SPX500 Market Outlook | Powell’s Jackson Hole Speech in FocusSPX500 – Overview U.S. Sectors in Spotlight Ahead of Fed’s Jackson Hole Gathering Wall Street is awaiting confirmation of a potential September interest rate cut when Fed Chair Jerome Powell speaks at the Jackson Hole symposium on Friday — a potentially pivotal event for markets, particularly for rate-sensitive sectors. This year’s gathering comes after a week of mixed inflation data, as consumer and wholesale price reports gave conflicting signals on how well the U.S. economy is handling President Trump’s import tariffs, complicating the Fed’s policy outlook. After cutting rates by 50 bps in September 2024 and 25 bps in both November and December, the Fed has since held steady. Rising expectations of another cut next month have buoyed homebuilders, banks, and retailers, though a hawkish surprise from Powell could weigh on these sectors. 🔎 Technical Outlook Bearish Scenario: As long as price trades below 6389, downside pressure remains, targeting 6366 and, if broken, extending toward 6321. Bullish Scenario: A confirmed 1H/4H close above 6389 would open the way toward 6406 – 6425, with a stronger push possible toward 6468. 📍 Key Levels Pivot: 6389 Support: 6366 – 6341 – 6321 Resistance: 6406 – 6425 – 6468 ⚠️ Expect heightened volatility during Powell’s Jackson Hole speech — risk management is essential.

ES Futures — Plan for Fri, Aug 22 Intraday trend on 15m/30m remains down. The 6,396–6,407 band is the pivot/decision zone. Tomorrow’s session is dominated by Powell’s Jackson Hole keynote (10:00 ET) — plan around it. Fundamentals & Risk Clock (ET) • 10:00 — Fed Chair Powell speaks at the Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium. Treat this as the day’s primary catalyst; no new entries 09:55–10:05 per risk rules.   • Otherwise, the U.S. calendar is relatively light vs. today’s prints; markets will key off the Powell tone and subsequent positioning.   Structure Map (carry-forward levels) Resistance / sell zones • 6,396–6,407 (pivot/decision band) – acceptance above flips bias; failure sends us back inside the range. • 6,412 → 6,418 – first upside magnets if the pivot breaks. • 6,433–6,436 – underside of prior distribution (primary cap). • 6,445–6,447 – secondary cap. • 6,469–6,471 & 6,476 – upper supply/“failure” lines. Support / buy zones • 6,392–6,388 – LVN pocket; moves often accelerate through here. • 6,386–6,382 – upper demand shelf. • 6,375–6,370 – NY low cluster/first demand band. • 6,366 → 6,357–6,352 – deeper HTF shelf if weakness extends. Preferred Setup (A++): Range-Continuation Short Take only with confirmation; score ≥9. • Trigger: First 5-minute close ≤ 6,390.5 after a failed probe of 6,396–6,407, and the next bar fails to reclaim 6,392–6,394. • Entry: 6,390.5 (MOS). • Stop: 6,396.5 (≈6 pts). • Targets: • TP1: 6,375.5 (+15) • TP2: 6,366.0 (+24) • TP3: 6,358.0 (+32) • Management: Scale ½ at TP1; move stop → BE only after a fresh 5m lower-low or a clean close through the TP1 zone. If no extension within 2×5m bars, cut to half/scratch. • Disqualifiers: Thick support immediately stacks under entry or a 15m acceptance back above 6,396–6,407. Flip Setup (A++ if accepted): Acceptance Long above Pivot Counter-trend unless 15m turns; size accordingly. • Trigger: First 5-minute close ≥ 6,407.5 and the next bar does not reclaim < 6,405. • Entry: 6,407.5 (MOS). • Stop: 6,401.5 (≈6 pts). • Targets: • TP1: 6,418.0 (+10.5 from trigger; acceptable given clean path) • TP2: 6,435.0 (+27.5) • TP3: trail toward 6,446+ if momentum persists. • Disqualifier: Quick slip back < 6,405 after trigger. Timing & Playbook • Primary trade windows: 09:45–11:30 ET and 13:50–15:45 ET. • Powell (10:00 ET): Plan around the speech; entries before the print must have exceptional quality, otherwise wait for post-event structure. • MOC module (15:40–16:10 ET): Use the imbalance as a tiebreaker: modest (<$0.5B) = range; strong (≥$1B) can drive a directional push into the cross.

