S&P500 - best three-day gain since MayThe S&P 500 heads into today’s session on firm footing after posting its best three-day gain since May (+2.62%), buoyed by optimism around a potential Trump–Xi trade breakthrough and upbeat momentum across tech and semiconductor stocks. Investor focus is turning to a pivotal week packed with catalysts: four major central bank meetings, a wave of big-tech earnings (starting tomorrow with Microsoft, Meta, and Alphabet), and the anticipated Trump–Xi meeting on Thursday. Market sentiment was bolstered by Trump’s comments suggesting progress toward a deal and even a possible resolution on TikTok, reviving hopes of easing US–China tensions. The S&P 500 (+1.23%) and Nasdaq Composite (+1.86%) both hit new highs yesterday, driven by strong performance in trade-sensitive and AI-linked names. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (+2.74%) led gains, helped by Qualcomm’s +11% surge on new chip news and reports of a $1bn AI partnership between the US Department of Energy and AMD. Nvidia and other mega-cap tech stocks also rallied, pushing the Mag-7 index up +2.6%, its best single-day gain in five months. On the rates side, the front end of the Treasury curve sold off (2yr +1.0bps) amid risk-on sentiment, while longer maturities rallied (10yr -2.2bps, 30yr -4.1bps), suggesting markets still expect monetary easing ahead. US equity futures are flat this morning, indicating a pause as traders await consumer confidence data and more corporate earnings before the next leg higher. Bottom line: Momentum in the S&P 500 remains positive, supported by AI and trade optimism, but with major catalysts still ahead this week, near-term direction will likely hinge on upcoming tech earnings and central bank guidance.

SPX | Daily Analysis #7 - 27 October 2025Hello and welcome back to DP Weekly Market Review, Past Week Overview: The past week saw a strong inflow of volume from investors optimistic about a market rebound, following the sharp two-week decline driven by renewed U.S.–China trade tensions. The S&P 500 initially showed a K-shaped reaction, but buyers quickly stepped in, pushing prices higher. By Friday, the market not only recovered but also broke above the previous high, setting a new record. On Sunday, Treasury Secretary Bessent announced that the U.S. and China are ready to reach a trade agreement. This news fueled bullish sentiment in the Asian session, causing a major gap-up in the markets, with the index opening around the 6,850 zone. Week Ahead: This week stands as one of the most critical of the quarter for global markets. Federal Reserve Decision: All eyes are on the Fed’s rate announcement—whether they hike, cut, or hold. Every word from Chair Powell regarding “soft landing,” “inflation progress,” or “economic resilience” could move global markets sharply. Tech Earnings Season: The “Tech Titans” — Apple, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, and Google — report their earnings this week. These giants collectively account for around 35% of the Nasdaq’s total weight. U.S.–China Relations: President Trump is expected to meet President Xi for the first time in his second term, with trade tensions still in the background. 1H – 4H Technical Outlook: As shown on the chart, the market opened with a large bullish gap. Some short-term traders anticipate a pullback to fill the gap, which could push prices down toward the 6,800 area. However, a sustained move above 6,860 may signal further bullish momentum toward the upside. Trading Strategy: For now, patience is key — let the market reveal its reaction around key price zones before entering new positions.

SPX | Daily Analysis #9 - 30 October 2025Hello and welcome back to DP, Market Review: Well, yesterday was a significant day across global markets — from U.S. stock indexes to crypto assets — with investors digesting major developments from the Federal Reserve and the renewed U.S.–China trade dialogue. The yesterday’s market summery: - Monetary policy / central bank: The Fed’s decision to cut interest rates by 25 basis points (as expected) was overshadowed by Powell’s cautious tone about future cuts. However, optimism was tempered by comments from Jerome Powell indicating that another rate cut in December is not guaranteed. That caused some caution in the market. - S&P 500: 6,890.59 (down ~0.30 points). Dow Jones Industrial Average: 47,632.00 (down ~74.37 points, ~0.2%). Nasdaq Composite: 23,958.47 (up ~130.98 points, ~0.5%).One of the biggest drivers: Nvidia Corporation became the first public company to reach a roughly $5 trillion market valuation, boosting the tech segment. - Trade & geopolitics: The U.S. signalled progress in trade and industrial policy with China: comments from Donald Trump hinted at easing of some tariffs (e.g., on fentanyl-related goods) and possible cooperation on rare-earth export controls. The U.S. will reduce some tariffs on Chinese goods: for example, tariff on certain chemicals tied to fentanyl production will go from 20 % down to 10 %, and overall U.S. duties on Chinese imports shift from ~57 % to ~47 %. China agreed to resume more agricultural purchases from the U.S. (e.g., soybeans, sorghum) and to postpone export restrictions on rare earth materials for about one year. - And for watching ahead is earnings: Big names like Apple Inc. (AAPL) and Amazon .com Inc. (AMZN) are due after market close, which could influence the market. - The overall crypto market cap held steady near $3.2 trillion, with sentiment described as “risk-on, but wary.” 1H – 4H Technical Analysis: As observed on the chart, price has broken below the bullish trend line and moved through yesterday’s key demand zone, signaling a potential shift in short-term momentum. Currently, the price is declining, approaching lower demand areas. As of this analysis, SPX is retracing and may find temporary support around the 6,842 level, where a short-term rebound toward 6,877 is possible before the next move unfolds. However, if bullish momentum fails to hold above that level, a drop through the gap zone could follow, pushing price action toward the 6,810 support region, which aligns with the next major demand zone on the 4-hour chart. This zone may serve as a stronger accumulation area for potential medium-term buyers. From a broader perspective, the recent U.S.–China trade truce provides a fundamental tailwind for the market — a bullish catalyst that could limit downside extensions and support sentiment in the coming sessions. It’s also notable that the S&P 500’s annual return now stands near +16 %, compared with roughly +24 % two years ago. This suggests that while growth has moderated, there remains room for further upside if macro conditions stay supportive and earnings momentum continues.

