S&P500: Bottom is in. Strong 5month rally ahead.S&P500 is bearish on its 1D technical outlook (RSI = 38.840, MACD = -92.170, ADX = 55.129) as it hasn't crossed above the 4H MA50 or the 1D MA50 yet. Still, it did price the bottom on the HL trendline of its 2year Channel Up. The 4H MACD formed however a new Bullish Cross on the LH trendline, same as the October 31st 2023 HL bottom. As the market did then (October 2023), the 4H Death Cross that took place last week, happened exactly at the bottom and the 0.618 Fibonacci of the previous HL. We are still bullish and our target remains the -0.618 Fib (TP = 6,900).

SPX50 18 March 2025 Market Analysis
Yesterday closed as a bull bar in its upper half with a long tail above.
We said that the parabolic wedge (3 pushes - 28 Feb, 7 Mar, and 13 Mar). That increases the odds of a minor pullback. The pullback is currently underway.
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.
Traders will see if they can continue to create follow-through buying.
The next target for the bulls are the 20-day EMA or the January 13 low.
For today, the bulls want a retest of yesterday's (Mar 17) high followed by another leg up.
The bears see any pullback as minor. They expect at least a small second leg sideways to down to retest the Mar 13 low after the pullback phase.
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. This remains true.
That means the first pullback would likely only be minor.
Because of the climactic selloff and parabolic wedge, the market may try to form a minor pullback which is currently underway.
Traders will see the strength of the pullback. If it is strong (consecutive bull bars closing near their highs), they may look for a retest of the breakout point - Jan 13 low.
If the pullback lacks follow-through buying (overlapping candlesticks, doji bars, bear bars, long tails above bars), the odds of another leg down increases and traders will sell the pullback.
For now, traders will see if the bulls can create a strong retest of yesterday's (Mar 17) high followed by a breakout above.
Or will the retest lacks follow-through buying, stalling around or below yesterday's high area? If this is the case, the market may selloff in the second half of the day.

SPX Rally or Trap? Here’s What I’m WatchingSPX Rally or Trap? Here’s What I’m Watching | SPX Analysis 18 Mar 2025
After a well-earned extra-long weekend, I’m playing a little game of catch-up.
SPX has broken out of the range, now making a strong 2-day rally—but is it the start of something bigger, or just another fakeout before the next drop?
📌 My bull trigger is locked in above 5705.
📌 My bear trigger is waiting below 5625.
📌 Larger timeframe suggests we could still see 5255 if the move fails.
With my levels set and my triggers waiting, it’s all about execution now.
Time to let the market make the first move—then I’ll strike.
---
Deeper Dive Analysis:
Taking a day off from the markets always makes me itch to get back in—but it also means I have to play catch-up.
Yesterday’s price action unfolded pretty much as expected, so now it’s all about execution.
📌 The Setup – Is This Breakout the Real Deal?
SPX has broken out of the recent range and rallied for two straight days—but we’ve seen this trick before.
If this move has real momentum, I’ll enter in above 5705.
If it’s another fakeout, my bear trigger at 5625 will come into play.
On the daily chart, a failure here could send us as low as 5255.
📌 The Trade Plan – Let the Market Make the First Move
✅ I’m not rushing in—I’m waiting for my levels to get hit.
✅ If we stay above 5705, I’ll take the bullish entry.
✅ If we roll back under 5625, I’m flipping back to bearish.
📌 Bigger Picture – What Happens Next?
If the breakout holds, we could see a larger trend shift.
If it fails, 5500 becomes the next major level to watch.
Either way, I’m positioned to react—not predict.
📌 Bottom Line – The Market Makes the First Move
I’ve marked my levels, I’ve set my triggers, and now it’s just a waiting game.
Time to see what unfolds.

