Consolidation before ATHThe S&P 500 will likely consolidate and correct slightly before the next leg up. A rally will probably start a day or two before the upcoming Fed meeting. The correction could reach the 0.38 Fibonacci level maybe 0.5, meaning a maximum drop of around 10%. The RSI indicates that the market needs to cool off, and the MACD shows a similar pattern. However, the advance-decline line remains extremely bullish, with no signs of a major drop ahead.

Triple divergence of the RSIA triple divergence on the daily RSI is a technical analysis signal that happens when the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the price of an asset move in opposite directions three times in a row on the daily chart. Here’s the breakdown: ________________________________________ 🔑 Divergence Basics • RSI measures momentum (overbought/oversold conditions). • Divergence occurs when the RSI and price action "disagree": o Bearish divergence: Price makes higher highs, but RSI makes lower highs → momentum is weakening even as price climbs. o Bullish divergence: Price makes lower lows, but RSI makes higher lows → momentum is strengthening even as price drops. ________________________________________ ✅ Triple Divergence • A triple divergence means this mismatch happens three distinct times in succession. • It shows a persistent, building contradiction between price and momentum. For example: • Bearish triple divergence: o Price: Higher high → Higher high → Higher high o RSI: Lower high → Lower high → Lower high ➝ Suggests the uptrend is running on fumes, momentum is fading, and reversal risk is high. • Bullish triple divergence: o Price: Lower low → Lower low → Lower low o RSI: Higher low → Higher low → Higher low ➝ Suggests sellers are losing steam, and a trend reversal upward may be near. ________________________________________ ⚠️ Why It Matters • Daily timeframe divergences carry more weight than intraday ones because they reflect broader sentiment. • A triple divergence is relatively rare and stronger than a single divergence. • Traders often see it as a warning of a major reversal or at least a significant correction ahead.

Yields front and center: Fundamental analysis Following 'labour day' the first trading day proper of September has kicked off with a bang. 'Rising yields' being a concern during the European session. A UK cabinet reshuffle caused UK GILTS to rapidly rise as the market grows increasingly concerned about the government's ability to guide the UK economy. The GBP weakened considerably. Bonds in particular can be difficult to interpret, why would the GBP weaken so much with rising yields, but the USD strengthen when the US10 year is rising at the same time? I would suggest today's movement highlights the precarious situation the UK economy is currently in compared to the US economy. Meaning the market thinks the US consumer can withstand higher interest rates better than the UK consumer. There is also the case to say the USD was bought as a 'safe haven' in what amounted to a yields up / stocks down = risk off European session. During the North American session, 'soft ISM data' put the breaks on the rising yield narrative, creating a 'bad news is good news' scenario. Meaning 'soft US data' still keeps rate cuts on the table. And overall, my underlying 'risk on' bias remains in tact. The market has (not yet) reacted to the tariff supreme court ruling, which is something to keep an eye on. I also think the door has been open for potential GBP short 'relative fundamental' trade. Something like an AUD GBP short (depending on the outcome of upcoming AUD GDP data).

S&P 500 Daily Chart Analysis For Week of August 29, 2025Technical Analysis and Outlook: During the trading activities of the previous week, the S&P 500 Index demonstrated significant downward price movements before indicating a recovery. It reestablished its upward trend by retesting the Mean Resistance level of 6470 and trading above this benchmark. Following this, the Index exhibited a strong pivot, leading to the establishment of a new Mean Resistance at 6502. Currently, the objective is to reach our Mean Support target, set at 6441. It is crucial to acknowledge that once this Mean Support level is achieved, there exists a substantial likelihood of a robust rebound aimed at the long-term target, the Outer Index Rally at 6543, facilitated by the Mean Resistance of 6502. Conversely, there is a potential scenario involving a significant pullback to the Mean Support level of 6370, which an odds-on secondary rebound would follow.

SPX: NVIDIA shines; Jobs data aheadThe optimism on the US equity markets continued through the week, where the S&P 500 managed to achieve another all-time highest level this year, at 6.507. Friday brought some profit taking, where the index slipped by 0,64%, ending the week at 6.460. Some of the most important US macro data included the PCE, which was in line with market expectations at the level of 0,2% in July, while the second estimate of the GDP growth rate beat market expectations with 3,3% q/q, in relation to 3,0% estimated by market. NVIDIA was in the center of investors attention, due to the post of its quarterly results. The company delivered a standout second-quarter performance, with revenue soaring to $46.7 billion—up 56% year-over-year—driven largely by the AI-focused data-center segment, while also launching a massive $60 billion stock buyback program to return capital to shareholders. Despite the strong financials, the stock slid about 3% after hours, as investors voiced concerns around softer-than-expected data-center momentum and ongoing geopolitical exposure, particularly to China. Although the market generally remains optimistic, it should be considered that the week ahead is bringing two currently important indicators. These are related to Non-farm payrolls and JOLTs Job Openings. In case that some indicator deviates from market expectations, it might trigger short term higher volatility on US equity markets

