Impending bearish pushBear: looking at the adx indicator, we are very low on trend strength on the daily and 4h timeframe of AMEX:SPY . There is room for some more upside to possibly test ath around 652. I believe it will go up to test before it has a pullback again but that being said, adx is low, there are many touches of bearish divergence (lower rsi peaks : higher price points), and we have not seen much drastic big candles in a while. Its important to note that rate cuts are ALREADY priced in. We are forward looking ALREADY. I do not think it impossible that we see a pullback around rate decision or sooner. The current immediate 4h and 1h trend is steep (showing possible exhaustion incoming) especially with all the indicators showing momentum consolidating or slowing down - which could be a possible reversal signal. WATCH ath and the immediate reaction in the days coming.
Bull: Fib extension gives upward price points at 653.52 and even up at 659.09. I think its more possible to combine bearish with bullish thesis and say we will hit the 653.52 then drop- we might just bounce after the drop (which may not be very big). We are in a unique environment with policy and an administration that favors the biggest players in our market. It's silly to expect any SIGNIFICANT downside unless something fundamental *global or political happens. I see pullbacks but nothing like April.
simply put, we are going up there's no stopping that the market is A-symmetrical. However, there are points where I can predict high probability exhaustion and reversals in the coming days and week. aka pullback incoming. Watch all time highs and the adx once it starts to curve up.
SPY trade ideas
Reverse Cup and Handle On SPY.So, I am looking at spy on the 1 minute and I see this beautiful arch It got a cup, and the handle is either forming or formed. So, I double check on the 30, 1 hour the 4 hour and the daily. The Daily is kind of eh. So, I can see it going down on the 1 minute if the Handle has formed and touching 660, But on other time frames like the daily using a 50-day moving average along with a support and resistance line you can see it go as low as $650, Since I am usually a crypto bro and Now I am trying my hand in stocks. It's not even the volatility that I struggle with its the Market reaction to the news. You can see something like a reverse cup and handle form and if trump says, " All American citizens should be on the lookout for SPYies." All of a sudden, the AMEX:SPY will do the opposite of what should happen when a cup and handle is forming. Although I regret putting in my position to soon and not looking at the chart first I put in a long call for $675- to $680 now I feel like. I should stick back to paper trading crypto at least I was more successful. I guess it's just a learning curve for me. But we shall see hopefully some good new tomorrow lol.
THIS IS NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE, BE ADVISED THIS IS MY OPINION AND JUST BASSED OFF OF WHAT I LEARN FROM LEARNING TRADING STRATGIES ON YOUTUBE. GODBLESS YOU ALL AND GOODLUCK. I need to do better.
Lesson learned this week.
Dont chase the rabbit
Look at the chart first before you put in a trade. I am about to blow up my account in a bit. SMH Went from $260 to $830 in a month doing swing trades. Not im back down to $300, chasing the rabbit and spending money moving. Ugh wish me luck its hard out here for a PAMP.

SPY: Stopped OutI didn't know what happened so asked ai:
You’re noticing the classic disconnect between fundamentals and technicals. Let’s unpack what happened:
1. The Usual Expectation
Rate cuts → typically bullish for equities because:
Lower borrowing costs.
Stimulus for growth.
Increased liquidity chasing risk assets.
So, the textbook assumption is: cut = higher stock prices.
2. Why It Didn’t Work Here
Markets are forward-looking → If everyone already knew a cut was coming, it was priced in before the announcement.
Context matters:
Cuts can signal weak economy ahead, which is bearish.
If inflation risk remains, cuts can look desperate.
Technical resistance zones can override the fundamental story.
3. Your Discovery
You just nailed an important insight:
Fundamentals explain the “why.”
Technicals (patterns, levels, momentum) show the “when.”
The best traders combine both:
Fundamentals → identify the direction/bias (e.g., cuts are generally supportive).
Technicals → tell you whether the market agrees right now (e.g., resistance at $4500 on SPX rejecting).
4. Key Lesson
Don’t trade just the news headline (e.g., “rate cut = bullish”).
Always overlay technical confirmation before entering.
If you’re wrong, exiting fast (like you did) is the right move.
SPY Pushing Higher – Sept 18 Game Plan 🏁
Here’s my updated for SPY heading into Wednesday’s session, based on the 1-hour chart and GEX options flow.