Fun Fact
📢 Did you know? In 1987, before circuit breakers were introduced, the Dow plunged 22% in a single day—the largest one-day drop in history.
💡 The Lesson? Sometimes, playing catch-up in the markets means waking up to absolute chaos. Luckily, I only missed a Monday. 😉
S&P500 - What's next - Tariffs , Interest Rate decision? As of March 18, 2025, the S&P 500 index has experienced significant volatility, influenced by President Donald Trump's recent tariff policies and anticipation surrounding the Federal Reserve's upcoming interest rate decision.
Scenario 1: Upside Potential Towards All-Time Highs
The S&P 500 has recently shown signs of recovery, with a 0.6% rise on Monday following a 2.1% surge on Friday, marking its best performance since Trump's re-election. This rebound suggests that, despite earlier corrections, investor sentiment may be improving.
If the Federal Reserve decides to maintain current interest rates in its upcoming meeting, it could signal confidence in the economy's resilience amid trade tensions. Such a stance might encourage further investment in equities, potentially propelling the S&P 500 towards its all-time highs. Additionally, some analysts believe that the market's recent correction is a healthy adjustment, and with improved earnings revisions and seasonal strength, a continued rally is plausible.
Scenario 2: Downside Risk Towards the 5,000 Support Level
Conversely, the aggressive tariff policies introduced by President Trump have raised concerns about inflationary pressures and potential slowdowns in economic growth. UBS analysts project that if the U.S. implements a 60% import tax on Chinese goods and a 10% tariff on other imports, the S&P 500 could end next year at 5,200, an 11% decline from its recent record close.
Furthermore, Goldman Sachs estimates that the current tariff plans could lead to a 5% drop in the S&P 500 in the coming months, as increased costs may squeeze corporate profit margins. If the Federal Reserve responds to these inflationary concerns by maintaining or even raising interest rates, borrowing costs could rise, potentially dampening consumer spending and business investment. Such developments might exert downward pressure on the S&P 500, bringing it closer to the 5,000 support level.
Summa Money
Our conclusion.
The S&P 500's trajectory in the near term is intricately linked to the outcomes of trade policies and monetary decisions. While the market has demonstrated resilience, the dual forces of tariff-induced economic adjustments and the Federal Reserve's interest rate stance will play pivotal roles in determining whether the index ascends towards new highs or retreats to key support levels.
In these volatile times, it is definitely a tough time to predict how the market would move , so this is why we are looking into the different options as how things would pan-out in the upcoming months in regards to the S&P500!
Positive outcome - Enter here with a target just below the ATH at 6,000 points, with your stop loss being above the bottom at 5,125 points
Negative outcome - Entere here with a target around the bottom at 5,000 , with a stop loss around the resistnace 5,750
I am interested to hear out your thoughs on this analysis and overall the idea behind whats happening with the U.S. economy and what would be the reaction for the S&P500!
S&P500 Channel Down broken. Will the 4H MA50 sustain an uptrend?The S&P500 index (SPX) broke above both its 1-month Channel Down and 4H MA50 (blue trend-line) yesterday and more importantly is so far keeping the price action sideways above it.
This is an indication that it may flip it from previously a Resistance, into Support. The signal for this bullish trend reversal came first (and a very timely one) by the 4H RSI, which formed Higher Lows against the price's Lower Lows on March 13, a clear Bullish Divergence. That turned out to be the bottom.
Now that bullish break-out has been confirmed, we expect a quick test of the 4H MA200 (orange trend-line) on the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level. Our short-term Target is 5900.

Trump Tariffs: Strategic Impact and Investment ImplicationsIn the short to medium term, equity markets will experience significant volatility due to new tariff implementations. However, in the long term, these tariffs could lead to a stronger domestic economy, benefiting the working class and middle class while revitalizing industrial production in the U.S.
Macroeconomic Impact
Depreciation of the U.S. Dollar
A depreciating USD acts as a natural tariff, making imports more expensive while simultaneously boosting U.S. exports. Countries with weaker currencies relative to the dollar, such as Mauritius (where our currency has depreciated by nearly 40% against the USD), already experience higher costs when purchasing from U.S. retailers like Amazon.
Inflation Trends and Precious Metals
Despite widespread fears of inflation—reflected in gold prices reaching all-time highs—actual inflation remains relatively stable (~2%). Factors such as import/export balances, currency devaluation, and consumer demand will likely offset inflationary pressures. Once investors recognize this, precious metals may undergo a correction.
Federal Reserve Policy and Interest Rates
The Federal Reserve's traditional mechanism of recession control—interest rate adjustments—is currently ineffective. With reports of declining payroll numbers, the Fed is expected to cut interest rates to prevent a mass exodus of aging investors (boomers) from the stock market. However, this time, rate cuts may not drive asset inflation as they did during COVID-19.
Investment Strategy: Navigating Market Changes
Short-Term: Uncertainty leading to stability
Bear Market Risks: Until tariff negotiations stabilize and currency depreciation takes effect, expect equity market volatility.
Investment Approach:
Buy high-quality corporate bonds in consumer staples with exposure to multiple currencies.
Hold cash reserves across multiple currencies to mitigate risk.
Prioritizing fixed-income securities (bonds, term deposits).
Consider real estate in stable emerging markets, where high-net-worth investors may shift investment focus.
Mid-Term: Seeds start to reap
Sector Focus: multinational companies benefiting from U.S. exports, particularly in non-tariff-heavy industries.
Stock Selection: Identify firms that continued capital investment during the downturn and are now positioned for growth.
Long-Term (2028+)
Monitoring Indicators:
Track interest rate trends and their impact on asset accumulation by wealthy investors.
Observe precious metal prices as an indicator of capital reallocation to assets.
Investment Approach:
Consider REITs and undervalued real estate investments.
Double down on assets if economic policies shift under a Democratic administration.

Short S&P - Flat Structure I have a zigzag confirmed ( 5-3-5), this means we could be in larger degree 3-3-5, flat structure.
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.

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.

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. 🍀🍻
