S&P500 |H1 Rising Wedge | GTradingMethodHello Traders, happy Tuesday!
🧐 Market Overview:
I’ve been closely tracking the rising wedge forming on the 1 hour chart. While this isn’t a pattern I normally trade, the structure caught my attention, and I decided to expose a small amount of risk.
Rising wedges are generally bearish in nature - they don't always have to be though. If I zoom out, markets are over bought on the RSI and there are rsi divergences on multiple timeframes. This is one signal that markets need to cool off before advancing further. So bearing in mind the RSI divergences and the bearish pattern, I have decided to risk a small amount.
Further, if this pattern plays out, it will likely bring crypto down with it.
Ideally, I’d prefer to see a clean double top develop before committing more exposure on the short side.
📊 Trade Plan:
Entry: 6 633.7
Stop Loss: 6 648.7
Take Profit: Not predefined (will target structural support levels highlighted on the chart)

S&P500 Risks drop to the 4H MA200 if MA50 fails.The S&P500 index (SPX) is experiencing a strong intra-day correction that just hit its 4H MA50 (blue trend-line) for the first time since September 05. As long as this holds, we expect a gradual rise, targeting 6800 (representing a +3.89% increase similar to July's).
A 1D candle closing below the 4H MA50 however, has historically paved the way to more selling within the 4-month Channel Up, that touched the 4H MA200 (orange trend-line) before rebounding. If that candle closing takes place, we will close the 4H MA50 buy on minimum loss and buy on the 4H MA200, targeting 6700 (sharp rebound similar to all 4H MA200 bounces).
Keep also an eye on the 4H RSI Buy Zone. It has given the 5 most optimal buy entries during these 4 months. Note also that the 4H MA200 has been holding as Support since the April 25 break-out.

S&P500 | H2 Double Top | GTradingMethodHello Traders,
Watching the S&P for a potential double top.
It also aligns with the retest of the rising wedge, which is has already broken to the downside. This kind of confluence gives me extra excitement about a trade.
What I still need to happen for me to open the trade:
- H2 candle close in the entry range
- H2 candle that closes in the range needs a certain closure rate
- RSI needs to create another divergence
- Volume needs to be lower on T2, although my system does give exceptions if there is a data release, in this case FOMC, so exception will likely apply.
📊 Trade Plan:
Risk/reward = Between 3.3 and 4.3
Entry price = Between 6630 and 6639.9
Stop loss price = Between 6649.2 and 6656.8
Take profit level 1 (50%) = 6576
Take profit level 2 (50%) = 6553
I would ideally like my stop loss above the rising wedge, that way it needs to break through both barriers.
Also, if this pattern plays out, I think it will drag the crypto market down with it... Unfortunately.
💡 GTradingMethod Tip:
Always predefine your risk before entering a trade. This is a non negotiable to becoming a professional trader.

US500: Disconnection between equity prices & broad economic dataThe US500 is trading near record highs with the index up nearly 18% over the year. The market is driven by optimism about an imminent Fed rate cut, robust Q3 earnings, and continued strength in large cap tech shares, but fundamental valuation concerns and signs of overbought technical conditions persist.
Fundamental Analysis
The rally is resting on expectations that the Federal Reserve will announce its first 2025 rate cut this week, likely by 25 basis points.
Mega cap tech and rate sensitive sectors are leading gains, but economic headwinds remain, unemployment is ticking higher, and indicators like retail sales and leading economic indicators have weakened.
Valuations among the top US500 stocks are stretched, with the top 10 names trading at a forward P/E of 30x well above historical averages and record levels of cash hoarding notably by Berkshire Hathaway are raising caution flags.
Disconnection between equity prices and broad economic data is notable, with softening consumer metrics and elevated corporate bankruptcies.
Technical Analysis
Technical signals remain mostly bullish, as the index continues to trade within a strong uptrend and posts new highs.
Short-term technical indicators such RSI show overbought conditions and weak breadth could signal fatigue.
Key support is found at 6,545, then at 6,505 while immediate resistance is at the all-time high and then at projected levels of 6,630 ahead of 6,690.
