S&P 500 — Double Top Setup by FRLThe market remains in an uptrend, but FRL highlights a critical moment. Price is testing the origin of the last impulse — the key FRL level that separates continuation from reversal. A confirmed close below this level will complete the double-top formation and shift the trend into a corrective phase. If confirmation comes, the natural FRL target lies at the 0.618 retracement, which aligns with the 200-day SMA — a strong confluence support. Previous similar FRL setup (fully played out): Nasdaq 100: Double Top or Double Bottom? (FRL Setup)

US500 Post-Nvidia Earnings: A Cautiously Optimistic RevivalThe release of Nvidia's robust quarterly earnings will serve as a critical pivot point for the US500, temporarily dispelling acute market anxieties that led to a recent four day losing streak. The overall outlook shifts from one of pre-earnings jitteriness and valuation concerns to cautious optimism driven by fundamental strength in the dominant tech sector. Fundamental Analysis: AI Momentum Validated The core of the market's positive reaction lies in the fundamental validation of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) mega-trend, which Nvidia remains the central, high-beta bellwether for. Robust Financial Performance: Nvidia is expected to deliver a significant beat, reporting Q3 revenue of $54.9 billion, a staggering 57% year-over-year increase and providing bullish Q4 guidance of $62.2 billion in projected revenue, alongside strong EPS. Sector Wide Relief: These numbers directly address the market's key worry, whether the elevated valuations of tech stocks, particularly those linked to AI, were justified. The massive revenue and growth trajectory from the AI chip leader suggests that the capital expenditure cycle in data centers and AI infrastructure remains incredibly strong. The Valuation Dilemma: While the results provide support, the broader US500's valuation remains elevated at approximately 25 times earnings. This suggests that while the growth engine of AI/Tech is firing on all cylinders, the market's pricing leaves little room for error. The fundamental analysis suggests that the current rally must be consistently backed by strong economic data or further aggressive growth from the largest companies. Technical Analysis: Battle at Resistance The price action of the US500 suggests a recovery is underway, but key technical hurdles must be overcome to confirm a re-establishment of the medium-term uptrend. Recovery and Support: The index successfully recovered from multi-day losses, with immediate support forming near 6,600. This area, combined with the technical floor from the recent pullback at 6,574, is now viewed as the crucial dip-buying zone for bulls seeking trend stability. Overhead Resistance: The immediate technical challenge for the US500 is the resistance 6,700. A decisive breakout above this level is mandatory to trigger fresh buying momentum and signal a potential move toward testing recent all-time highs. Volatility Remains High: The recent spike in the Volatility Index (VIX), which touched 22, highlights that despite the positive catalyst, the market structure remains highly volatile. Traders are still anticipating sizable moves, indicating that the index is not yet in a period of calm, sustained advance. The overall medium-term uptrend is intact above key support but is vulnerable to renewed profit-taking. Sentiment Analysis & Outlook: Relief vs. Lingering Risk Market sentiment has shifted from anxiety to a sense of relief and renewed optimism, but deep seated macro risks prevent euphoria. The AI Bubble Fear Eases: Nvidia's expected strong performance has temporarily quieted concerns about an imminent "AI bubble" or a broader market correction led by tech weakness. Momentum stocks, especially semiconductors and megacap tech, are enjoying a strong tailwind. Macro Risks on the Horizon: The market's focus will quickly pivot to non-tech catalysts, specifically interest rates and the highly anticipated delayed jobs report later this week. Any downside surprise from this key economic data could immediately negate the tech-driven positive sentiment. Near-Term Outlook: The outlook is for cautious stabilization and the potential for modest further gains. For the US500 to sustain a rally and target new highs, it must achieve two things: Technical Confirmation: Sustain above the 6,600 support and successfully break the 6,700 resistance. Macroeconomic Alignment: The upcoming economic data must not present a surprise that forces the market to re-evaluate the Federal Reserve's policy path. Nvidia has bought the market time and provided a strong catalyst. The US500 is breathing a sigh of relief, but the path forward remains highly sensitive to macro news flow and the resilience of the AI trade outside of this singular earnings report.

