SPX Model Trading Plans for THU. 03/02The Fed Failing to Scare Inflation Off
This morning's initial jobless claims and productivity numbers show that the Fed is failing to scare off inflation, and the yields continue to rise. However, the increasingly bearish retail traders' positioning points to the potential for an upside spike. Thus, while the trend is downwards, bears need to be extremely nimble as there is a risk of sudden upside spikes due to retail stop runs by the big boys.

Sp500index
$SPY PUTS If we held above $400 it would signal a larger move up. Likelihood of that happening is quite low in my opinion. With a big week of low expected earnings, possible negative news coming from Powell, and many companies looking lacklustre with weak guidance, I expect that we can see a strong rejection of the $400 level.
Closed one put already from $399 to $396 and will gradually re-open a few Puts for March/April expiration between $397-$399
Looking for a TP level around $370 or at the .618 fib line. Not because it would be a bottom, but a good level to take profit as we approach expiration and where we might see a possible bounce.
Stop loss would be $400 as I don't expect us to head back above this level. However, if we do, the risk/reward ratio is worth it.
Good luck everyone.

EURUSD 200 PIPS FIRST TPin my previous analysis, I predicted EURUSD sell, and it moving nicely according to the analysis. I have booked 200 pips first TP and move stoploss to break even, I'm expecting it to touch the yellow zone I plotted. from that yellow zone we will know if it will continue downtrend or just retest to the upside.
SPX Bounce Target ReachedTen days ago, I wrote about a correction of the SPX back the red support zone. Now the time has come to talk about what could happen next.
The correction didn't happen in the beautiful fashion i had forseen, but this still works. What i expected was a clear zigzag formation within this falling channel, but we broke the support trendline and reached the first real correction target. After that, the price shot back in the channel.
From here, it is most likely that the price will go sideways, maybe in a fashion where it will touch the resistance line once again, or that the SPX is will reach the lower level of this zone, whilst staying in the channel.
S&P 500 - Waiting for a Breakout !The SPX500 is in double TOP Pattern, the price breaks the daily Support Level 🧐
Currently, the price is testing the Support Line !

SP500 SELLeace, mercy and blessings of God be upon you. The triangle has been successfully broken, and the uptrend, the market is in a downtrend.
SP500- Key support is at 3800$SPX SP500 turned lower back to 4k and there is room for 3800 as volatility & fear turn up, possibly to the side of 2022 range on $VIX. For now, still 2 counts on the watch list, but the bulls can be back early if 3800 causes intraday impulsive bounce. Bearish if 3800 is broken decisively.

TIP: Using a stochastic with settings of 5 for %K and 5 for %D you can get an idea when prices are bowing into the dance.
When bears become dominate, inverse ETFs become profitable.

However, the increasingly bearish retail traders' positioning indicates to a potential for upside spike. Thus, bears need to be patient before striking as there is a risk of retail stop runs by the big boys.

SPX Model Trading Plans for TUE. 02/21Range Break Downward Confirmed

If it is not confirmed, our models point to the risk of an upward spike, trapping the shorts. If going short, beware of a potential bear trap". We got that confirmation with a close at 4079.09 on Friday.
As forecast, the index followed with a deep fall today in the morning session today - how the price action develops throughout the day and into the closing is yet to be seen, and that will determine the forecast for further price action.