Analysis by Terence Hove, Senior Financial Markets Strategist at Exness
S&P 500 Index Holds Near Record High Ahead of Fed AnnouncementS&P 500 Index Holds Near Record High Ahead of Fed Announcement
At 21:00 GMT+3 today, the Federal Reserve will announce its interest rate decision, followed by Jerome Powell’s press conference. The rate is widely expected to be cut from 4.25%–4.50% to 4.00%–4.25%.
This will conclude a prolonged intrigue fuelled by President Trump:
→ his constant criticism of Powell for pursuing an “overly tight” policy;
→ the decision to dismiss Federal Reserve Board member Lisa Cook, which markets perceived as direct pressure on the regulator’s independence.
In anticipation of the outcome, traders are showing optimism. The S&P 500 index reached a new all-time high yesterday, climbing above 6,640 points. This morning the price pulled back slightly, which can be interpreted as a short-term correction ahead of a key event. Effectively, the market has already priced in the expected policy easing, viewing it as a catalyst for further growth.
Technical Analysis of the S&P 500 Chart
Six days ago, when analysing the 4-hour chart of the S&P 500 (US SPX 500 mini on FXOpen), we noted that:
→ the price was oscillating within an upward channel (marked in blue);
→ in September, the index has been following a steep bullish trajectory (marked in orange), with its lower line showing signs of support.
Since then, favourable inflation data helped the bulls break above the channel’s upper boundary (highlighted with an arrow).
Possible scenarios:
Bullish perspective:
→ The breakout candle above the blue channel has a long body, signalling strong buying momentum – an imbalance, also known in Smart Money Concept (SMC) as a Fair Value Gap (FVG).
→ The local level of 6,600, once resistance, has now turned into support; the next target could be the psychological level of 6,700.
→ The price is consolidating above the blue channel’s upper boundary, indicating robust demand.
Bearish perspective:
→ The upper boundary of the orange channel may act as resistance.
→ The RSI indicator, although off overbought territory, remains close to it – potentially deterring buyers from entering at elevated prices.
Taking all of this into account, the current balance could easily be disrupted once the Fed announces its rate decision – arguably the most significant event of the month in the economic calendar. Be prepared for spikes in volatility, as sharp moves in either direction are possible.

S&P500 | H1 Head and Shoulders | GTradingMethod👋 Hello again fellow Traders,
I already have a short open from 6 633.7, but I’d love to see a Head & Shoulders pattern develop so I can scale into more shorts.
So far, the build-up looks promising — volume has picked up significantly on this drop, which is a bearish signal. That said, I’m still waiting on confirmation before committing further.
📊 Trade Plan:
Risk/Reward: 3.1
Entry: 6 614.3
Stop Loss: 6 625.4
Take Profit 1 (50%): 6 586.9
Take Profit 2 (50%): 6 570.2
🔎 What I Need to See First:
A 30m candle to reach and close in range
Lower volume on the candle that closes in range vs. the left shoulder
More candles forming the right shoulder
💡 GTradingMethod Tip:
Patience is key. The best trades usually come when all conditions align — not just some of them.

Will Fed rate cuts provide further upside for US500?
On the eve of the FOMC meeting, US indices traded cautiously as stronger August retail sales reignited concerns over inflation risks. Retail sales rose 0.6% MoM, beating the 0.3% consensus. Charles Schwab noted that despite weak August jobs data, consumer spending remains resilient, supporting Q3 growth.
Industrial production also surprised to the upside at 0.1% (cons. -0.1%), with manufacturing output—the largest component—up 0.2% on a rebound in autos.
US500 remains within the ascending channel, maintaining a steady uptrend. The widening gap between both EMAs suggests the potential continuation of bullish momentum. If US500 holds above both EMAs, the index may gain upward momentum toward the psychological resistance at 6700. Conversely, if US500 breaks below the 6530 support, the index could retreat toward 6340.
Global Commodity Supercycles1. What Is a Commodity Supercycle?