Green Energy & Carbon Credit TradingIntroduction The 21st century has been defined by two monumental shifts: the urgent need to combat climate change and the technological transformation of how we produce, distribute, and consume energy. At the center of these developments lies green energy, a term that embodies renewable, sustainable, and low-carbon energy systems. Alongside it, carbon credit trading has emerged as one of the most innovative market-based solutions for mitigating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Together, green energy and carbon credit trading form a powerful duo: while renewable energy reduces direct emissions, carbon credit markets provide financial incentives and frameworks for industries and countries to reduce or offset their carbon footprints. Understanding both requires exploring the dynamics of global energy systems, environmental policies, financial markets, and international cooperation. Part I: Green Energy 1. Defining Green Energy Green energy refers to power derived from renewable, natural sources that are not only sustainable but also generate minimal or no greenhouse gas emissions during operation. Common forms include: Solar Power – harnessing sunlight through photovoltaic panels or concentrated solar thermal plants. Wind Energy – converting wind’s kinetic energy into electricity via turbines. Hydropower – generating electricity using water flow in rivers or dams. Biomass & Bioenergy – energy from organic material such as crop residues, wood, or algae. Geothermal Energy – tapping the Earth’s internal heat for heating or power generation. Ocean Energy – wave and tidal systems converting marine energy into power. Green energy distinguishes itself from fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas) by being replenishable and having a substantially lower carbon footprint. 2. Drivers of Green Energy Adoption Several forces are driving the adoption of green energy worldwide: Climate Change Awareness – Rising global temperatures, sea-level rise, and extreme weather events demand urgent emission reduction. Energy Security – Countries aim to reduce dependence on imported fossil fuels. Technological Advances – Falling costs of solar panels, wind turbines, and batteries have made renewables cost-competitive. Policy Support – Governments incentivize renewables through subsidies, tax credits, and renewable portfolio standards. Corporate Commitments – Multinationals pledge to shift toward 100% renewable energy (RE100 initiative). Consumer Demand – Citizens increasingly prefer sustainable energy and products. 3. Global Green Energy Landscape (a) Europe The European Union (EU) has been at the forefront, with policies such as the European Green Deal aiming for carbon neutrality by 2050. Countries like Germany (Energiewende), Denmark (wind leader), and Spain (solar power) dominate renewable penetration. (b) United States The U.S. has seen a major green energy boom, led by solar and wind, despite political swings. States like California and Texas lead, and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA, 2022) provides historic renewable energy subsidies. (c) China China is the world’s largest investor and producer of solar panels, wind turbines, and EV batteries. Its ambitious goal is to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. (d) India India aims for 500 GW of renewable capacity by 2030, with strong growth in solar and wind, supported by policies like the National Solar Mission. (e) Rest of the World Africa shows potential in solar, the Middle East is diversifying from oil into renewables, and Latin America (Brazil, Chile) is expanding hydropower and solar. 4. Challenges in Green Energy Intermittency – Solar and wind are weather-dependent, requiring backup systems or storage. Storage – Battery technology is improving but still expensive at scale. Grid Infrastructure – Old grids need modernization to handle variable renewable energy. Investment & Financing – Upfront capital costs can be high, requiring supportive financing models. Land Use & Environmental Concerns – Large solar or wind projects may affect ecosystems. Policy Uncertainty – Inconsistent policies discourage long-term investment. Part II: Carbon Credit Trading 1. Concept of Carbon Credits A carbon credit represents the right to emit one metric ton of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO₂e). These credits are part of market-based mechanisms to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. There are two key approaches: Cap-and-Trade Systems (Compliance Markets) Governments cap total emissions and issue allowances. Companies must hold enough allowances to cover their emissions, but they can trade if they emit less or more. Voluntary Carbon Markets (VCMs) Corporations and individuals purchase carbon offsets voluntarily to neutralize their emissions, often funding renewable energy, reforestation, or clean technology projects. 2. Origins of Carbon Credit Trading The concept was popularized under the Kyoto Protocol (1997), which introduced three flexible mechanisms: Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) – Developed countries invest in emission reduction projects in developing nations. Joint Implementation (JI) – Projects between developed countries. Emissions Trading – Countries with surplus allowances can sell to others. Later, the Paris Agreement (2015) established a more global framework with Article 6, which enables international cooperation through carbon markets. 3. How Carbon Trading Works Example: A cement factory emits 1 million tons CO₂ annually. Government sets a cap of 800,000 tons. The factory must reduce emissions or buy 200,000 credits from another company that reduced emissions below its allowance. This system incentivizes efficiency and low-carbon investment while rewarding overachievers. 4. Compliance Markets vs Voluntary Markets Feature Compliance Market Voluntary Market Basis Regulation (laws, caps) Voluntary CSR, sustainability goals Participants Governments, industries Corporations, NGOs, individuals Examples EU ETS, California Cap-and-Trade, RGGI Gold Standard, Verra (VCS), Climate Action Reserve Size Larger, more liquid Smaller but growing rapidly Objective Meet legal emission targets Achieve carbon neutrality & branding 5. Carbon Credit Standards & Certification For credibility, carbon credits must meet strict criteria: Additionality – Reductions wouldn’t have happened without the project. Permanence – Reductions are long-term (e.g., forests not cut down later). Verification – Independent third-party audit of projects. Leakage Prevention – Emission reduction in one area shouldn’t cause increases elsewhere. Prominent standards include: Verra’s Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) Gold Standard (WWF-supported) Climate Action Reserve American Carbon Registry (ACR) 6. Criticism & Challenges of Carbon Trading Greenwashing – Companies may buy cheap offsets instead of real emission cuts. Double Counting – Same credit claimed by two entities. Project Integrity – Some projects (like forest offsets) face permanence risks. Price Volatility – Carbon credit prices vary widely, affecting planning. Equity Issues – Developing countries may face exploitation if credits are undervalued. Part III: Intersection of Green Energy & Carbon Credits Green energy projects often generate carbon credits by displacing fossil fuel energy. For example: A solar farm replacing coal power saves emissions, generating credits. A biogas project using agricultural waste reduces methane emissions, creating tradable credits. Thus, green energy is both a direct decarbonization strategy and a carbon credit revenue generator. Many corporations purchase renewable energy certificates (RECs) or carbon offsets from green projects to meet net-zero pledges. Part IV: Global Case Studies 1. European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) World’s largest compliance carbon market. Covers ~10,000 installations in energy, industry, aviation. Credits traded across EU countries, providing billions in green investment. 2. California Cap-and-Trade Program (USA) Launched in 2013. Includes industries, fuel distributors, and electricity providers. Linked with Quebec’s carbon market. 3. China’s National ETS Started in 2021, initially covering power plants. Expected to expand to cement, steel, and aviation. Will be the world’s largest market by emissions coverage. 4. India’s Green Energy & Carbon Trading Push Renewable energy projects (solar, wind) generate millions of CERs under CDM. India plans a national carbon trading scheme aligned with its 2070 net-zero goal. Part V: Economic & Financial Dimensions Carbon Pricing as Economic Signal Carbon credits put a price on pollution, internalizing environmental costs. This incentivizes cleaner technologies. Investment in Green Projects Carbon revenues make renewable energy and reforestation projects financially viable, especially in developing countries. Emerging Financial Instruments Green Bonds Carbon ETFs Carbon futures and options on exchanges like ICE and CME Corporate Net-Zero Strategies Companies like Microsoft, Google, and Shell rely on both green energy and carbon credits to achieve carbon neutrality. Part VI: Future Outlook Growth of Voluntary Carbon Markets Expected to grow from ~$2 billion (2022) to over $50 billion by 2030. Digital Carbon Trading Blockchain and tokenization are enhancing transparency and traceability of credits. Integration with ESG Investing Carbon performance will be a key metric in investment decisions. Global Cooperation More linkages between national carbon markets (e.g., EU, China, North America). Corporate Accountability Greater demand for high-quality credits and real emission reductions rather than symbolic offsets. Conclusion Green energy and carbon credit trading represent two sides of the same coin in the global climate action narrative. Green energy reduces emissions at the source by replacing fossil fuels, while carbon markets provide flexible, market-driven tools to finance emission reductions and incentivize global cooperation. However, both face challenges—technological, economic, and ethical—that must be addressed. Transparency, integrity, and equitable benefit-sharing will be essential to ensure that these systems truly help achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement. The future will likely see tighter integration between renewable energy expansion, carbon pricing mechanisms, and sustainable finance, creating a global ecosystem where climate responsibility and economic opportunity go hand in hand.