Wednesday 19 November: Forex thoughts Today's 4 HR S&P opening candle (for me) epitomises the trading week so far. Periods of positivity and periods of negativity, with neither action particularly having any 'juice' behind it. It feels like we are 'waiting for something' (NFP?). Currently, correlations are out of the window and it's difficult. Sentiment for the JPY remains subdued (rate hike pushed back, if there will be one at all). Which makes the JPY very shortable. But getting the timing correct is easier said than done. The GBP continues to be remarkably resilient and the AUD continues to under perform its fundamentals. As things stand, I wouldn't like to hazard a guess at the outcome or reaction to any of the upcoming events (FOMC, NVIDIA, NFP). So, I'm content to observe and form a fresh opinion post NFP. Yesterday's trade stopped out very quickly, I realise it was bold and unconventional but given the underlying negativity at the time, I still don't think it was the worst idea in the world. Maybe you have a different interpretation of the week's events so far?

S&P 500 Reversal Roadmap: Second Bottom Forming at PRZ?As I expected in the previous idea , the S&P 500 index has indeed reached its targets after breaking through the Support lines . Currently, the S&P 500 is approaching the Support zone($6,580_$6,490) , Potential Reversal Zone (PRZ) , and the 100_SMA(Daily) . There’s a possibility of forming a second bottom and a descending channel in the S&P 500, suggesting that the second bottom could form near the PRZ . From an Elliott Wave perspective, it seems that the S&P 500 is completing the microwave 5 of the microwave C of the main wave Y . I expect that, after entering the PRZ or approaching the 100_SMA(Daily) , the S&P 500 will resume its upward movement and potentially rise to around $6,664 . Note: The S&P 500 currently has a significant impact on the markets, especially cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin( BINANCE:BTCUSDT ). Therefore, a potential rise in the S&P 500 could positively influence Bitcoin as well.

SPX500 Softens as Tech Valuation Concerns Rise Before EarningsSPX500 | Overview U.S. futures slipped lower as traders shifted into risk-off mode, driven by renewed concerns over stretched AI and tech valuations ahead of Nvidia’s earnings, set to be released after the market close tomorrow. Sentiment remains cautious, and price action continues to respect the current bearish structure. Technically: SPX500 maintains a bearish momentum while trading below 6670, with downside targets at 6635 and 6610. A break below 6610 would extend losses toward 6578. A bullish recovery will only be possible if the price closes a 1H or 4H candle above 6670, which would open the path for a move toward 6706 and potentially 6722–6754. Key Levels Pivot Line: 6670 Support: 6635 · 6610 · 6578 Resistance: 6706 · 6722 · 6754 Outlook: SPX500 remains bearish below 6670, targeting 6635–6610. A confirmed 1H/4H close above 6670 would shift momentum toward 6706–6722, signaling the first sign of a bullish reversal.

Cognitive Bias VS PrejudgmentCognitive Bias is how you or your brain process or interpret information. What you strongly believe in. (Influenced by beliefs, expectations, emotions, and shortcuts). Prejudgment could be things that are "most of time true, but not always". Learned truths that can be false. (Prejudgment is treating a general rule as always true). ... markets move based on Supply-Demand dynamic, structural positioning and "least resistance". Markets follow the economy. And there are merits to using quant statistics. Prejudgment: (Based on DOW theory or Tudor Jones upsloping 200dma) - there is less risk buying strong bull markets. When DOW is broken, price bellow 200dma - it means bear market. In practice this was a statistical scarce spot where big money is made. -20% is usually a good indicator as well as bottom for the top1% stocks? as well in bitcoin, that wouldn't fall that much. Prejudgment: Stocks follow the economy (true), tariffs pose risks to economy ie cause recession, hence a bear market. Statistically, based on like previous 6 years, every sharp drop gets re-filled instantly. ie the V shape recoveries. mirroring 2020. There was a positional imbalance. Cognitive Bias: trending near the bottom ---> affirms your fears of crash. or bubble talks. Prices follow S-D dynamic, not charts. Another one is believing that most people are in fear. Which equates a crash. cognitive biases in short -- you favor or over emphasize the importance of near term events over longterm proven statistics. Markets repeat over and over again, in same psychological patterns.

Old Ship Fleet: uncertainty and risk.In the old days, buying a trading ship posed risks due to natural disasters. Later on, people could have option to buy lets say a 10% share in a fleet of 10 trading ships. When one ship goes down, it doesn't ruin your "portfolio". I think the concept about not putting all eggs in one basket fits well into risk taking. Then you have some investors claim, you put all your eggs into one basket - and guard the basket. The ship fleet works as a syllogism about uncertainty. Math (probability of disaster on statistical basis). And risk taking. Eggs in one basket is a syllogism about losing everything. But not uncertainty or risk-taking per se. -> In competitive spaces, with only few or one winner. With exponential, explosive returns -- diversifying or putting eggs in separate baskets make no sense. "Fortune favors the bald" is a better way to describe it. but it says nothing about mathematical side of uncertainty or risk taking. Hence the "old ship fleet".