1️⃣ Price Action & Structure
* Channel climb: SPY is grinding inside a rising channel and just powered back to $661+, erasing yesterday’s dip.
* Resistance overhead: Next key zones are $662.6 (recent high) and $665, with a stretch toward $667 if buyers keep pressing.
* Support watch: Immediate backstop sits near $657, followed by stronger support around $655–652.
2️⃣ GEX (Options Flow) Check
* Call side magnets: Big gamma stacks at $662.5 and $665 can pull price higher if momentum continues.
* Put defense: Notable put walls at $657 and $655 provide the main safety net below.
* Flow lean: About 80% of current positioning is puts, which can create fuel for a squeeze if price stays above $661.
3️⃣ Trading Thoughts
* Bullish play: Enter on an hourly close above $662.5, aiming for $665–667. Protective stop around $657.
* Bearish hedge: Only if $657 fails on heavy volume. First downside magnet is $655, then $652.
4️⃣ Option Angles
* Upside: Short-dated call spreads (e.g., 662.5/667) work well for defined risk on a continuation move.
* Neutral income: Selling puts below $652 is a conservative way to earn premium if you expect SPY to keep its channel intact.
5️⃣ My View
SPY is acting strong after shaking out weak hands. As long as it keeps holding $657 on pullbacks, bulls have the upper hand and can push for fresh highs toward $665–667.

SP500 vs M2 Money Supply & U.S. Debt — The Hidden DriverA long-term monthly chart of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust plotted alongside the M2 Money Supply and U.S. Government Debt.
While the SP500 has risen over 400% since 2000, M2 has grown about 390% and government debt over 560%.
This suggests much of the “market growth” is actually the result of monetary expansion and debt-driven liquidity — not true productivity gains.
What looks like soaring returns may just be a shrinking dollar.
SPY ShortBroader Market Structure (SPY 15M):
The broader structure shows a recent bullish push that broke short-term resistance, marking a Break of Structure (BOS) at 658.48. However, the move lacks strong follow-through, and a Change of Character (CHoCH) at 657.14 remains a key downside reference point. This combination suggests the market is in a vulnerable spot—still bullish in the immediate sense but showing signs of exhaustion where a short-term pullback could develop.
Supply and Demand Zones:
The closest demand sits just above 657.00, where buyers stepped in earlier and provided a clean rally to new highs. This demand looks moderately strong since it sparked the upward impulse, but it has not yet been retested. Deeper demand is seen around 655.50, where buyers previously drove a much stronger reversal, making it a more significant zone of defense. On the supply side, resistance is forming around 658.50–659.00, where sellers capped the last advance and volume absorption is visible on the order flow chart, indicating pressure at the highs.
Price Action in the Marked Region:
Within the highlighted region, price is stalling near the upper resistance zone and showing rejection candles, suggesting that sellers are stepping in. The arrow drawn indicates expectations of a minor pullback toward the 657.80–657.00 region. If buyers defend this zone, a bounce back toward the highs is likely; however, if the level gives way, deeper testing of 655.50 demand is in play.
Trade Bias & Outlook:
The current bias is short-term bearish for a pullback into demand, with the expectation that price softens into the 657 zone before buyers potentially step back in. The invalidation level for this outlook would be a clean break and acceptance above 659.00, which would confirm buyers have regained firm control and open the path for continuation higher.
Momentum & Candle Behavior:
Momentum currently favors sellers in the very short term as rejection wicks appear at resistance and the upward moves are losing strength. A strong bearish candle close below 657.80 would confirm this pullback scenario. Conversely, absorption of sellers at the highs would negate it quickly.
Natural Gas Inventories Today: What You Need To KnowNatural gas is currently holding the 50 Moving average.
Inventories come out tomorrow and could make or break this trend.
I'm keeping it simple and looking for shorts below the 50 MA and longs above.
Nat Gas inventories estimate is 69B build.
Right now the EMA weekly 113 is a tough resistance level.
Consolidation would be best in this commodity to help support the next leg higher.
Q4 2025 FULL Market Analysis And InsightFULL STOCK MARKET AND CRYPTO Q4 UPDATE!