Powell’s Jackson Hole speech: Key risks for SPX, DXY, and goldTraders are watching and waiting for Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium. The baseline expectation is that Powell will avoid committing to any move at the September meeting. Instead, he is likely to repeat that decisions will depend on the full set of economic data released between now and then. If Powell were to even weakly signal a rate cut in September, the S&P 500 could rally. However, the reaction may be limited since markets are already pricing in a high probability of easing. According to CME’s FedWatch tool, traders see a 71% chance of a quarter-point cut in September. Looking beyond September, a hint of rate cuts in October, November, or December could weaken the U.S. dollar and provide support for gold.

SP500 Secondary trend. Part of the channel. Reversal zone. 2025 Logarithm. Time frame 1 month (less is not necessary). The SP500 index primarily reflects the "health" of the American stock market and the economy as a whole. This is reflected in all markets by the domino effect. Now, after a huge takeout and recovery, the price is at the maximums of the local trend that has formed, and this is also the maximum of the index as a whole for its entire 100-year existence (before displaying on the chart). 🔄 Locally, the price has run into the resistance of the median of the ascending channel (green dotted line). Now the resistance level of this zone will be formed. 🟢 A breakout of this zone upwards - an exit above the median, promises strong growth and pumping of the stock market as a whole. 🔴 And the reverse process is not a breakthrough and not a consolidation above this zone - consolidation in the range under resistance and above the dynamic support of the internal channel. An extremely negative case is a decline in the lower zone of the channel. 🧠 The chart as a whole shows the channel range itself. Including on both sides, price slippage zones (low probability), as well as key support / resistance levels of this secondary trend that exist, and those that will be formed in the future, but will be key for the development of the trend. This can be an addition to the analysis and formation of tactics and money management in other markets, including cryptocurrency.

Are Longterm Interest Rates Telling Us Something?I rarely cite financial news in my market updates. My reasoning is simple: all perspectives, bullish or bearish, are ultimately reflected in price action. That price action forms patterns, and those patterns can be analyzed to produce reasonable forecasts. After years of applying Elliott Wave theory, this approach has consistently stood the test of time. That said, I’ll break from tradition today, as I believe the following excerpt is particularly relevant to my latest Trading View update. It comes from Barbara Kollmeyer’s article, “There’s a slow-motion crisis in bonds — and this bearish strategist thinks it will hit stocks.” For context, I regularly track multiple market indices, futures contracts, single stocks, and notably, the yield on the 30-year U.S. Treasury Bond. For the past year, I’ve highlighted the counterintuitive rise in long-term yields that ironically began when the Fed started cutting its benchmark rate in September 2024. While brief divergences between long-term yields and Fed policy aren’t unusual, this persistent uptrend is different. The yield has been carving out a clear pattern of higher highs and higher lows, appearing now on the verge of a breakout—not just toward incremental new highs, but potentially into a runaway scenario for long-term rates. This is why Albert Edwards’ recent comments caught my attention: “There is a slow-motion crisis unfolding in the government bond markets that equity investors continue to ignore at their peril. The upward grind for long bond yields has been relentless, yet investors keep ignoring that to focus instead on more bullish metrics such as the latest reporting season driven by the mega-cap IT stocks, that promises a pot of gold at the end of the AI rainbow.” His perspective resonated with me. Having lived through the dot-com boom and bust, I recall how new technologies can fuel outsized market optimism. AI undoubtedly carries transformational potential, much like the Internet. But just as it took nearly two decades for the Internet to fully translate from speculative boom to tangible economic value, AI’s payoff will likely follow a similarly extended trajectory. It’s not an immediate catalyst. What I am certain of is this: the cost of long-term money is rising, with implications far beyond bond charts. Higher yields directly affect mortgage rates and other long-term financing costs. More importantly, sustained upward pressure in long-term rates has the potential to weigh heavily on equities, broader markets, and asset valuations for far longer than many currently expect.

