All I can say is, what a Bounce! Well done Mr. President and institutions for keeping the Bears honest, btw: shout out to the real Mr. P! Unfortunately, you cannot prop up a market forever, and nature’s course will always find a way. I believe from this point on you can expect the market to be in a perpetual downtrend with lower highs and lower lows over the long term (next few years). I am not predicting a 'fell swoop' quick crash starting tomorrow, but more of an orderly sell-off until towards the end of the market cycle when everyone pushes the panic button together. You can see from the last two crashes how they behaved in this manner. Note: this trade idea is for a long term trading/investing. It is not guaranteeing that we will start the steep selling this week, although we certainly could. We could even stay at this level for a month; we don't really know but I would say better safe than sorry, establish your shorts and manage risk off of the 282 major horizontal resistance.
This market is about 6% overextended from where it "should" have turned around, based upon technical’s and their highest probabilities being at 262 reversal. I say "should" because there are no should's in the market, just what the price action does, and that is the only absolute truth. This is great for people who have been long up until this point. In a bear market, those gains can be taken out very quickly as we have seen 2 years of gains taken out in one month time (Dec 3- Dec 25 -16.6%) ...C'est la vie #BearMktLife
Fundamentals
I am not in a camp of looking at recent changes to influence these markets' fundamentals. These markets fundamentals are much more long term and lagging then people realize. These started 10 years ago after our last crash and how we have fiscally operated this country since then, during the 'biggest bull run in history'. Quantitative easing, Excessive Fed printing, bailouts, and 0% Fed interest for 9 years, etc etc. This market will not be saved from any of the following: trade deals with China, or how Powell "acts" at any given press conference, Government shutting down or reopening, Korea, AT&T merger, x, y, z... blah bla-blah. BTW- Re: China trade deals may conclude soon, which could provide initial strength as the deals are being put together and finalized. This could spike price up initially. But I am still of the camp that, "buy the hype sell the news" is prevalent human psychology. When an Unknown becomes a Known, the mystery is taken out of the market, and the only thing left to do is sell. Be careful of that one.
BTW- Fed and Trump are enemies.. Remember that.
Technicals
The tops that were put in during September, printed an RSI level that had only been achieved 3 other times in the history of the stock market, one of which was just before the great depression crash, the other two, strangely enough, were actually quite uneventful: 1929, 1955, 1996.
We have bearish divergences on the 4-hour chart: this officially happened today and started Feb 25th.
We have volume steadily decreasing since the inception of this bounce, still showing us the signature of indecision & reversal, as price goes higher on decreasing volume.
Our weekly stochastic is in the oversold area, I should have been watching this indicator more in the recent past, as opposed to the daily stochastic.
We have a nice clear ascending wedge in the white wedge pattern; we have finally broken this pattern.
Our Next horizontal support is at 275 its break if you missed the top and want to wait for confirmation then that is a level to consider
Candle: today we are creating a bearish engulfing candle: typically reversal
The above trades had very clear technical confluence and great places to manage risk off of. They have been my bigs trades up until this point, and have been majorly successful. This is number 3 on the chart because it is the 3rd BIG trade to take. As with the other trades, the importance of this area can only be seen as significant once enough time has passed as well as your opportunity.

In the past 6 months of watching these markets closely, I had identified and posted some very high-quality trades listed on this chart, represented by 1 & 2 on the chart and linked below respectively.

As with the other trades, the importance of this area can only be seen as significant once enough time has passed as well as your opportunity.
The idea is this: we could be looking at the first bear market rally of this new bear market, which would essentially make "whatever area it tops at" the last high before a market crash/bear market. The technicals I am using today are more about market cycles and their behavior more than a certain trade set up. Since we are breaking down out of support @278.65 we could assume that a "local" top has been put in. We cannot say for certain if it is the ultimate top for the next few years or not as that requires a crystal ball. But I would say that the probabilities are highly stacked in favor of this being just that. The final top of a long arduous bear crash, with stops set just above these highs to manage your risk. If my final target at 157 is hit then this trade would have a risk to reward of 1:22 (1.8% Risk for 44% Gain). If you are using long term SQQQ options then the expected profit will be around 20x of your account from here to the final destination. If you want to close out of any shorter term contracts at our double bottom (235) in approx 3 months for a 5x on your account, then that could be wise. Then you would wait for that level to rebreak before reentry. After 235 breaks eventually we will look to close some positions within the 2015-2017 consolidation levels 212-185. From our current levels, if we get above 282 then you can close out of your short positions with a minimal loss, and look for a reentry higher possibly 286. If we break the all-time highs at 294 and live above them for a few weeks to a month, then we can assume that the bear market will not ensue and that I was in fact terribly wrong on this enormous trade plan.
It's as easy as 1, 2, 3.

We can see that price action and volatility has slowed way down, proving to be very difficult for the price to get above that 282 high. This looks like its ready to start to crumble. Once it starts it should be a bit of a snowball effect down, picking up momentum and speed as it rolls over.
Comment:
* Potential "h" rollover down ... Or watch for a break up of the white resistance for risk management

It looks like we Got the "h" rollover as predicted, yesterday. The next impulse should be a break of its lows at 277