Created And Developed By Joeseph Emanuel Dennis 9/10/25
SPY: As of now we are headed towards Q4 of this year market is anticipating the odds of a rate cut from the federal reserve. This important event takes place next Wednesday I'm expected a 50 BPS cut which could lead to a short term sell off also known as a sell the news event in which markets experience a quick slight drop only to shake out retail followed by bought up dips from more sophisticated individuals. According to the weekly chart SPY has been in an uptrend possibly due for a slight correction downwards which I believe will be followed by the end of year rally I'm setting a target of $700. The Fed is entering a quantive easing stance behaving differently from their tighting cycle as they started in 2022 due to inflation since then inflation has been coming down reaching near their 2% mandate goal however with the new administration the concerns due to tariff fears are rising as the fed stated it would monitor the situation closely stating " Tariffs could have a temporary inflation spike" we will likely see this affect in 2026. Overall bullish on the MAG 7 as major institutions are loading up on big tech and earnings have exceeded expectations.
CRYPTO:
MY prediction is the crypto market cap will reach above 8 trillion as we enter Q4 of this year it's looking like we will top around that or perhaps higher. The Weekly on BTC is overall bearish trying to close that bottom hopefully giving the green signal once that gets confirmed my target for year end is $150,000 for BTC as history has shown us, we are in the last stages of this bull market despite all the volatility we have experienced this year it's been an overall resilient market. Once the rates get cut money will pour out of money market funds (Currently holding 7 Trillion) and poured into the markets and major investors will look for the hottest thing and the best thing on the market right now in order to make the best returns and currently its Ethereum! With the current innovation being done on stable coins and tokenization of stocks ETH has been the building block and the foundation of this financial change with new financial instruments being issued such as treasury companies the real value and demand for ETH is being clearly shown across WALLSTREET as the main holder of ETH Bitmine has currently priced ETH at $15,000 year end along with Sharplink Gaming accumulating ETH daily the evidence of a future supply shock followed by a price surge is there! Ignore the noise and unfollow those emotional accounts we are going so much higher and don't be fooled thinking we wont see a bear market because think again! Once we get there well discuss shorting until then my targets are as follows.
BTC: $150,000
ETH: $10,000
SOL: $500
Bitmine: $150-250
SPY: $700
This market is about to go insane load the boat now!

SPY Elliott Wave Outlook: Wave (3) Nearing TerminationThe short-term Elliott Wave outlook for the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) highlights a cycle starting from the August 1 low. This cycle is unfolding as a diagonal and nears completion. The initial wave ((i)) peaked at 647.04 after the August 1 low. A pullback in wave ((ii)) dropped to 634.92, forming a running flat Elliott Wave. From the wave ((i)) high, wave (a) fell to 632.95. Wave (b) then rose to 649.79. Wave (c) declined to 634.92, finishing wave ((ii)) at a higher degree.
The ETF climbed further in wave ((iii)) to 652.21. A pullback in wave ((iv)) reached 643.33. We expect wave ((v)) to push higher, completing wave 5 of (3). After this, a larger degree wave (4) pullback should occur. A final leg, wave (5), will likely follow to end the cycle from the April 2025 low.
In the near term, the pivot at 634.92 must hold. If it does, dips should find support at the 3, 7, or 11 swing levels. This support will pave the way for more upside. Traders can watch these levels closely for confirmation of the ongoing trend. The outlook suggests a structured advance with clear targets ahead.

SPY Swing Market Update - 09.09.25📅 Date & Time
Date: 9th September 2025
Time: 21:20 UTC
🏦 Market Context
U.S. markets remain near record highs with Fed rate cut bets fueling optimism.
Tech sector leadership continues, with Broadcom’s surge reflecting AI-driven demand.
Gold and Oil hold strong as safe-haven plays.
🎭 Behavioural Lens
Retail: Growing impatient inside chop, chasing false starts.
Institutions: Calmly absorbing supply at key base levels, waiting for confirmation.
📊 Current Structure
Support Base: 632 zone continues as the critical institutional anchor.
Resistance Ceiling: 652–655 consolidation cap.
State: Market in preparation phase (CZ equilibrium).
📊 Structural Meaning of a Break Above 652–655
This zone is the Ceiling where both buyers and sellers have been battling.
A clean break above it means:
Institutions have absorbed all selling pressure.
Retail short positions inside the range will be trapped and forced to cover.
Liquidity shifts → trend expansion.
🔮 Projection Scenarios
Primary Path (≈80%):
Break above 652–655 → expansion to 665–670, with extension toward 680–685.