S&P dip buying opportunity supported at 6340US equities staged a sharp intraday rebound, with the S&P 500 recovering from losses of over -1% to close down just -0.24%. Tech remained under pressure (NASDAQ -0.67%, Mag-7 -1.11%), weighed by reports questioning the near-term profitability of AI adoption, though DB research stressed that productivity gains are still likely longer term. Gains in energy (+0.86%) and other cyclical sectors helped offset the tech weakness as Brent crude rose +1.6% to $66.84/bbl. Geopolitical headlines around Ukraine and potential security arrangements kept risk sentiment cautious. Conclusion: Despite renewed tech volatility, the S&P’s resilience and sectoral rotation suggest dip-buying interest remains intact, but with near-term upside likely capped until tech stabilises. Key Support and Resistance Levels Resistance Level 1: 6433 Resistance Level 2: 6466 Resistance Level 3: 6500 Support Level 1: 6340 Support Level 2: 6310 Support Level 3: 6280 This communication is for informational purposes only and should not be viewed as any form of recommendation as to a particular course of action or as investment advice.

SPX500 Market Outlook | Fed Meeting & Retail Earnings in FocusSPX500 Overview Wall Street subdued as retail earnings and Fed meeting remain in focus U.S. stock index futures edged lower on Wednesday, extending a tech-led pullback on Wall Street. Investors are closely monitoring earnings from major retailers such as Target and Lowe’s, seen as key indicators of consumer health, while awaiting the upcoming Federal Reserve symposium later this week. Concerns over tariffs and their potential impact on consumer prices have weighed on sentiment, adding to the cautious market tone. 🔎 Technical Outlook The SPX500 remains under bearish pressure after stabilizing below the pivot line at 6425. Bearish Scenario: As long as price trades below 6425, the trend favors the downside, targeting 6389 and 6366. A confirmed break of 6366 could accelerate the decline toward 6321. Bullish Scenario: A sustained 4H candle close above 6425 would shift momentum back to the upside, with resistance at 6439, followed by 6468 and 6485. Support: 6389, 6366, 6341, 6321 Resistance: 6439, 6468, 6485

Is this the top? SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade Update For 8-20I know it has been a while since I shared a video. This video is designed to share the downside risks I see as a potential for the markets IF this big speculative phase unwinds like I think. Ultimately, you guys are the ones who will be making the trading decisions. I just want you to be aware that the markets are extremely volatile right now and the data is pointing to a very clean Excess Phase Peak (EPP) pattern. As you are all aware, the EPP pattern suggests that a breakdown in price is likely where price may attempt to target the FLAG LOW. If that happens, be prepared for a -15% to -20% breakdown in price before the end of 2025 - possibly seeing an even bigger price collapse. In my opinion, this breakdown is the result of a broad unwinding of excesses related to the Biden economy (free money) and a move towards more reasonable US economic policies. Overall, this pullback is necessary for the Wave 1 of Wave 5 structure to complete. Once this pullback is complete, the bigger rally phase (Wave 3 of Wave 5) will begin. And get ready for a big rally phase with Wave 3. So, I hope this video helps you learn how to identify and plan for some of the biggest price swings in the SPY/QQQ, and prepare for even bigger moves in Gold/Silver and Bitcoin.

SPY – No hocus-pocus – Now the witch is hunting the bullsHappy Hump-Day y'all! In the last post (see linked chart), I explained what the witch sees in the future. A possible scenario that is long overdue: the markets are letting out air. With the candles from yesterday and the day before, we have confirmation that the S&P 500 is heading south. That has consequences that not many want to see right now. The bulls will be overrun, panic selling will kick in and drive the markets into the ground even faster. The current profit target is still the Centerline, as marked with the red arrow. Whoever doesn’t cash in at least 50% of their gains now will end up in the witch’s cauldron §8-) Let’s see how this develops. The YT Video will be up tomorrow - gotta feed the witches cat §8-) May the broom be with you!

S&P 500 Shows Early Signs of Momentum Loss Ahead of Jackson HoleThe S&P 500 has begun to show signs of momentum loss ahead of the Jackson Hole meeting. The number of member stocks trading above their 200-day moving average has not increased, even as the index made new highs. RSI is showing a negative divergence, and the index has slipped below its short-term yellow trendline. In addition, crypto markets sold off early Monday, and the VIX opened the week with a gap higher, moving above its short-term downtrend. These are still only early signals and not yet concrete confirmation, but traders should be cautious of potential profit-taking ahead of Jackson Hole, where Powell may push back against expectations for rapid rate cuts.

