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.

SPY Daily Chart: Uptrend Intact, Key Supports in Focus
SPY Daily Chart: Uptrend Intact, Key Supports in Focus
Established Uptrend with Strong Trend Line Support: SPY continues to display a clear upward trend on the daily timeframe, with price consistently finding support along the depicted trend line. The recent pullback in mid-August saw price effectively test and bounce off this crucial trend line, reaffirming its strength.
640 as Immediate and Confluent Support: The 640 level has proven to be an immediate support zone, coinciding with the recent touch of the upward trend line. The market has shown a decisive bounce from this confluence of support, suggesting current bullish momentum for the short term.
Key Level 620-625 as Deeper Support: Should the immediate 640 support and the upward trend line fail to hold, the next significant 'Key Level' to monitor is the 620 to 625 range. This area has previously acted as a strong demand zone and would represent a more substantial correction within the prevailing uptrend.
Powell’s dovish Jackson Hole speech signaling potential rate cuts amid labor market slowdown and inflation risks, fueled a surge in growth and tech stocks, reinforcing today’s rally.

SPY at a Decision Point – Aug. 21SPY at a Decision Point – Will 639 Hold or Break? 📉📈
Technical Analysis (1H Chart)
SPY is showing a classic bounce attempt after the sharp selloff. Price is sitting around 637–638, just under the downtrend resistance line. The chart highlights:
* Trendline Pressure: Multiple touches of the descending trendline; rejection risk remains high unless bulls reclaim 641–642.
* Key Support: Buyers defended the 635 zone, with the next strong support down at 632–633. Losing this area could trigger another wave lower.
* Momentum Indicators:
* MACD is trying to curl bullish from oversold, but momentum is shallow.
* Stoch RSI is already extended near overbought — suggesting rallies may stall soon if not confirmed with volume.
* Structure: If SPY fails to clear 641.5–642, we may see another lower-high formation and retest of 635.
Trading View (Intraday):
* Bullish case → Clear break + hold above 642, targeting 646–647 supply zone.
* Bearish case → Failure under 639–641 could drag SPY back toward 635–633.
GEX / Options Sentiment
Options positioning confirms this tight battle zone:
* Call Walls / Resistance:
* 640 → First big resistance, aligning with HVL zone.
* 642–644 → Multiple call walls (9–10% concentration).
* 647–648 → Extreme upside wall, likely gamma cap.
* Put Walls / Support:
* 637 (GEX7 / -11%) → First downside magnet.
* 635 (2nd Put Wall / -20%) → Strong support cluster.
* 632 (GEX10 / -5%) → Deeper downside target if selling extends.
* Net Options Flow:
* Puts dominate ~87% (bearish tilt).
* IVR low (14.4) → cheap options pricing, directional plays favored.
* GEX heavily negative at 639, meaning dealer hedging could accelerate volatility around this pivot.
Thoughts & Suggestions
* Market is heavily leaning bearish, but intraday scalps can flip quickly if bulls reclaim 642.
* For options traders:
* Bullish scalp setup → Calls only if breakout above 642 with momentum confirmation.
* Bearish setup → Favor puts on rejection under 639–641, with 635/632 as profit zones.
* Risk management is key here: chop is possible between 637–641 before a decisive move.
🔔 Conclusion: SPY is at a tight inflection between 639 support and 641–642 resistance. Dealer flow favors downside, but if bulls can reclaim 642, a short squeeze toward 646–647 opens up. Until then, bias stays slightly bearish.

SPX Long Term TrendSPX seems to be in a 5 wave upward trend. We see alternation in waves 2 (subdividing) and 4 (sharp move down). We also see that 1 = 3 and 5 so far is 5 = 0.618*1 hence the pullback. Both 2 and 4 have retraced 1 and 3 exactly 50%. The target for wave 5 should either be 0.618*1 or 1.618*1 giving us a pretty bullish move ahead. Will publish short term view in a separate post.
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.