S&P 500 falls below 6K - key levels to watchAs highlighted the possibility yesterday, the S&P 500 has now fallen to a fresh multi-week low. The old low at 6631 is now the most important level to watch in terms of upside resistance. Above that 6638, yesterday's low, will come into focus ahead of 6650/5 area. On the downside, the mid-October lows of 6533 and 6500 are the next areas of interest for the bears. Will we get there? Perhaps if NVidia earnings disappoint tomorrow night.

#SPX Intraday Institutional Update. 18 November 2025**S&P 500 – Intraday Institutional Update | 18 November 2025** The index continues to hover in an extremely uncomfortable elevation zone (~6,870–6,920) after failing multiple times to sustain above the psychologically significant 6,900 round. On the 4-hour timeframe, price action is manifesting as a sequence of indecisive, high-wick candles with diminishing real-body progression — a classic hallmark of structural instability at extreme deviation levels. Key observations from a risk-desk perspective: - The S&P 500 remains ~480–510 points detached above the 9-period monthly moving average, a magnitude of extension that historically compresses aggressively once bidirectional order flow reasserts itself. - 4H momentum profiles (RSI, StochRSI, MACD histogram) are flattening to negatively sloping while price refuses to commit directionally — a textbook precursor to sharp liquidity-driven resolution. - Equal-high retests over the past 72 hours coupled with expanding H4 range ATR but contracting realized volatility underscore fading conviction among fast-money participants. - Micro-composite breadth (NYSE advance-decline line, % of stocks above 50-day MA) continues to deteriorate beneath the surface, widening the divergence with price. From a professional standpoint, the current configuration is one of the more precarious “equilibrium-at-extremes” setups we have monitored in the post-2022 regime. The balance of probabilities now leans toward a violent mean-reversion episode rather than an orderly consolidation. Positioning should reflect heightened caution: elevated gamma exposure, concentrated long positioning in systematic vehicles, and still-rich implied volatility term structure all point to asymmetric downside risk in the very near term. A decisive 4H close below 6,835 would likely trigger stop clusters toward 6,650–6,680 initially, with risk of acceleration toward the 6,400–6,500 zone if monthly support layers fail to attract defensive capital. Institutional risk committees are strongly encouraged to re-evaluate gross and net exposure, widen hedging coverage, and prepare contingency capital for volatility expansion. **Tags** #SP500 #ES_F #Equities #USMarkets #RiskManagement #MarketStructure #TechnicalAnalysis #Momentum #Breadth #Volatility #GammaExposure #InstitutionalInvesting #PortfolioConstruction #Hedging #MacroTrading #SystematicStrategies #VolatilityTargeting #CTAs #RiskParity #GlobalMacro #AssetAllocation #QuantFinance #TradingDesk #GoldmanSachs #JPMorgan #MorganStanley #BankofAmerica #Citi #UBS #DeutscheBank #Barclays #HSBC #BNPP #SocGen #RBC #Citadel #Millennium #Point72 #TwoSigma #DEShaw #AQR #Bridgewater #BlackRock #Vanguard #StateStreet #PIMCO #FidelityInvestments

S&P500 close to confirming the new Bear Cycle.The S&P500 index (SPX) broke below its 1D MA50 again yesterday (even closed the day below) and is showing clear signs of weakness at least for the short-term. This can't be ignored as it may be transferred to the long-term time-frames where the market has been forming a Bearish Divergence on its 1W RSI since October 27. RSI Lower Highs against the market's Higher Highs. This is similar to the November 15 2021 1W RSI Bearish Divergence, which led to one last quick rally and 1.5 month later the Bull Cycle topped and the 2022 inflation crisis Bear Cycle started. The signal was given by a weekly closing below the 1D MA100 (red trend-line), which has been the market's natural Support in the past 5 months and also during every major Bullish Leg of the Bull Cycle. As a result, if the index closes a 1W candle below its 1D MA100, we will call the start of a new Bear Cycle, potentially aiming for the 1W MA200 (orange trend-line), which is where the 2022 Bear Cycle bottomed after a -27.62% correction. Our Target Zone for the next long-term buying will be 5300 - 5000, assuming the top is already in. If not, the -27.62% decline will be re-adjusted to the new top. --- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