SPX - Big Picture...Very BigWhere do we go from here? Ask a hundred people...get a hundred different opinions.
Here's mine for whatever it's worth.
The decline off the January '22 top left the door open for many corrective scenarios.
You have the 2000/2008 "crashers" and you have the "correction is over" and we're on a Nirvanic journey into the stratosphere.
There's little doubt in my mind we are at an historic turning point relative to the environment we experienced over the past 13 years. The easy money era is over...anyone and everyone made money using the "buy the dip" approach.
What's likely based on my view of the big picture is that we'll have a large trading range corrective environment for years... tracing out a large flat wave 4. This fits into the rule of alternation between big picture wave 2 and my perceived wave 4 we've just begun.
Shorter term...I think the corrective range we are currently in could include a nominal new high along with sharp but contained corrections to chop up both long and short players. Don't get me wrong... there will be good money to be made but the "buy and hold" strategy is over along with "2008 is here" again. It's time to work for your money:)
My $.02
SPX in a BEAR Market? Retracement before a BULL TrapIn this Elliott Wave paradigm, I'm assuming that SPX have completed a BULL Cycle with large wave 3 and that a possible Zig Zag correction is currently unfolding.
If that's the case then, we shouldn't expect any BULL Market or wave 5 before 2024.
However, the AI hype could boost the markets during the end of the year with a test of the 61.8% and maybe above that price level.
The PERFECT BULL TRAP will be in play if this case were to play out.
Of course, we could already assumed that wave B has already finished but I take DURATION into consideration and other macro economics factors.
I'm expecting a correction of of nearly 50% in the short term (next couple of months) to then see a rally up until the end of the year. Maybe November.
Equities WEAK seasonallyS&P500 continues trading in a range, retesting the key resistance at 4180 region multiple times while not falling below 4050 region.
Only with a break of the 4050 region will there be a stronger probability of more downside movement.
Moreover, risk on assets are weak seasonally between February and March period.
SPX Model Trading Plans for FRI. 02/17Range Broken Downward?
On the Day 9 of the consolidation theme, our trading plans yesterday published: "If the index closes below 4150 today, our models indicate continued choppy trading until some unexpectedly positive macro development shows up. There is no bearish concerns as long as the index is above 4095".
The index closed below that 4095 level yesterday, leading our models to turn bearish, and our positional models to go short. Today's closing action needs to stay below 4088 to confirm this bearish turn. If it is not confirmed, our models point to the risk of an upward spike, trapping the shorts. If going short, beware of a potential bear trap.
Positional Trading Models: Our positional models opened a short on the close yesterday at 4090.42, with a take-profit on a cross above 4065, and a trailing stop of 33 points. The index crossed the 4065 at 9:42am, closing the short on the open of the next 1-minute bar at 4065.38, for a profit of 25.04 points.
For today, the models indicate going long on a cross above 4072 with a trailing stop of 12 points. Models also indicate going long at the daily close if above 4100 with a trailing stop of 10 points.
By definition, positional trading models may carry the positions overnight and over multiple days, and hence assume trading an instrument that trades beyond the regular session, with the trailing stops - if any - being active in the overnight session.
Intraday/Aggressive Models: Our aggressive, intraday models indicate the trading plans below for today.
Trading Plans for FRI. 02/17:
Aggressive Intraday Models: For today, our aggressive intraday models indicate going long on a break above 4072 or 4060, with a 9-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 4088, 4068, or 4055 with a 9-point trailing stop.
Models indicate explicit short exits on a break above 4093. Models also indicate a break-even hard stop once a trade gets into a 4-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 12:01pm ET or later.
By definition the intraday models do not hold any positions overnight - the models exit any open position at the close of the last bar (3:59pm bar or 4:00pm bar, depending on your platform's bar timing convention).

SPX: First Down Then UpIt looks like the SPX has topped out temporarily. This woudn't be too farfetched as the previous couple uptrends lasted for 34, 36, 21, 23, 40, and 33 days. Right now, we're looking at a top which has been formed after 28 days.
From the looks of it, its trying to form a falling channel. The properties of this pattern are:
- Declining parralel support and resistance lines
- Price oscilating between the support and resistance lines
- Bottom at an important support zone
- Going sideways after hitting the bottom, preferibly with a daily bullish divergence
I'm still bullish on the SPX for 2023, but for now i'm expecting a small correction.
SPY SPX weekly chart thesisPlaying devil's advocate here if we start to sell off and the bears begin to celebrate creating FOMO short. I am longer term bullish looking at this weekly chart even if we get a wick down to the 21ema at our favorite 395 area, however I will not hesitate to flip bearish if we get a candle close under the 21.
Technical supports for my thesis: #1. The most obvious is the clear break out of this bearish down trend line. #2. For the first time since ATH more than a year ago we have touched the top of the upper Bollinger band. Note how many times we touched the bottom Bollinger band throughout the carnage. I count 16 weekly candles! #3. Our beloved 9&21EMAs have finally crossed, a corrective orderly pullback back to the moving averages is healthy for continuation. Yes I do think we get a pullback perhaps tomorrow, maybe next week, who knows? I want a pullback, but we have to keep those candles closed above the 21ema IMO.