SPX | Daily Analysis #8 - 29 October 2025Hello and welcome back to DP Market Review: Over the past two days, as mentioned in our #7 analysis, “a sustained move above 6,860 may signal further bullish momentum toward the upside.” This scenario played out as expected, with price reaching the 6,900 area for the first time. However, short sellers are now stepping in, attempting to fade the rally and fill the gap. Currently, all eyes are on the upcoming Federal Reserve interest rate decision and Chairman Powell’s comments. Both China and the U.S. have remained relatively quiet, keeping market attention focused on monetary policy. Meanwhile, President Trump stated yesterday that he intends to replace Powell in the coming months. Powell has previously clarified that the President does not have direct authority to remove the Fed Chair, so this statement adds a layer of political uncertainty. According to CME FedWatch, there is about a 95% probability of a 25 bps rate cut being announced. 1H–4H Technical Analysis: The 6,900 area is currently acting as a strong resistance zone, followed by the 6,878 support area. • Bears have entered around 6,900–6,917, attempting to push prices lower. • Bulls, however, are showing resilience and defending the zone. If price fails to hold above 6,900, we could see a pullback toward 6,878. Should 6,878 fail to hold, a sharper decline toward the gap zone could occur. Given the interest rate decision, expect high volatility — with sharp moves both up and down before and after the announcement. If you’re planning to trade this event, manage your stop loss carefully and avoid overexposure.

SPX500 | Futures Rise on Intel Boost Ahead of CPI DataSPX500 | Futures Rise on Intel Boost Ahead of CPI Data 📊 Wall Street futures edged higher on Friday, lifted by strong Intel earnings, as investors await a crucial U.S. inflation report (CPI) that could influence the likelihood of a December rate cut. Technically, the SPX500 maintains a bullish structure, with potential to extend gains toward 6,792 → 6,838, especially if CPI data comes in below or in line with expectations. However, if inflation prints higher than expected, the index could face bearish pressure toward 6,720 → 6,670. Pivot Line: 6,770 Resistance: 6,792 – 6,838 Support: 6,720 – 6,670

S&P 500: Signs of a Short-Term Bearish Pullback?The TVC:SPX continues to trade within a well-defined ascending channel that has guided price action since early August. However, recent market behavior suggests potential exhaustion as the index approaches the upper boundary of this structure. After sweeping into the 6,750–6,770 supply zone, price showed rejection with long upper wicks, indicating that buyers are losing momentum near this resistance. The level also aligns with the upper limit of the ascending channel, reinforcing it as a strong confluence zone. From a structural standpoint, the market has failed to establish a new higher high, suggesting that bullish momentum could be weakening. If sellers maintain control below this supply area, a corrective move toward the 6,560 region — near the channel’s midline — becomes likely. A decisive close below 6,640 would further confirm bearish intent, potentially opening room for a deeper retracement toward the lower boundary of the channel around 6,500. Overall, while the broader trend remains technically bullish, the short-term setup favors a bearish pullback before any potential continuation.