Trading Hours Showdown: Stocks, FX, Crypto and When to SleepSome markets close, some don’t, and some don’t care that you need rest. If financial markets were people, they’d each have wildly different sleeping habits. Stocks tuck themselves in usually at 4 p.m. (that is, where they originate from), FX stays up all night but insists it’s “fine,” and crypto is that friend who messages you at 3 a.m. with a life-changing idea (and a 12% move for fun). Understanding when each market is awake, liquid, and volatile is one of the most underrated skills a trader can have. It’s not just about timing entries; it’s about managing risk while you’re away from your devices. Let’s break down the global sleep schedule and why your portfolio should care. 🌅 Stocks: The 9-to-5ers of the Financial World US stocks like routine. They open at 9:30 a.m. ET, close at 4 p.m., and observe weekends and holidays like well-behaved citizens. There’s also pre-market and after-hours trading, but liquidity dries up real fast and moves tend to be exaggerated. Why it matters: Limited hours = overnight gap risk Most volume typically happens in the first and last 30 minutes Big news after hours can cause violent opens the next day Stops can’t protect you when price jumps over your level Every trader eventually experiences the heartbreak of a perfect setup ruined by an overnight earnings surprise. Consider it a rite of passage. 🌍 Forex: The Market with No Bedtime FX ( forex or foreign exchange) trades 24 hours a day, five days a week, rotating through global sessions: Asia (Tokyo) Europe (London) US (New York) That’s a 120-hour work week with no break. Think of it like a global relay race where someone is always awake and analyzing inflation differentials. Why traders love it: Continuous liquidity = fewer gaps Beautiful macro-driven trends Volatility waves follow session overlaps (London–NY especially) But… FX weekends could be silent killers. You’re unprotected from Friday close to Sunday open. That’s plenty of time for geopolitical headlines, surprise events, central bank drama, or a country deciding to unpeg its currency. 🔥 Crypto: The Market That Never Sleeps or Blinks The cryptocurrency market trades 24/7/365. No days off, no weekends, no holidays, no rest. Just pure, unfiltered price action around the clock. This sounds great until you realize you can never fully unplug. Bitcoin BITSTAMP:BTCUSD does not respect your circadian rhythm. Why it’s unique: No “overnight gaps” because it never closes But liquidity gaps may appear during low-volume hours Late-night moves can be extreme due to thin order books Leverage unwinds can trigger liquidation cascades at 3 a.m. Global retail participation exaggerates emotional spikes Crypto doesn’t gap like stocks, but it drifts, snaps, and rips through levels and can make your stomach churn. 🧭 Liquidity: The Real Story Behind the Sleep Schedule Across markets, the one concept that ties them all together is liquidity. That is, how deep the order book is and how efficiently your trades can execute. Stocks Thick liquidity during US hours Thin, jumpy after-hours Prone to large news-driven gaps Forex Deep liquidity almost 24 hours a day Most volume during London–NY overlap Macro news instantly reflected in price Crypto Liquidity pockets vary wildly Exchanges differ in depth Weekends and Asia-over-US crossovers can trigger whipsaws 😴 The Question of Sleep (And How Traders Manage It) Traders eventually learn a few things about trading various asset classes. If you: Hate surprises → Avoid overnight stock positions Love macro trends → FX is your playground Enjoy volatility → Crypto keeps things interesting Value sleep → Choose an asset class that aligns with your time zone and day trade it Choosing a market to trade isn’t just about your strategy, but also about your lifestyle. Volatility doesn’t just depend on the asset. It depends on when you’re watching. Off to you : How do you deal with trading different assets in different time zones? Are you a niche player or a broader market maven? Share your comments below!

