SPX S&P 500 Fell 10% After the Last U.S. Credit Downgrade !!!Fitch Ratings made a significant move by downgrading the US debt rating on Tuesday, shifting it from the highest AAA rating to AA+. The downgrade was attributed to a "steady deterioration in standards of governance." This decision followed intense negotiations among lawmakers to reach a debt ceiling deal, which posed a risk of the nation's first default.
The S&P 500 experienced a notable decline of 10% within three months after the previous U.S. credit downgrade. The downgrade occurred on August 5, 2011, by Standard & Poor's, one of the major credit rating firms, following another intense debt ceiling battle. The day after the S&P downgrade, the S&P 500 suffered a nearly 7% drop, dubbed "Black Monday." Subsequently, the benchmark index declined by 5.7% that month and an additional 7.2% in September.
Jim Reid, a strategist at Deutsche Bank, emphasized that the 12-year-old news of S&P being the first to downgrade was significant, allowing investors to adjust their perceptions of the world's most important bond market, which was no longer considered pure AAA. Nonetheless, Fitch's recent decision to downgrade remains impactful.
In the current scenario, the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield has risen to 4.15%, the highest since November 2022.
As for my price target for this year, it remains at $4900, as illustrated in the chart provided below:
Looking forward to read your opinion about it!

RUT 2K Price Prediction for 2024If you haven`t bought the Double Bottom on RUT 2K:
Then you probably know that small caps haven`t participated in the 2023 market rally.
That`s why I believe investors will will for opportunities in the small cap stocks in 2024, and Russell 2000 index might offer a bigger return than the S&P this year.
My price prediction for RUT 2K is $2560 by the end of the year.
QQQ Nasdaq 100 ETF Price Prediction for 2024This was my price prediction for QQQ in 2023. I was bullish, but not enough:
Considerations about 2024:
In the July 2023 meeting, the FOMC chose to raise interest rates to a range of 5.25%–5.50%, marking the 11th rate hike in the current cycle aimed at mitigating heightened inflation. The prevailing consensus among market experts hints at a potential shift in strategy, suggesting that the Fed might commence rate cuts later in 2024 as inflation gradually aligns with the Fed's 2% target. Statistically, historical data indicates that approximately 11 months after the cessation of interest rate increases, a recession tends to manifest. This pattern places us around June 2024, aligning with my prediction of a dip in the QQQ to approximately $370.
Given that 2024 is an election year, there's an additional layer of complexity in predicting market behavior. Despite the anticipated mid-year dip, my inclination is that the QQQ will conclude the year on a bullish note. This optimistic outlook hints at the onset of a 3-5 year AI bubble cycle, with the QQQ boasting a year-end price target of $460.
The integration of artificial intelligence into various sectors is expected to catalyze market growth and innovation, propelling the QQQ to new heights by the close of 2024.
DXY - The Leading Index For 2024Hello Traders, welcome to today's analysis of Dollar Index.
--------
Explanation of my chart analysis:
DXY (Dollar Index) has been forming a triple bottom all the way back in 2008 and has been rising ever since. With the recent break above the psychological $100 level, the DXY is once again confirming the bullish strength. If DXY doesn't break below this area, I am targeting new swing highs.
--------
I will only take a trade if all the rules of my strategy are satisfied.
Let me know in the comment section below if you have any questions.
Keep your long term vision.
US500 - Potential Bearish Momentum ❗️Hello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders,
In accordance with my latest analysis, which is attached to the chart, we have been anticipating a rejection of the all-time high.
📉 For the bears to assume control and confirm the beginning of the correction phase, a break below the last major low highlighted in red is required.
Meanwhile, until the bears take control, US500 would remain bullish and could still move within the green all-time high zone.
📚 Always follow your trading plan regarding entry, risk management, and trade management.
Good luck!

Breakout in Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI)...Chart is self explanatory. Levels of breakout, possible up-moves (where stock may find resistances) and support (close below which, setup will be invalidated) are clearly defined.
Disclaimer: This is for demonstration and educational purpose only. This is not buying or selling recommendations. Please consult your financial advisor before taking any trade.
BTC Expectations for the new year, one mfin ride. More below! BTC has shown bullish willingness. I anticipate the new year to visit the lows around 25K, and the quarterly FVG, I will be there to accumulate some. Market might decide not to even go there and just fill the inefficiency at 32K and decide to moon from there. I'd worry about BTC if we close below 19K and stay there for over a couple of days. I'm not a Crypto bull but I'm for sure a Fiat bear so it forces me to be a crypto bull to a certain extent. If the ETF goes through and it most likely will, I expect volatility but eventually the highs around 65K will get swept. I highly doubt they're safe and I want a piece of the cake. With a bearish TVC:DXY and a bearish outlook on the future of fiat in general, we might see crazy numbers on BTC. I will keep the idea updated as the market tips its hand. let's enjoy the ride.
S&P500 Long setupTraders,
The S&P500 has been 9 days without testing support and saw All Time-Highs. Today, the daily chart has presented a high probability of resuming the trend after a sharp correction.
I already have an existing long that has done well but I'm adding into the position for this setup for icing on the cake.
New:
Long S&P 500 SPY
target 4848.00
Stop 4695
US500 - Critical Zone Ahead ❗️Hello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders,
📈 After breaking above 4100.0 high, US500 has been overall bullish trading inside the blue rising wedge pattern and it is currently approaching the upper bound of the pattern.
Moreover, the zone 4800.0 is the current All-Time-High.
🎯 Therefore , the highlighted blue circle represents a significant area to consider for potential shift in momentum, as it marks the intersection of the green All-Time-High and the upper blue trendline.
📚 As per my trading style:
As US500 approaches the blue circle zone, I will be actively searching for bearish reversal setups to capture the next bearish correction movement.
For the bulls to invalidate the bearish scenario, we need a momentum weekly candle closing above the All-Time-High.
📚 Always follow your trading plan regarding entry, risk management, and trade management.
Good luck!