Trust and Release – 4 Times to LET Your Trade GoEvery trader knows the feeling. You’ve done all the homework, lined up every signal, and double-checked your risk. It’s like preparing to jump out of a plane with your parachute strapped on – exhilarating, but just a little nerve-wracking. When you’ve put in the work, planned the trade, and set it in motion, there’s only one thing left to do: Let it go. Trust the process and release the trade. Here are four clear-cut signs it’s time to step back and trust your strategy. SIGN #1: The System Lined Up Perfectly You’ve got a strategy for a reason. You trust it, you’ve backtested it, and it’s made it through countless simulations and reviews. Whether you’re trading Forex, JSE Top 40 or even the Dow Jones Index. When all the indicators in your system align, it’s time to act, not hesitate. Remember, the market rewards action, not perfection. If your system says “go,” then go. No second-guessing. J.T.T.T – Just Take The Trade SIGN #2: Your Entry Orders Are All in Place You’ve placed your entry orders and planned each move with the same precision as a grandmaster in chess. So why keep checking every tick? If you’ve calculated your entry points and set them with intention, then you’ve done your job. This is your chance to let the market do the rest. Obsessing over every micro-move will only drag you into a rabbit hole of doubt. Set it and step away. SIGN #3: It Matches Your Risk & Reward Criteria Your trade has a purpose, and you’ve defined it by setting your risk and reward limits. When your setup meets these criteria, there’s no reason to stick around second-guessing the play. You know your max loss, and you know your target profit. You’ve thought it through rationally, and now it’s time to trust that process. You’re here to be a professional, not a perfectionist. SIGN #4: You’ve Nailed Down Your Trade Size Position sizing is a science in itself, and you’ve already done the math. You’re not risking more than you’re willing to lose, and you’re confident in the upside. If you’ve set your trade size according to your plan, you’ve already protected your capital. The last thing you need is to add or subtract impulsively. Let the size stay as it is and let the market move. Conclusion: Trust and Release Trading is as much about discipline as it is about analysis. If you’ve done the work, checked off every box, and know your limits, the best thing you can do is walk away and let your trade breathe. Micromanaging won’t make you money; it’ll just wear you out. The market is like a river – you can’t force it to flow your way. You can only guide your boat down the path you’ve chosen and let the current do its thing. When you’ve planned the trade, trust yourself enough to leave it alone. So let’s sum up the FOUR signs to let your trade go. SIGN #1: The System Lined Up Perfectly SIGN #2: Your Entry Orders Are All in Place SIGN #3: It Matches Your Risk & Reward Criteria SIGN #4: You’ve Nailed Down Your Trade Size