Hellena | SPX500 (4H): LONG to resistance area of 6596 .Dear colleagues, I haven't made a forecast for the SNP500 in a long time and was waiting for a correction, but it seems that a major correction is not yet close, and at the moment the price continues to be in an upward five-wave movement. Therefore, I believe that we should expect to reach the 6596 area, which will mark the end of the medium-term wave “3.” The corrections are not very deep at the moment, but the price may reach the 6317 area before continuing its upward movement. Manage your capital correctly and competently! Only enter trades based on reliable patterns!

SPX500 & NAS100 AT RESISTANCE CROSSROADS, GOLD GAINING STEAMIn this weekend's analysis on the SPX500 and NAS100 indices, I see a potential bullish trend continuation but also at a key resistance level with hidden bears ready to attach bulls. This is one of the setups that patience is more rewarding than taking a bet. Gold is gaining strength to the upper range and still in the sideways channel. Here too patience for a clear breakout will be more rewarding. I think based on the length of the sideways, once there is a clear breakout, Gold will really rally to it's next targets. Please watch the entire video to understand my analysis and thoughts. Cheers and have a great trading week.

DivergenceLike I have said in the previous idea, this divergence looks very similar to the divergence we saw in June. It can be broken on some extremely positive news, but now some correction will likely take place. The previous one ended with a tiny undercut of previous low and a positive 4h (2h) divergence. Maybe this time we will see a small correction with 6420 low undercut or maybe it will go lower (who knows). I'm shorting it. Will increase the short position if it goes higher first and will get out if I see atleast 1h positive divergence.
