NVDA Earnings, US GDP, US Core PCE - August Wrap-UpAs if Jackson Hole noise wasn't enough, sprinkle in some additional major news
for this week.
NVDA Earnings (After Close Wednesday)
US GDP (Thursday)
US Unemployment Claims (Thursday)
US PCE / US Core PCE (Friday)
NVDA at nearly 8% market cap for S&P can certainly move the market
Look at NVDA, MAGS, SPY, QQQ and they all look like 50/50 charts - price could
go either direction
NVDA expecting +/- 11.00 points on the week, average earnings move is around 12.66 points
I'm looking to fade any big gap on NVDA into September monthly and quarterly expirations with low risk options trades and I'm also deleveraging some of my naked puts and ratio spreads
to take profits and add more buying power for the end of year
I'll be watching - let's see how everything shakes out

Powell Delivers at Jackson Hole - NVDA and PCE Up NextNearly a 200% ATR move today in the S&P
SPY didn't close beyond all-time highs
QQQ didn't close beyond all-time highs
DIA did close above all-time highs
IWM continues its strong rally for August
I'm noticing some serious rotation into small cap, mid cap, and seeing the markets allocate
outside of Mag7, Tech, and AI
Powell all but guaranteed a September rate cut and the market loved it - yet prices aren't necessarily higher (yet). I still think the Aug-Oct window is ripe for a small correction and pullback to offer up better positioning for end of year
NVDA Earnings next week Wednesday
US PCE and Core PCE Friday to close out the month
I'm curious if the SPX 6500 resistance level will continue to hold firm - let's see
Thanks for watching!!!
SPY | Leap of Doom?SPY just jumped...
The wrong way up!
To sustain you must conserve. To climb up a hill, you need energy, resources like food and water. The energy they give you far out-weighs their absolute mass. Therefore it makes sense for you to carry them.
And they have taken you very far...
But now you have run out of energy.
Price growth needs transaction volume to have strength and meaning.
You are too light(headed) to realize that moving further up is a dead-end.
THIS IS NOT SOMETHING SMALL.
SPY is one of the largest Funds in the world. A first-ever major violation of volume trend, in such a big index, must not be ignored. Imagine what is happening underneath...
Look at some examples:
NVDA
The most massive of companies, has a multi-year issue with volume.
MSFT
Unlike its first growth, Microsoft has a tremendous loss of strength in volume metrics.
Such long-term drop in volume means that companies offload real stocks for cheap futures .
We witness the same with Bitcoin...
And gold...
Not quite doomed yet, but troublesome still.
TSLA
Tesla with their shiny and financially pointless cars, has made a pointless growth. Just like many stocks as you will soon realize.
AAPL
The masses, even though their name suggests that they have some matter, in reality they don't. 10% of people have 90% of wealth. Investors have long left Apple, leaving the hoard inside to bubble up the dream.
There is more and more proof that the Fab5 (well the Fab500 as we can see from SPY/SPX) are replacing stocks with derivatives. Real money replaced by weapons of mass destruction, just like Warren Buffett said.
Good luck to us all...
PS. Something irrelevant to stocks, but relevant to the fundamentals of investing in AAPL.
Judging by the recent UI decisions, they trapped the users in bubbles and they are unable to see the truth. Brilliantly, they changed the name of soap bubbles to liquid glass. (bubbles are shiny, crystals are rough).
As a long-time Apple user, now not much of an Apple lover, I know quite well the changing philosophy of them. iPhone (and all products) began as a phone for the "smart" ones and ended up the No1 desire for the masses.
After a decade, I have switched to Fedora Silverblue for 90% of my leisure.
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.
Nightly $SPY / $SPX Scenarios for Friday, August 22, 2025🔮 Nightly AMEX:SPY / SP:SPX Scenarios for Friday, August 22, 2025 🔮
🌍 Market-Moving News
Powell’s Jackson Hole keynote is the main event (10:00 AM ET). Markets want clarity on the path to cuts and any framework tweaks; the Fed’s own calendar lists the speech and KC Fed confirms the Aug 21–23 agenda. $SPY/$TLT/ TVC:DXY are the most sensitive.
Risk tone turned cautious into the speech. Stocks faded Thursday as traders de-risked ahead of Powell; positioning is tight and headline-sensitive.
Dollar firm / gold steady into Jackson Hole. Classic pre-keynote safety bid; futures price a high probability of a September cut, keeping two-way risk for rates and equities.
Global cues: Japan CPI lands overnight; UK retail sales postponed. Japan’s July inflation print hits before U.S. cash open; the U.K.’s July retail sales were pushed to Sep 5, trimming one macro catalyst from the tape.
📊 Key Data & Events (ET)
10:00 AM — Fed Chair Powell @ Jackson Hole (Keynote). Why it matters: Sets near-term curve path and risk appetite; watch $TLT/ TVC:TNX and TVC:DXY → AMEX:SPY reaction.
1:00 PM — Baker Hughes U.S. Rig Count. Why it matters: Energy activity → supply expectations → $CL_F/ AMEX:XLE ; persistent rig drift can nudge inflation expectations. (Released weekly at noon CT/1 PM ET.)
Overnight — Japan CPI (Jul). Why it matters: Yen rates and global FX spillovers; a surprise could ripple into U.S. risk before the keynote.
All day — Jackson Hole Symposium continues. Why it matters: Secondary speakers can color post-Powell reaction as positioning resets.

S&P 500 (ES1!) : Time For A Pullback From The Highs?In this video, we will analyze the following FX market for the week of Aug 18 - 22nd:
S&P 500 (ES1!)
The S&P 500 hit ATHs again last week, but the last three trading days were narrow in range. Friday was a bearish close.
There is an untested Weekly and Monthly +FVG that price would potentially rebalance before going higher.
I believe this will be the draw on liquidity next week.
Enjoy!
May profits be upon you.

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.

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.
Get some.

SHORT | SPYAMEX:SPY
SPY Daily – Bearish Setup Developing
Trend Structure
SPY recently printed a Higher High near 646 but failed to hold momentum.
Current structure remains bullish overall, but the short-term is weakening.
A break below 627 would put the Higher Low sequence at risk.
EMA Context
Price rejected under the 9 EMA, signaling short-term weakness.
The 35 EMA around 629–630 is the first key support.
The 100 EMA near 607 aligns with demand/FVG zones and represents a major inflection.
Targets
TP1: 633.77
TP2: 627.04
Invalidation
A daily close above 646 would negate the bearish bias and re-open upside continuation.
Bias
Short-term bearish, expecting tests of 633.77 and 627.04.
If 627 breaks, next levels are 614–607.

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!