Imminent End of the U.S. Statistical Blackout!The prolonged shutdown of the U.S. federal government has had an exceptional impact on the release of some of the country’s most important economic statistics. Indicators such as the employment report (NFP), PCE inflation, or the CPI are the backbone of the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy and heavily influence financial market volatility. Their delay therefore creates a true statistical “black hole.” Why are these indicators delayed? Two federal agencies have been affected: • the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), responsible for NFP and CPI; • the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), which publishes PCE inflation as well as household income and spending data. During the shutdown, these agencies had to suspend the collection, processing, and validation of data. Unlike a simple administrative pause, this disrupts complex statistical pipelines built on surveys of businesses and households. Some data cannot be “caught up” immediately because they depend on strict deadlines, which explains why certain series may be incomplete, revised late, or even canceled. The case of Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) The October NFP report — normally released in early November — was entirely blocked. Signals from the BLS suggest that this report may be partially or totally compromised, especially the household survey, which is more difficult to reconstruct. By contrast, the September report, which was also delayed, now has a confirmed publication date: Thursday, November 20, 2025. For the October report, there is still no official date. The most likely estimates point to a possible release in late November or early December, provided the data quality is deemed acceptable. The case of PCE inflation The October PCE inflation figure — scheduled for October 31 — was also halted. The BEA announced it would revise its entire calendar but has not yet provided firm replacement dates. Economists currently expect a publication around November 26, 2025, potentially in a partially “imputed” form (with statistical estimates filling missing data). Market consequences The absence of these key data forces investors and the Fed to navigate blindly. Volatility could remain elevated until the full or partial release of these indicators, which should gradually return to a normal schedule starting in December.

Artificial Intelligence & Tech Stocks Rally1. The Rise of AI as an Economic Catalyst AI has shifted from being a futuristic concept to a real-world productivity enhancer. It now influences every major industry: financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, retail, cybersecurity, logistics, and more. Technologies such as deep learning, natural language processing, and autonomous systems have prompted companies worldwide to accelerate their digital transformation. The introduction of large language models (LLMs), AI chips, robotics, and automation has created a new economic cycle driven by data, computing power, and algorithmic intelligence. As a result, companies directly involved in AI development—along with those supplying the hardware and cloud platforms—have become market favorites. Investors increasingly view AI as the next “industrial revolution” capable of reshaping global productivity, profitability, and innovation. This belief has driven massive capital inflows into tech stocks, especially those perceived as leaders in AI research and commercialization. 2. Key Drivers Behind the AI-Fueled Tech Rally A. Explosive Growth of Generative AI The launch of advanced generative AI systems dramatically accelerated interest in AI stocks. Major companies quickly integrated generative AI into search engines, productivity tools, customer support, and software development workflows. This rapid adoption strengthened the revenue outlook for tech giants and reinforced investor confidence. B. Demand for High-Performance Computing & AI Chips Semiconductor companies, particularly those producing AI GPUs and specialized accelerators, have emerged as the backbone of the AI revolution. The massive need for computational power has pushed chip manufacturers to record valuations. Cloud service providers and hyperscale data centers are investing billions to upgrade their infrastructure to handle AI workloads. C. Cloud Expansion & Software AI Integration Tech firms integrating AI into their existing cloud and software offerings have seen rising subscription revenue and improved customer retention. The “AI upgrade cycle”—where businesses adopt AI features as part of cloud services—has enhanced long-term earnings visibility for cloud companies. D. Automation & Productivity Gains AI-driven automation is helping businesses improve productivity while reducing costs. Companies that demonstrate measurable efficiency gains from AI adoption are rewarded by investors, who view this as margin-expansion potential. As firms show better earnings due to AI-enabled efficiencies, market optimism increases. E. Global Government Support Governments worldwide are prioritizing AI policy, infrastructure, and innovation funding. This includes national AI strategies, incentives for semiconductor manufacturing, and investment in digital public infrastructure. These initiatives create favorable environments for AI-driven business growth, further strengthening investor sentiment. 3. Major Sectors Benefiting from the AI Rally 1. Semiconductor & Chip Manufacturing AI requires enormous computing power, leading to unprecedented demand for GPUs, neural processing units (NPUs), and specialized chips. Semiconductor companies have seen massive revenue growth due to AI training and inference workloads. 2. Cloud Computing Platforms AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and others are increasingly viewed as the “AI backbone” because they host AI models and provide infrastructure. Cloud giants benefit from scalable subscription revenue and enterprise AI spending. 3. Software as a Service (SaaS) SaaS companies integrating AI into CRM, automation, analytics, and productivity tools are experiencing an upgrade cycle. New AI features allow them to charge premium subscription fees, boosting profitability. 4. Cybersecurity AI-powered cybersecurity systems detect threats faster and manage huge volumes of data. With rising cybercrime, demand for AI-based security tools continues to expand. 5. Robotics & Automation AI is powering industrial robotics, warehouse automation, and autonomous machinery. The increased demand for efficiency in logistics and manufacturing fuels revenue growth for automation firms. 6. Consumer Technology AI is enhancing smartphones, smart home systems, wearables, and personal digital assistants. Tech companies adding AI capabilities have seen surging demand for next-generation devices. 4. Why Investors Are Bullish on AI's Long-Term Outlook A.