A commodity supercycle refers to a prolonged period (typically 20–40 years) during which commodity prices rise significantly above long-term averages, driven by sustained demand growth, supply constraints, and structural economic shifts. Unlike typical business cycles of 5–10 years, supercycles are much longer and tied to transformational changes in the global economy.
Key features include:
Long Duration: Lasts for decades, not years.
Broad-Based Price Increases: Not limited to one commodity, but a basket (energy, metals, agriculture).
Demand Shock Driven: Triggered by industrial revolutions, urbanization waves, or technological breakthroughs.
Slow Supply Response: Mines, oil fields, and farms take years to scale up, prolonging shortages.
Eventual Bust: Once supply catches up or demand slows, prices collapse, starting a long down-cycle.
2. Historical Commodity Supercycles
Economists often identify four major supercycles since the 19th century.
a) The Industrial Revolution Supercycle (Late 1800s – Early 1900s)
Drivers: Industrialization in the U.S. and Europe, railroad expansion, urban growth.
Key Commodities: Coal, steel, iron, copper.
Impact: Prices soared as cities and factories expanded. Demand for energy and metals fueled new empires. Eventually, productivity gains and resource discoveries (new coal fields, iron ore mines) balanced the market.
b) The Post-War Reconstruction Supercycle (1940s–1960s)
Drivers: World War II destruction, followed by reconstruction in Europe and Japan.
Key Commodities: Steel, oil, cement, agricultural products.
Impact: The Marshall Plan, industrial rebuilding, and mass consumption pushed commodity demand sky-high. OPEC began forming as oil became the lifeblood of economies. The cycle peaked in the 1960s before slowing in the 1970s.
c) The Oil Shock and Emerging Markets Supercycle (1970s–1990s)
Drivers: Oil embargo (1973), Iran Revolution (1979), rapid urbanization in parts of Asia.
Key Commodities: Crude oil, gold, agricultural goods.
Impact: Oil prices quadrupled in the 1970s, fueling inflation and recessions. Gold became a safe haven. By the 1980s, new oil production in the North Sea and Alaska helped break the cycle.
d) The China-Driven Supercycle (2000s–2014)
Drivers: China’s rapid industrialization and urbanization, joining the WTO (2001).
Key Commodities: Iron ore, copper, coal, crude oil, soybeans.
Impact: China’s demand for steel, infrastructure, and energy triggered the largest commodity boom in modern history. Copper and iron ore prices quadrupled. Oil hit $147/barrel in 2008. The cycle began unwinding after 2014 as China shifted toward services and renewable energy, and global supply caught up.
3. The Anatomy of a Supercycle
Each supercycle follows a predictable pattern:
Stage 1: Triggering Event
A major economic or geopolitical transformation sparks sustained demand. Examples: Industrial revolution, post-war reconstruction, or China’s rise.
Stage 2: Demand Surge
Factories, cities, and infrastructure consume massive amounts of raw materials. Demand far outpaces supply.
Stage 3: Price Boom
Commodity prices skyrocket. Exporting nations enjoy “commodity windfalls.” Importers face inflation and trade deficits.
Stage 4: Supply Response
High prices incentivize new investments—new oil rigs, mines, farmland. But supply takes years to come online.
Stage 5: Oversupply & Demand Slowdown
Eventually, supply outpaces demand (especially if growth slows). Prices collapse, ushering in a prolonged downcycle.
4. Economic and Social Impacts of Supercycles
Supercycles are double-edged swords.
Positive Impacts:
Export Windfalls: Resource-rich countries (e.g., Brazil, Australia, Middle East) see growth, jobs, and government revenues.
Industrial Expansion: Importing nations can grow rapidly by using commodities for infrastructure.
Innovation Incentives: High prices drive efficiency, substitution, and technology (e.g., shale oil, renewable energy).
Negative Impacts:
Dutch Disease: Commodity booms can overvalue currencies, hurting manufacturing exports.
Volatility: Dependence on commodity cycles creates fiscal instability (e.g., Venezuela, Nigeria).
Inequality: Resource wealth often benefits elites, not the wider population.
Environmental Stress: Mining, drilling, and farming expansion often degrade ecosystems.
