Down came rain and washed the SPY-der out...

AMEX:SPY   SPDR S&P 500 ETF TRUST
Reference to the the just posted NASDAQ analysis; and in this analysis, the TD Sequential is switched on for a slightly new perspective, one that had been posted over the week on the hourly SPY chart. Now, you get to see it in the longer term chart and observe how fractal it can be.

The weekly SPY chart had a "Stick Sandwich" that looks more like a Bearish Engulfing IMHO. The difference here is that the SPY covers more than technology stocks (despite technology stocks taking up a lot of the S&P500 market cap). Technical indicators are similarly divergent, MACD bearish, RPM somewhat bullish. The TD Sequential (Buy) Setup is forming midway, just below the first TDST support (red dotted line), and is suggesting a bearish primary trend is forming.
What this TD Sequential pattern tells is that IF the current TD Seq Setup is to complete, then we should see the next 4-6 weeks of downside; probably fulfilling the the symmetrical projection to 325 (where the next TDST support line is).
These are the main factors that suggest more downside should be expected.

Zooming further out into the SPY monthly chart (right panel), with the TD Sequential switched on, and there is good and bad news here... The current TD Seq Setup completes in October, but in order to be Perfected, a low that is lower than 412 needs to be registered over the next 4 months; quite possibly meeting the monthly 55EMA. which is about 355 currently.
The geed news here is that on the monthly chart, the primary trend is still bullish, given the last TD Seq Setup (green box) in 2020 to March 2021. The TDST needed to turn the primary trend bearish would be a monthly close below 296.
So, at least for the rest of this year, the (monthly) primary trend is still bullish, notwithstanding that a recent lower low needs to be registered. ie. still downside risk prevails in the shorter term over the next couple of months.

MACD and RPM technical indicators support this view.

Also noted (the yellow arrow) that last month's candle was a bearish indication with a long upper tail, Shooting Star styled pattern. Furthermore, this month's halfway completed candle is already looking bearish, as it needs to. So, you get the idea...

Overall, these suggest that the SPY should be targeting a downside somewhere between 325-355 from now to the end of 2022.
