SPX500 - The Smallest Retrace & The First To Go
I have to point out once again that, despite all the bearish fundamentals, market price action is simply not a bear market. You see this so clearly on SPX's monthly bars:
During the worst of October, all the market was really doing was retracing to the two-month late 2020 orderblock that ultimately led to the 4,800 ATH. Price has since retraced and the markets at large don't like to dump, even on bad news. Even CPI coming in hot didn't lead to much of a dump.
The Geopolitical Climate With China
The most important factor when trading these markets is that you have to keep an eye on what's going on with China at all times. I've talked in my previous posts extensively and ad nauseum about how the Wuhan Pneumonia pandemic has killed a lot more people than the Chinese Communist Party and western establish media let on.
But what this all points to is simply that the Party is in a weakened state. What the Party being in a weakened state means is that a number of geopolitical factions, most notably the western globalist (western Communist Party) bloc has its eyes on how to seize and take control of China as the evil regime falls.
The way the globalists will do things is not to invade China, because the Chinese people and the world will not recognize a western occupation of the mainland. Instead, over the years, groups like the World Economic Forum and other globalist arms have, for a long period of time, been grooming certain Chinese nationals, who are themselves members of the Party, to make preparations for how to seize control of the country when Xi Jinping falls.
The problem the globalists face is that they aspire to install a one world government. But to do that, they need the world's (formerly) largest population and oldest country, China.
However, the existence of the CCP with its rogue, arrogant, and dominating nature makes this impossible, unless the globalists would like to make the CCP the center of the world government, which they obviously do not. Because they want to be the center of the world government.
And so preparations have been in the works for years as to how to take control of China when the Party is gone.
The problem for humanity is that China's 5,000 years of tradition and culture are critical for the future. Yet, everywhere the globalist faction goes you get a twisted, atheist, modernist culture that can't tell the difference between genders, is highly promiscuous, and serves in many ways as a force even worse than the CCP has been in its weakened state over the recent years.
And so, this is the real threat: what the globalist faction will do when it feels the CCP is teetering on the edge. Anything is on the table, because a global crisis will be needed in advance. Environmental disasters, pandemics and plagues, war, problems with nuclear plants, social problems within certain countries, Project Bluebeam stuff, all are on the table.
And all such risks are on the table at any time, and these problems are arranged to unfold when the markets are high, not low, so as to create an additional layer of pain and panic in both the business and civilian sectors.
A layer of the crisis wherein everyone is losing a lot of money is important, because it hurts and causes a lot of damage, and the Party needs a significant and intense crisis in order to have the pretext needed to "save you" from as they install one world government, which is really, the "Ultimate Goal of Communism."
So, be careful. Whatever you believe is your own business, but at least someone is willing to warn you of what is unfolding under your nose.
The call
On weekly bars you can see that the February FOMC pump came up just short of the September CPI gap surprise panic that led markets to the 2022 low of the year:
What this should tell you is that no matter the bearish narrative prevailing or the bearish, scary impulse that may be coming, the SPX has not topped.
Instead, I believe after we're finished being scary for a bit, we're going to see 4,500.
Moreover, because I believe that Oil, Natural Gas, and even Silver are prone to go up in the shorterm, that the SPX's retrace is going to be the smallest, and it'll be the first of the indexes to go up.
WTI Crude - Step 1) $88 --> Step 2) $58
Natural Gas? More Like Natural Go. 4-Handle Coming.
Silver SI - A Simple Trendline and Levels Scalp
A 200 point dump into the 3,800s is enough to make SPY calls expire worthless, enough to scare bulls, trap bears, and enough to give you a 15% upside for a run to 4,500.
You need to fade the bear hype right now, but you also have to be careful about how and when you get in. That means utilizing ETFs, commons that compose the index, and calls that have a 3-6 month expiry, because things could take 30 or 45 days to really unfold and really breakout.
But importantly, if you do see SPX 4,500 and 4,600, you have to check your enthusiasm. You might see a new ATH, but that ATH may serve to be a bump and run reversal that will seriously hurt you.
And most critically, you need to focus your effort on improving your character, taking care of your family, and patching up whatever regrets you're carrying around. Because life is short. Human life is so short. Everyone is about to experience and understand again just how fragile human life really is.
Be careful, friends.

So close to the buy box, so fast, so February month end.

This kind of price action around 4,000 and range equilibrium makes me feel in my guts that it's a bull trap. But it's also consistent with some bounce patterns lately.
Losing 4,000x would be the best "confirmation" for bears though, and that's what I really want to see.

Market makers have people well conditioned to buy the dip right now.
But the algorithm, which takes orders from market makers based on where volume can be generated by supply and demand, won't retrace hard anymore if the target is to the downside to achieve a capitulation or put selling objective.
There's news drivers on the economic calendar all the way until Monday, March 6 though.

Well, we got to the buy box. But really, 100 points lower is the sweet spot imo.
You know, unless it really is bearpocalypse town because REASONS.

The most painful area for the MMs to ship it to is under 3789, targeting weekly and monthly lows that won't break market structure.
And we're in a situation where everyone's conditioned to buy the dip and while trading short can only work as a scalp.

So, after this bounce, did SPX bottom?
It traded to the buy box.
But I have reservations about this. Taking out buy stops above old pivots is a short signal, rather than a buy signal, unless price first took out the final low or rebalanced a big gap.
SPX MMs should be long from 3,750, not from 3,900. I'm still looking for a trade to the low 38xxs.
All of this price action reinforced that the markets are just not bearish.

It's worth fading all the bear FUD and considering if the market had bottomed today when it ran the key lows:
VIX also mega spiked to 29.
Imo, CPI is likely to come in light on Tuesday and the Fed may even stop hiking rates at March FOMC.
Monday could be a very good buying opportunity.