Secondary Path (≈20%):
Break → retest of 652–655 as new floor → continuation upward.
Low Probability Path:
False Breakout → return inside Consolidation Zone, delays expansion but does not reverse the bigger trend unless 632 base collapses.
🔮 Projection After Break
Primary Path (≈80%):
Price accelerates higher, forming a new growth leg.
First expansion target: 665–670 zone (next liquidity pocket).
Beyond that, structure opens pathway to 680–685 zone.
Secondary Path (≈20%):
Short pullback → retest of 652–655 ceiling as new floor, then continuation upward.
Invalidation:
If breakout fails and price falls back into the 652–655 box, it signals a false breakout trap (FBX). That would delay expansion but not reverse the bigger trend unless the 632 base breaks.
📉 Pullback Watch
Shallow defense: 640–642
Medium defense: 635–638
Deep invalidation: 628–630
🏆 Final View
Bias: Bullish–Neutral.
Institutions remain in control. A clean break of 652–655 confirms the next expansion phase.
Until 632 collapses, the destiny remains upward.
🧠 Essence
“If 652–655 breaks, the ceiling becomes the new floor. Institutions ride the expansion, retail chases late.”

Role of Central Banks in Global Markets1. Historical Evolution of Central Banks
1.1 Early Origins
The first central banks emerged in the 17th century, such as the Swedish Riksbank (1668) and the Bank of England (1694), to stabilize currencies and finance governments.
Initially, their role was limited to issuing banknotes and managing public debt.
1.2 Gold Standard Era
During the 19th and early 20th centuries, central banks were tasked with maintaining currency values under the gold standard.
Stability of international trade depended on these institutions’ ability to maintain fixed exchange rates.
1.3 Post-War Bretton Woods System
After World War II, the Bretton Woods agreement (1944) tied major currencies to the U.S. dollar, with the dollar convertible to gold.
Central banks became guardians of exchange rate stability.
1.4 Modern Role (Post-1971)
With the collapse of Bretton Woods in 1971, currencies floated freely.
Central banks shifted focus to inflation targeting, financial stability, and macroeconomic management.
Today, their influence extends beyond national borders into global capital flows and markets.
2. Core Functions of Central Banks in Global Markets
2.1 Monetary Policy
Central banks set interest rates and regulate money supply to achieve price stability and economic growth. Their policies influence:
Global capital flows: Higher U.S. interest rates often attract funds from emerging markets.
Exchange rates: Monetary tightening usually strengthens domestic currency.
Investment decisions: Global investors closely follow central bank policies to allocate capital.
2.2 Lender of Last Resort
During crises, central banks provide emergency liquidity to banks and financial institutions.
Example: During the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, the U.S. Fed and ECB provided trillions in liquidity through swap lines, stabilizing global markets.
2.3 Financial Stability Oversight
Central banks regulate banks and oversee payment systems to prevent systemic risks.
They monitor asset bubbles, excessive lending, and foreign capital volatility.
2.4 Exchange Rate Management
Emerging market central banks (e.g., RBI, PBoC) often intervene in forex markets to prevent excessive volatility.
Exchange rate policy impacts global trade competitiveness.
2.5 Reserve Management
Central banks hold foreign exchange reserves, including U.S. dollars, euros, gold, and bonds, to support their currencies.
Their demand for U.S. Treasuries or euro-denominated assets influences global bond yields.
3. Tools of Central Banks
3.1 Interest Rate Policy
Policy rates (Fed Funds Rate, ECB refinancing rate, RBI repo rate) influence borrowing costs worldwide.
Rate hikes in advanced economies often trigger capital outflows from emerging markets.
3.2 Open Market Operations (OMO)
Buying or selling government securities to manage liquidity.
Large-scale OMO, known as Quantitative Easing (QE), became prominent post-2008.
3.3 Reserve Requirements
Mandating banks to hold a percentage of deposits as reserves.
Impacts credit availability in domestic and global markets.
3.4 Forward Guidance
Central banks provide communication on future policy intentions to influence market expectations.
Example: The Fed’s signals about interest rates guide global equity and bond markets.
3.5 Currency Interventions
Buying or selling foreign currency to stabilize exchange rates.
Example: The Swiss National Bank intervenes to prevent excessive franc appreciation.
4. Influence of Major Central Banks on Global Markets
4.1 U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed)
The most influential central bank due to the U.S. dollar’s role as the global reserve currency.