S 08/20 — Short bias below, Key Levels (watch FOMC minutes)Overview Higher-timeframe trend has shifted lower. After failing at ~6,476, price broke the 6,446 shelf and printed a new low near 6,419 with expanding volume. As long as we remain below 6,463, I keep a short bias and will fade bounces into supply. Key Levels • Line-in-the-sand: 6,463 • Resistance / Sell zones: 6,433–6,436, 6,445–6,447, 6,469–6,471, 6,476 • Supports / downside magnets: 6,419–6,418, 6,406–6,403, 6,392–6,388, 6,382–6,376 Primary Plan — Bearish continuation • Prefer selling failed retests into 6,433–6,436 or 6,445–6,447. • Targets: first back to 6,419–6,418, then 6,406–6,403, and if momentum persists 6,392–6,388 / 6,382–6,376. • Confirmation I want to see: intraday rejection wicks at the zone, momentum rolling over, and sellers stepping back in. Alternative — Breakdown • If price accepts below 6,418, I’ll look for continuation toward 6,403, then 6,392 / 6,376. Invalidation / Neutralization • Reclaiming 6,463 neutralizes the immediate short bias. • Acceptance ≥ 6,471–6,476 opens squeeze risk toward 6,491 / 6,500; I’d stand aside on shorts until structure turns back down. Event Risk (ET) — Wed 08/20 • 07:00 MBA Mortgage Applications • 10:30 EIA Weekly Petroleum Status Report • 13:00 U.S. 20-Year Treasury Auction • 14:00 FOMC Minutes (Jul meeting) Note: Expect headline-driven volatility around 14:00—I avoid initiating new positions into the release. Posting Notes This idea reflects levels visible on 1D/4H/1H (with 30m/15m for execution). I’ll update intraday if acceptance/rejection flips at the zones.

US500 – Has the Correction Started?1. What Happened Yesterday Yesterday, US500 dropped around 1%, signaling that a meaningful correction could be starting. Unlike Nasdaq, which already broke under two key support levels, here the price is still above the trendline that began back at the end of May, when the index broke through the important 5800 resistance. The rise since April has been huge and not fundamentally justified, making the index vulnerable to a reversal towards more sustainable levels. ________________________________________ 2. Key Question Has the correction really started, or will we first see another spike before the drop? ________________________________________ 3. Why More Downside is Likely • Trendline vulnerability: A break under 6380 could trigger acceleration to the downside. • First bear target: 6100, the old ATH. • Bigger picture: A move under 6000 remains likely, with 5800 as a longer-term destination. • Risk/reward setup: Any spike higher should be seen as a selling opportunity. Around 6500 would be ideal to short. ________________________________________ 4. Trading Plan • Sell spikes, especially near 6500). • Watch 6380 – break here could open the way towards 6100. • Medium/long term bias: Bearish, with more room down than up. ________________________________________ 5. Final Note 🚀 The market must confirm, but the strategy is clear: don’t chase the bounce, sell the strength and ride the correction.

Why The Bubble Theory Makes No SenseIt seems like every other week with tech stocks making new all time highs, there is a constant chatter of claiming we're in a bubble. One of the classic signs of a bubble, is excessive leverage betting on ever higher returns. This is a chart of securities margin loans provided by the Fed updated quarterly. As you can see since the 2008 financial crisis speculators have been very conservative with their use of leverage. It's almost like 2008 scared people so badly people more than a decade later are still behaving financially conservative. Some of the rational for the talk of a bubble is historically high PE ratios, but this can be explained by massive reinvestments into AI infrastructure by the biggest tech companies. The more investments they make the higher the PE ratios look. The key ingredient of a bubble is leverage and besides the small spike of it post-covid, there is no sign of excessive speculation. Remember tech stocks are absolutely going to have a pullback likely next year or 2027, but the fear of a dot-com era bubble is just simply unfounded.