5. Current Debate: Are We Entering a New Supercycle?
Since 2020, analysts have speculated about a new global commodity supercycle.
Drivers Supporting a New Cycle:
Energy Transition: Shift to renewables and electric vehicles massively increases demand for copper, lithium, cobalt, and rare earths.
Infrastructure Spending: U.S., EU, and China launching trillions in green infrastructure projects.
Geopolitical Shocks: Russia-Ukraine war disrupted oil, gas, and wheat markets.
Supply Constraints: Years of underinvestment in mining and oil exploration after 2014 downturn.
Population Growth: Rising consumption in India, Africa, and Southeast Asia.
Drivers Against:
Technological Substitution: Recycling, efficiency, and alternatives (e.g., hydrogen, battery innovation) could cap demand.
Climate Policies: Push for decarbonization reduces long-term oil and coal demand.
Economic Uncertainty: Global recession risks, debt crises, and deglobalization trends.
Likely Scenario:
Instead of a broad-based boom like the 2000s, we may see a “green supercycle”—metals (copper, lithium, nickel) rising sharply while fossil fuels face structural decline.
6. The Role of Investors in Commodity Supercycles
Supercycles are not just macroeconomic phenomena—they also attract investors and speculators.
How Investors Play Them:
Futures Contracts: Traders bet on rising/falling commodity prices.
Equities: Buying mining, energy, and agriculture companies.
ETFs & Index Funds: Exposure to commodity baskets.
Hedging: Airlines hedge oil, food companies hedge wheat, etc.
Risks:
Mis-timing cycles leads to heavy losses.
High volatility compared to stocks and bonds.
Political risk in resource-rich countries.
Lessons from History
No Cycle Lasts Forever: Every boom is followed by a bust.
Supply Always Catches Up: High prices incentivize investment, eventually cooling prices.
Policy and Technology Matter: Wars, sanctions, renewables, and discoveries reshape cycles.
Diversification Is Key: Countries and investors relying only on commodities face huge risks.
Conclusion
Global commodity supercycles are among the most powerful forces shaping economies, markets, and geopolitics. From fueling industrial revolutions to triggering financial crises, commodities underpin human progress and conflict alike.
Today, the world may be on the cusp of a new, “green” commodity supercycle driven by decarbonization, electrification, and geopolitical rivalry. Metals like copper, lithium, and nickel may play the role that oil and steel did in past cycles. Yet, history teaches us caution—supercycles generate immense opportunities but also volatility, inequality, and environmental costs.
For policymakers, the challenge is to manage windfalls responsibly. For investors, it is to ride the wave without being crushed by it. And for societies, it is to ensure that the benefits of supercycles support long-term sustainable development rather than short-lived booms and painful busts.
US500Success in forex and stocks comes from a combination of knowledge, discipline, and patience. Understanding market trends, economic factors, and company fundamentals is crucial, but equally important is controlling emotions and sticking to a well-planned strategy. Continuous learning, adapting to changing conditions, and managing risk wisely can turn opportunities into consistent growth over time. Consistency, not luck, separates successful traders from the rest.
Of course. Here is the English translation of the analysis for tOf course. Here is the English translation of the analysis for the US500 (S&P 500 index):
The US500 (S&P 500 Index) is the most authoritative benchmark for gauging the overall health of large-cap U.S. stocks. Covering 11 major sectors, its diversified nature makes it a "barometer" of the U.S. economy. The index is currently trading at all-time highs, driven by a combination of market expectations for Fed rate cuts and the resilience of corporate earnings. It is extremely sensitive to monetary policy; any surprises in inflation (CPI/PCE) or employment data can reshape the interest rate path and trigger a market repricing.
Sector rotation within the index is a key focal point. While the leadership of tech giants remains the main engine for gains, the performance of cyclical sectors like energy, financials, and industrials is crucial for market breadth and sustainability, signaling confidence in an economic "soft landing." From a technical standpoint, the 5,300 area has become a new battleground for bulls and bears. If constituent earnings continue to exceed expectations, the index could consolidate its upward momentum; conversely, it faces pullback pressure in a high-valuation environment.