Beating SP500 with SP500: Outperformed The Index Its Own WeaponsHi, all.
Hope you're doing well.
Looks like a good time to share a summary of a post I made almost a few years ago about SP500 stocks, 23.02.2022. Back then, I relied solely on technical analysis. Fast forward two years and the majority of my picks have proven to be quite accurate, showcasing the effectiveness of technical analysis in investing.
While the SP500 gained around 10%, my selected stocks outperformed with an impressive 35% gain. Out of the 75 stocks I handpicked, 51 are currently in profit, 12 are in the red, and the rest didn't reach enough close to the zone or haven't made a breakout yet. So 63 has triggered and it will give a winning percentage of more than 80%. I'm okay with that.
These results show the importance of technical analysis in making informed investment decisions. It's a clear example of how understanding market trends and patterns can lead to substantial gains, even when ignoring company fundamentals.
These results challenge the notion that picking individual stocks is fairly difficult to beat market averages. Instead, it demonstrates that with the right skills and a strategic approach to technical analysis, it's not only possible but achievable.
I'm excited about these outcomes and look forward to further refining my strategies in the ever-evolving world of finance.
Results are calculated by purchasing with an equal amount of money from every area that I drew and holding these until today (started to make this post quite a few days ago so it can add a bit of variation).
If the price falls through the box and comes back afterward then I always calculate from the middle of the box that purchase price. If I had done it at the best possible price then these results would have been significantly better. I did it the optimal way, you will see yourself...
1. AAPL - a load-it-up type of thing has worked out nicely. Used previously worked resistance levels. If the stocks performing well and the market cap is big then these levels can help you to get on board.

Current loss -57%
Before:
After:

Before:
After:
52) NVIDIA (NVDA) let this speaks for itself!

Current profit 72%
Before:
After:
54) Pfizer (PFE) - yeah, got rejected after it came to retest the area the first time to around 30% but after that - slow death.

Before:
After:
55) PerkinElmer - “after” is EUR chart but you get the point.

Before:
After:
62) Snap-On Incorporated (SNA) - same story!
Before:
After:
63) Seagate Technology (STX) - firstly it came there! Look how far it was, the technical levels are like magnets, the price needs to find some liquidity for further growth and these areas can offer it. I like this, and the climbing can continue.
Current profit 42%
Before:
After:
64) Skyworks Solutions (SWKS) - one of the textbook examples of how trendline, 50 drop, round nr. and strong horizontal price zone should match. A bit slow but oohhh boy I want this will play out. I have talked about this idea in several presentations and it is kind of a perfect example of how these criteria can determine the strongest zone on the chart!

As we summarise this journey through the past two years of market analysis and stock picking, it's clear that the power of technical analysis has been a guiding force in achieving remarkable results.
As said, these chartings are made solely based on technical analysis but if you add here a bit of fundamentals then these results can be much better. Probably would have avoided some losses. If possible, always use both analyses. Let this post prove to you that technical analysis works in most cases and helps you find good entry points. These areas act like magnets. Sooner or later the price will still reach these levels. I like this saying a lot and I will end my post with it: fundamental analysis tells you what to buy, technical analysis tells you when to buy!
Hopefully, you liked this post, learned something from it and if it isn't too much to ask then which one was your favorite?
Take care & happy trading,
Vaido
Final SPX Short This Index has continuously been going up at a high-speed rate for the past seven weeks. However, after this analysis, I believe this will end very soon, and we will see the start of a market crash for the SPX500. H4 is Severely overbought with a lot of divergence, and there is a triple top to show resistance. There is finally a pattern on Weekly that has never occurred before, thus giving this trade a better chance of success. We will try to sell at the high of 4735 and expect a tremendous ROI.
DXY D1 - Short SetupDXY D1
The dollar index has drifted lower, aligning with the latest developments and insights pertaining to the battle against inflation and central bank interest rates. We witnessed a significant downward move, sliding from 104.000 to 102.000, amounting to a substantial 200-point drop. Subsequently, we are observing a modest rebound, mirroring the overarching global trends highlighted earlier.
A potential adjustment back to the 103.000 level would be a logical move for us. This would constitute a robust 50% correction, harmonising seamlessly with our established trading zone for potential short positions.
BTC : RSI Macro-TREND Market Hack 😎Hi Traders, Investors and Speculators of Charts📈📉
As I've said before, I love the logarithmic view of BTC. It gives a clearer indication of price increases alongside growth. Although inflation and value factors aren't physically calculated into the price, seeing the upwards curve makes more sense from a "holistic view" that would include things such as growth and inflation.
A logarithmic chart view displays price changes as a percentage of the previous price. This means that equal vertical distances on the chart represent equal percentage changes, regardless of the absolute price level.
This is in contrast to a regular chart view, which displays price changes on an arithmetic scale. This means that equal vertical distances on the chart represent equal absolute price changes.
With help of technical indicator RSI, we can use the macro logarithmic together with the RSI as a sort of "roadmap" to identify the current dominant macro trend .