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-)

$SPY Trading Range for 9.2.25
Tomorrow’s Trading range looks fun. All of Friday’s candle’s were red, and we have the 35EMA as resistance. Under that we have the 30min 200MA so definitely keep an eye out for that, it is still facing up so it should offer some support - even if just for a technical bounce.
At the top of the trading range we have a bear gap just under ATH’s.
Let me know how you plan to trade this. Let’s make some money.
SPY Aug 28thI missed the opening pre mkt high (PMH) rejection (648 to 645) but remained patient and waited for buyers to enter at 645 demand, which is what happened.
1. As soon as it touched the 4 hour level (red line) I waited 15 minutes for the candles to hold above it to confirm that it was valid. Jumping in sooner could be a fake-out.
2. I entered and began trimming as it went up.
3. The tricky part was deciding to get out of ALL contracts or leave runners.
Note. I'm testing the 20 EMA as my backup confirmation to the 9 EMA, so this time I kept several runners through the slight dip. In the past I would have gotten out completely and re-entered on the PMH retest, which isn't a bad strategy but I noticed panicking to always get out, left me with smaller profits.
4. I continued to trim all the way up to resistance (red line) for bigger profits. Excellent trade!
Overall takeaway:
A. Don't get mad & frustrated because you missed a move off the open. Wait for the next setup.
B. Establishing valid levels on higher timeframes allows you to profit on intraday trades.
SPY: RISK MODELING...📊 SPY Macro Risk Map | Positioning for Global Capital Flows
The S&P 500 ( AMEX:SPY ) is testing premium levels near the 1.0 Fibonacci extension (649). My risk model highlights a potential liquidity sweep before deeper retracements toward the 0.786–0.702 zones (631–601). These levels represent equilibrium realignments where high-probability institutional accumulation often re-emerges.
🌍 Global Macro Alignment
US Macro: Sticky inflation, Fed policy uncertainty, and fiscal imbalances may cap upside in the near term. Liquidity stress will likely fuel tactical drawdowns.
UAE Positioning: Sovereign wealth capital (ADIA, Mubadala, ICD) is actively rotating into AI-driven infrastructure, global equity overlays, and commodity hedges. Their deep liquidity seeks asymmetric risk-adjusted returns while maintaining exposure to dollar assets.
Capital Intelligence Play: By framing SPY drawdowns as structured entry opportunities, we align with UAE’s appetite for risk-managed US exposure—bridging tactical market volatility with long-term sovereign allocation needs.
⚖️ Risk Pathway
Short-term rejection at premium zones → corrective wave toward 600–620 liquidity pockets.
Potential macro catalyst alignment around October (IMF/WB meetings, Fed forward guidance).
Re-accumulation phase into year-end, targeting 670+ if global liquidity stabilizes.
📌 Financial Intelligence Insight
This is less about chasing trend tops and more about positioning in volatility as an entry vehicle. For UAE-based allocators, the current SPY setup is a live case study in tactical liquidity provision—risk is not avoided but engineered.
💡 Key takeaway: SPY is not just a chart—it’s a capital flow model. Anticipating global sovereign rotation allows us to build strategies that resonate with investors sitting on deep pools of capital.
Google Elliot Wave count adjustedNASDAQ:GOOGL appears to be completing a motif wave 3 with a push into all time high on overbought bearish divergence in the RSI. This would align with 2.618 Fibonacci extension target, a high probability ending point for wave 3.
Wave 4 would be expected to terminate at the nested wave (4) which aligns with triple support - Daily Pivot, High Volume Node and 0.236 Fibonacci retracement. The ascending 200EMA may come to meet price at this point adding confluence.
For now the trend remains up.
Safe trading
Market Outlook and SetupsHope everyone had a good week swing trading. Things are still on the bullish side. Any new position should be light at this level. Got a jam packed video with new setups going into this week. Take partial profits as soon as you can. I like to use the 1.5 ATR as my Take Profit zone.