What Is CPI and Why It Matters GloballyIntroduction: The Pulse of the Global Economy In the complex world of economics, few indicators hold as much influence and significance as the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Whether it’s a policymaker setting interest rates, an investor predicting market movements, or an ordinary consumer noticing rising grocery bills, CPI plays a role in everyone’s financial life. It acts as a mirror reflecting changes in the cost of living and inflation, shaping everything from global monetary policies to household budgets. Simply put, CPI measures how much prices have increased or decreased for a basket of goods and services that consumers typically buy. However, behind this simple concept lies a powerful tool that helps nations assess economic stability, business competitiveness, and the real purchasing power of their citizens. Understanding CPI: The Basics The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is an economic indicator that measures the average change in prices of a fixed basket of goods and services over time. This basket includes everyday items such as food, housing, clothing, healthcare, transportation, and education — essentially capturing the spending habits of urban consumers. CPI as a Measure of Inflation CPI is the most widely used tool to measure inflation — the general increase in prices and fall in the purchasing power of money. When CPI rises steadily, it indicates inflation; when it falls, it suggests deflation. Inflation can be both a sign of growth and a warning signal. Moderate inflation encourages spending and investment, as people prefer to buy now rather than later. But excessive inflation — as seen in countries like Argentina or Turkey in recent years — erodes savings, raises borrowing costs, and destabilizes economies. Conversely, deflation (a sustained drop in prices) might sound appealing but can trigger economic stagnation. Falling prices reduce business revenues and wages, discouraging spending and investment. Thus, tracking CPI helps governments strike a delicate balance between economic growth and price stability. Types of CPI Economists often use different versions of CPI to capture varied aspects of price changes: Headline CPI: This is the broadest measure, including all goods and services in the consumer basket. It reflects the overall inflation rate but can be volatile due to changes in food and energy prices. Core CPI: Excludes food and energy components, as they are prone to short-term fluctuations. Core CPI gives a clearer picture of long-term inflation trends. CPI-W and CPI-U (in the U.S.): CPI-W tracks the spending habits of urban wage earners and clerical workers. CPI-U includes all urban consumers and is considered the official measure of inflation. HICP (Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices): Used by the European Union, this version allows for consistent inflation comparisons across member states. Each variation of CPI serves a specific policy or analytical purpose, allowing economists to monitor inflation more accurately across different sectors and regions. CPI and Global Monetary Policy CPI plays a central role in shaping global monetary policy. Central banks like the Federal Reserve (U.S.), European Central Bank (ECB), Bank of England, and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) rely on CPI trends to make key decisions about interest rates and money supply. When CPI shows rising inflation, central banks often raise interest rates to cool down spending and borrowing. When CPI indicates deflation or weak inflation, they lower rates to stimulate economic activity. For instance, during the COVID-19 pandemic, global CPI levels dropped as demand collapsed. Central banks responded with historically low interest rates and massive stimulus packages. However, post-pandemic supply chain disruptions and energy shortages sent CPI soaring globally — prompting rapid interest rate hikes in 2022–2023. These fluctuations show how closely CPI data influences global financial stability, currency values, and investment decisions. CPI and Purchasing Power CPI also helps determine changes in purchasing power — how much goods and services a unit of currency can buy. If wages rise slower than CPI, real income effectively decreases, meaning consumers can buy less with the same money. For example: If CPI rises by 6%, but wages increase by only 3%, then real wages have fallen by 3%. This erosion in purchasing power can reduce consumer confidence and spending — key drivers of economic growth. Governments and labor unions often use CPI data to adjust wages, pensions, and social benefits (a process called indexation) to maintain people’s living standards. CPI as a Global Benchmark CPI data is not just a domestic concern — it has international ramifications. Global investors, financial institutions, and multinational corporations all monitor CPI across different countries to assess economic health and currency risks. Here’s how: Exchange Rates: High inflation (rising CPI) typically weakens a nation’s currency because it erodes purchasing power. Investors may move money to countries with lower inflation and higher returns, affecting foreign exchange markets. Investment Flows: CPI trends help guide foreign direct investment (FDI) and portfolio investment decisions. For instance, a stable CPI and moderate inflation attract investors seeking predictable returns. Trade Competitiveness: Countries with lower inflation maintain price stability in exports, making their goods more competitive globally. Conversely, high CPI growth can make exports expensive and hurt trade balances. Thus, CPI serves as a universal barometer for comparing economic conditions across nations. CPI and the Financial Markets The stock market, bond market, and commodity markets react strongly to CPI reports. Traders and investors treat CPI announcements as key economic events because they directly influence interest rate expectations and corporate profitability. Equity Markets: Rising CPI may hurt company profits by increasing input costs. However, certain sectors — like energy, commodities, and consumer staples — often benefit during inflationary periods. Bond Markets: Bonds are highly sensitive to inflation. When CPI rises, bond yields increase because investors demand higher returns to offset the loss of purchasing power. This inversely affects bond prices. Commodity Markets: Commodities such as gold and crude oil often act as inflation hedges. A high CPI can push investors toward tangible assets that retain value when currencies lose purchasing power. Thus, CPI data can trigger short-term volatility and long-term investment strategy shifts across asset classes. Limitations of CPI While CPI is an essential tool, it’s not without flaws. Economists often debate its accuracy and representativeness due to several factors: Substitution Bias: Consumers tend to switch to cheaper alternatives when prices rise, but CPI assumes a fixed basket — overstating inflation. Quality Adjustments: Technological improvements often increase product quality (e.g., smartphones), but CPI may not fully capture this added value. Geographical Variations: Price changes differ between regions. Urban CPI may not accurately reflect rural cost-of-living changes. Lagging Indicator: CPI measures inflation after it has occurred, meaning policymakers are often reacting to past data. Exclusion of Certain Costs: CPI may exclude investment assets like real estate or stocks, even though they significantly affect household wealth. Despite these limitations, CPI remains the most reliable and widely accepted inflation measure because of its consistency and comparability. Case Studies: CPI in Action 1. United States: Inflation and Federal Reserve Policy In 2022, U.S. CPI surged above 9%, the highest in four decades. Rising food, fuel, and housing costs prompted the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates aggressively throughout 2022–2023. This decision cooled inflation but also slowed economic growth and rattled stock markets. It showcased how CPI data can reshape monetary strategy and ripple through global markets. 2. India: Balancing Growth and Inflation India’s CPI basket is heavily weighted toward food and housing. When food prices rise due to poor monsoon or supply shortages, CPI spikes quickly. The RBI uses CPI as its main inflation target, aiming to keep it between 2–6%. By adjusting repo rates based on CPI trends, the RBI manages both growth and price stability. 3. Eurozone: The Battle with Deflation and Energy Prices For years, the Eurozone struggled with low inflation and deflation risks, prompting the ECB to maintain ultra-low interest rates. However, after the Ukraine conflict in 2022, energy-driven CPI spikes forced the ECB to tighten policy sharply. This swing illustrated CPI’s impact on regional economic integration and fiscal coordination. CPI in the Context of Global Challenges Today’s world faces unprecedented inflationary pressures due to factors like: Geopolitical conflicts (e.g., Russia–Ukraine) Supply chain disruptions Energy market volatility Climate change impacting agriculture Post-pandemic demand surges As a result, global CPI data has become a critical early warning system for potential recessions, stagflation, or monetary tightening cycles. International institutions such as the IMF and World Bank rely on CPI trends to forecast global growth and recommend policy adjustments. Future of CPI: Adapting to a Changing Economy As consumption habits evolve, CPI calculations must also adapt. The rise of digital goods, subscription services, and AI-driven economies is reshaping how statisticians define the “consumer basket.” Future CPI methodologies may include: Real-time price tracking using big data and AI Regional CPI dashboards for urban and rural contrasts Inclusion of environmental costs and green inflation (the impact of climate policies on prices) Better adjustments for technological improvements Such innovations will make CPI a more accurate, dynamic, and inclusive measure of global inflation. Conclusion: The Global Significance of CPI The Consumer Price Index is more than just a number; it is the heartbeat of the world economy. It influences how central banks set interest rates, how investors allocate capital, how governments plan budgets, and how families manage their daily expenses. Understanding CPI is crucial not only for economists but for anyone navigating an interconnected global economy. Whether inflation is surging or stabilizing, CPI tells the story of how value, consumption, and confidence move together in shaping our economic future. In a world of shifting trade patterns, volatile energy markets, and evolving digital economies, CPI remains the compass that helps policymakers, businesses, and citizens alike find direction amid economic uncertainty.