Looking ahead, the direction of the US500 will be a tug-of-war between "AI-driven earnings growth" and "higher-for-longer interest rates." Investors should pay balanced attention to mega-cap earnings and broad economic data to assess whether the momentum can broaden. Short-term volatility is inevitable, while the long-term trend remains anchored on whether the U.S. economy can avoid a recession.
S&P500 Key Trading levels Optimism on US-China relations drove markets higher after Trump’s positive Madrid meeting comments and Treasury Sec. Bessent’s note on a TikTok deal framework.
The NASDAQ Golden Dragon China index (+0.87%) outperformed as US-listed Chinese firms rallied.
This lifted global equities: S&P 500 +0.47% (new ATH), Stoxx 600 +0.42%, both near record highs.
Tech led gains: NASDAQ +0.94%, Magnificent 7 +1.95%. Alphabet hit $3trn valuation, Tesla +3.56% on Musk’s share purchase. Nvidia slipped (-0.04%) on China antitrust news.
Despite broad weakness under the surface, the S&P 500 is now +12.47% YTD and has risen in 6 of the past 7 weeks—its strongest stretch in 2025.
Conclusion for S&P 500 today:
With sentiment anchored by trade optimism and tech leadership, momentum remains upward, but concentration in a few mega-cap names alongside weaker breadth suggests potential for near-term consolidation even as the broader index holds bullish bias.

The Global Shadow Banking System1. Understanding Shadow Banking
1.1 Definition
Shadow banking refers to the system of credit intermediation that occurs outside the scope of traditional banking regulation. Coined by economist Paul McCulley in 2007, the term highlights how non-bank entities perform bank-like functions such as maturity transformation (borrowing short-term and lending long-term), liquidity transformation, and leverage creation—yet without the same safeguards, such as deposit insurance or central bank backstops.
1.2 Key Characteristics
Non-bank entities: Shadow banking is carried out by hedge funds, money market funds, private equity firms, securitization vehicles, and other institutions.
Credit intermediation: It channels savings into investments, much like traditional banks.
Regulatory arbitrage: It often arises where financial activity moves into less regulated areas to avoid capital and liquidity requirements.
Opacity: Complex instruments and off-balance sheet entities make it difficult to track risks.
1.3 Distinction from Traditional Banking
Unlike regulated banks:
Shadow banks cannot access central bank liquidity in times of crisis.
They lack deposit insurance, increasing systemic vulnerability.
They rely heavily on short-term wholesale funding such as repurchase agreements (repos).
2. Historical Evolution of Shadow Banking
2.1 Early Developments
Shadow banking’s roots can be traced to the 1970s and 1980s, when deregulation in advanced economies allowed financial innovation to flourish. Rising global capital flows created demand for new instruments outside traditional bank lending.
2.2 Rise of Securitization
The 1980s–2000s saw the explosion of securitization, where loans (e.g., mortgages) were bundled into securities and sold to investors. Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) and conduits became central actors in shadow banking, financing long-term assets with short-term borrowing.
2.3 Pre-Crisis Boom (2000–2007)
The shadow system expanded rapidly before the 2008 financial crisis. Investment banks, money market funds, and structured investment vehicles financed trillions in mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and collateralized debt obligations (CDOs). This system appeared efficient but was highly fragile.
2.4 The 2008 Financial Crisis
When U.S. subprime mortgage markets collapsed, shadow banks faced a sudden liquidity freeze. Lacking deposit insurance and central bank support, institutions like Lehman Brothers collapsed, triggering global contagion. The crisis revealed the systemic importance—and dangers—of shadow banking.
2.5 Post-Crisis Reconfiguration
After 2008, regulators tightened banking rules, pushing even more activities into the shadow system. Simultaneously, reforms such as tighter money market fund rules sought to contain systemic risks. Despite these efforts, shadow banking has continued to grow, especially in China and emerging markets.
3. Structure of the Shadow Banking System
The shadow banking universe is diverse, consisting of multiple actors and instruments.