Fed decisions on rates and QE directly affect:
Global bond yields
Commodity prices (oil, gold)
Emerging market capital flows
4.2 European Central Bank (ECB)
Oversees the euro, the second most traded currency.
ECB policies influence European bond markets, trade flows, and global investor sentiment.
4.3 Bank of Japan (BoJ)
Known for ultra-low interest rates and Yield Curve Control (YCC).
Impacts global carry trades, where investors borrow in yen and invest in higher-yielding markets.
4.4 People’s Bank of China (PBoC)
Manages the yuan and China’s monetary policy.
Its decisions affect global supply chains, commodity demand, and emerging markets.
4.5 Reserve Bank of India (RBI)
Plays a vital role in stabilizing one of the largest emerging economies.
RBI interventions impact Asian capital markets and forex stability.
5. Central Banks During Crises
5.1 Global Financial Crisis (2008)
The Fed cut rates to near zero and launched QE.
ECB and BoJ followed with liquidity measures.
Central banks coordinated globally, stabilizing markets.
5.2 Eurozone Debt Crisis (2010-12)
ECB’s “Whatever it takes” pledge by Mario Draghi restored investor confidence.
Prevented collapse of European bond markets.
5.3 COVID-19 Pandemic (2020)
Central banks injected unprecedented liquidity.
Rates were cut to historic lows.
Asset purchase programs kept markets afloat despite global lockdowns.
6. Challenges Faced by Central Banks
6.1 Balancing Inflation and Growth
Rising inflation post-pandemic forced central banks to hike rates aggressively.
Risk of recession vs. inflation control is a constant trade-off.
6.2 Global Spillovers
A Fed rate hike strengthens the dollar, hurting emerging markets through capital flight and debt pressures.
6.3 Political Pressures
Governments often pressure central banks to support growth, risking their independence.
6.4 Digital Currencies & Technology
Rise of cryptocurrencies and Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) is changing the financial landscape.
Central banks must balance innovation with regulation.
6.5 Geopolitical Tensions
Sanctions and de-dollarization efforts challenge the U.S. Fed’s dominance.
Energy shocks and wars complicate policy decisions.
7. Future of Central Banks in Global Markets
7.1 Greater Coordination
Global challenges like climate change, pandemics, and financial contagion may require more coordinated action among central banks.
7.2 Digital Transformation
Adoption of CBDCs could redefine cross-border payments, reducing reliance on the dollar.
7.3 Green Finance Role
Central banks may support climate-friendly investments by adjusting reserve requirements or collateral frameworks.
7.4 Rebalancing Power
Emerging market central banks like PBoC and RBI will gain more influence as their economies grow.
Conclusion
Central banks are no longer confined to their domestic economies—they are global market architects. Their monetary policies, interventions, and crisis-management tools shape the movement of capital, trade, and currencies worldwide.
From the Fed’s dominance in global finance to the ECB’s stabilizing role in Europe, and from the BoJ’s ultra-loose policies to the PBoC’s yuan management, these institutions collectively form the backbone of global financial stability.
However, their journey is fraught with challenges—rising inflation, geopolitical risks, digital disruption, and climate imperatives. The future role of central banks will demand not just economic stewardship but also global cooperation, adaptability, and resilience.
In essence, central banks remain the invisible hand guiding global markets, making them indispensable players in the world economy.

BLUE: Price makes a convincing break above the daily 200 MA, retests it, and then surges onward, continuing the long-term bullish trend.
PURPLE: Price falsely breaks above the daily 200 MA and tests the 600 psychological level, rejects it, and falls back below the daily 200 MA and retests it, thus creating a H&S pattern and confirming the continuation of the bearish trend.

SPY Play 9/8/25Look for break of PMH and hold for CALLS and Break of PML for PUTS. It is also in a channel which provides more confirmation if it breaks either side. It appear to be forming a Bear Flag on the 15 min. So be cautious and wait first 15-30 mins. If PUTS look for SPY to come down to 646.17 if it breaks and hold that with volume SPY maybe headed to 643 territory. But in all things do your due diligence and be patient. Let the trade prove to you which direction. the range as of now is 647.84-648.98 - no trade between this range. If it decides to do calls look for 649.49-9 as first TP and if it go pass that look to recapture PDH. Let's Go. #YouGotOptions
