect shot. --- Deeper Dive Analysis: Some days, doing nothing is the right trade. That’s exactly what I did over my long weekend, and it ended up saving me from stepping into a bullish trap. SPX’s move up was short-lived, and now we’re right back in the range—but this time, it’s setting up in an interesting way. 📌 The Setup – Bear Flag + FOMC = Volatility Incoming SPX has: Fallen back into the previous range—bulls are losing control. Coiled into a tight bear flag formation—hinting at a breakdown. FOMC later today, which could be the match that lights the next move. 📌 The Trade Plan – Let the Market Show Its Hand Right now, I have no interest in guessing. Instead, I’m letting the market come to me. Bullish above 5705? I’ll consider a long setup. Bearish below 5605? I’ll ride the downside momentum. Until then, I sit tight. 📌 Bigger Picture – The Waiting Game FOMC is always a game of patience. Traders try to guess what’s coming, but most end up whipsawed to oblivion. I won’t be one of them. If the market confirms my bias, I strike. If it fakes out, I wait for a better setup. No stress, no panic—just disciplined execution. 📌 Bottom Line – The Best Trade Is Sometimes No Trade For now, I’m watching, waiting, and keeping my capital intact. Because when the market finally makes its real move, I’ll be there, ready to take full advantage. --- Fun Fact 📢 Did you know? The longest FOMC meeting in history lasted five days—in 1932, during the Great Depression. Traders were left in limbo, staring at their tickers, waiting for an answer that took 120 hours to arrive. 💡 The Lesson? Waiting for clarity isn’t new—it’s just that today, we get our pain in hours, not days.

US500 StanceThe equal lows from the 4H price action had me thinking. If we look at it from a range perspective, there is still a wide gap left from the 4H change of character, ever since it took the last low of the lower lows, it never gave a single percent to the area's retracement. This might be a daily timeframe FOMO trap. whereby recovery of the market from sells to buys will be pumped to only drop again. In terms of entry. There is a zone with mind for us to consider seeing if it holds. because right now there is some dying triangle pattern towards it. should it delay, but keep showing some sell intent. we will wait for the session to sweep its high and sell it. should it fail, a further analysis will take through

SPX cycle tell me we are in a bear market this yearThe cycles and the crosses are clones, therefore not exact fit.It doesn't look like a correction when I look at the cycles and pattern. I am more convinced that it is going to be a bear market in USA not just on technical but even on fundamentals: China has just finished a recession and will grow with higher cost of production, unlike 2000-2015. Market and Fed is under illusion that inflation will come down to 2% (Thank chinese cheap goods for that before covid, but not now and going forward). Higher cost of chinese goods and trump tariff are sure to jack up inflation to 4%+ this year in my opinion. People are addicted to low interest rate since 2000's, but historically they ware always higher at 6% mean. Any rallies would be temporary