3.1 Key Entities
Money Market Funds (MMFs) – Provide short-term financing by investing in highly liquid securities.
Hedge Funds & Private Equity – Use leverage to provide credit, often in riskier markets.
Structured Investment Vehicles (SIVs) – Finance long-term securities through short-term borrowing.
Finance Companies – Offer consumer and business loans without deposit funding.
Broker-Dealers – Rely on repo markets to fund securities inventories.
Securitization Conduits & SPVs – Issue asset-backed securities (ABS).
3.2 Instruments and Mechanisms
Repos (Repurchase Agreements) – Short-term loans secured by collateral.
Commercial Paper – Unsecured short-term debt issued by corporations or conduits.
Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) – Bundled mortgage loans sold to investors.
Collateralized Debt Obligations (CDOs) – Structured products pooling various debt instruments.
Derivatives – Instruments like credit default swaps (CDS) that transfer credit risk.
3.3 Interconnectedness
The system is deeply interconnected with traditional banks. Many shadow entities rely on bank credit lines, while banks invest in shadow assets. This interdependence amplifies systemic risk.
4. Global Dimensions of Shadow Banking
4.1 United States
The U.S. remains the epicenter, with trillions in assets managed by MMFs, hedge funds, and securitization vehicles. Its role in the 2008 crisis highlighted its global impact.
4.2 Europe
European banks historically relied on securitization and repo markets, making shadow banking integral to cross-border finance. Luxembourg and Ireland are major hubs due to favorable regulations.
4.3 China
China’s shadow banking system emerged in the 2000s as a response to tight bank lending quotas. Wealth management products (WMPs), trust companies, and informal lending channels fueled rapid credit growth. While supporting growth, they also raised concerns of hidden debt risks.
4.4 Emerging Markets
In Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia, shadow banking fills credit gaps left by underdeveloped banking sectors. However, limited oversight raises systemic vulnerabilities.
5. Benefits of Shadow Banking
Despite its risks, shadow banking provides several advantages:
Credit Diversification – Expands funding beyond banks.
Market Liquidity – Enhances efficiency in capital markets.
Financial Innovation – Encourages new instruments and risk-sharing mechanisms.
Access to Credit – Supports SMEs and consumers underserved by traditional banks.
Global Capital Mobility – Facilitates international investment flows.
6. Risks and Challenges
6.1 Systemic Risk
Shadow banking increases interconnectedness, making financial crises more contagious.
6.2 Maturity and Liquidity Mismatch
Borrowing short-term while investing in long-term assets creates vulnerability to runs.
6.3 Leverage
High leverage amplifies both profits and losses, making collapses more severe.
6.4 Opacity and Complexity
Structured products like CDOs obscure underlying risks.
6.5 Regulatory Arbitrage
Activities shift to less regulated domains, making oversight difficult.
6.6 Spillover to Traditional Banking
Banks are exposed through investments, credit lines, and funding dependencies.
Conclusion
The global shadow banking system is a double-edged sword. On one hand, it enhances financial diversity, supports credit creation, and fuels innovation. On the other, it introduces opacity, leverage, and systemic fragility that can destabilize economies. The 2008 crisis demonstrated how vulnerabilities in the shadow system can trigger global turmoil.
Going forward, regulators must adopt balanced approaches: tightening oversight without stifling beneficial innovation. International coordination is critical, given the cross-border nature of shadow banking. As financial technology evolves, the boundaries between traditional banks, shadow entities, and digital platforms will blur even further.
Ultimately, shadow banking is not merely a “shadow” but an integral part of modern finance—one that demands vigilance, transparency, and adaptive regulation to ensure it serves as a force for stability and growth rather than crisis and contagion.
What to do now that FEDs going to lower interest rates ?This is for traders who enjoys taking advantage of short term market movements. For investors who are holding on to great companies, just sit tight.
The first support level is the gap at 6023 price level. The 2nd level at 5689 is less likely but not impossible.
This fall will be good as US markets are over valued for a while and any falls will be a good accumulation point. Also, the month of September is also seasonally a down month so no hurry to get in. So do be patient and please DYODD.