High CPI, Higher Markets: America’s Paradox of ConfidenceBy Giorgalexis The CPI is high, inflation refuses to die — yet Wall Street keeps climbing. Indices sit at all-time highs, the Fed is signaling possible rate cuts, and investors keep chanting the same mantra: “We’re Americans. We can handle everything.” Soft landing? ✅ Unemployment at 4.3%? “Totally fine.” AI-driven construction and growth? “The new frontier.” The narrative feels bulletproof — or at least that’s what we want to believe. The Illusion of Strength In global negotiations, a falling market equals weakness. No U.S. president wants to appear vulnerable, especially with geopolitical rivals watching. When the S&P 500 is breaking records, America looks unstoppable — confident, dominant, secure. So everything must happen before the cracks start to show. But illusions don’t last forever. The Secret Recession Beneath the headlines, the economy tells a different story. Corporate margins are thinning, credit card delinquencies are creeping higher, and consumer sentiment is quietly deteriorating. Liquidity is evaporating for small businesses, even as megacaps report “record profits.” Everyone feels the slowdown — yet few are willing to admit it. This is the Secret Recession: a quiet contraction hiding behind the noise of a bullish market. The Gold Paradox Even gold has joined the party — trading at all-time highs while stocks do the same. That’s not normal. Gold usually shines when fear dominates, not when markets are euphoric. When both gold and equities rise together, it signals a market that’s swimming in liquidity but drowning in doubt. Investors are hedging against something — maybe inflation that never really went away, maybe a Fed policy mistake, or maybe the silent recognition that global stability is more fragile than it looks. Central banks keep buying gold, the dollar stays firm, and everyone pretends it’s business as usual. But every ounce of gold at record highs is a vote of no-confidence — not in America’s power, but in its sustainability. The Paradox of Confidence The Fed faces a dangerous equation: Cut rates too soon, and inflation re-ignites. Hold them too high, and growth breaks. Yet markets have priced in both — strong growth and imminent easing. It’s a fantasy of eternal expansion. AI will save productivity, rates will drop, earnings will rise, and geopolitics will magically calm down. Until data proves otherwise. Because once the market starts doubting the narrative, once data becomes stronger than politics, the illusion fades — fast. How Long Can It Last? For now, momentum is on America’s side. Global capital still wants to flow into the U.S. China and Russia may challenge the order, but Wall Street remains the global benchmark for optimism. Still, confidence is not infinite. Markets rise on belief — and collapse on doubt. Gold already senses what equities refuse to see. Final Thought As traders, we live for momentum. But even the strongest trend hides a reversal point. When optimism turns into policy, and markets become diplomacy, it’s only a matter of time before reality reclaims the chart.

Watch for broadening pattern and fakeouts, but the big tell with this market pushing for more upside is the massive drop in VIX last week and once again flirting with all-time highs Thanks for watching!!! -Chris

S&P 500 back at 6750 resistance *TRUMP: MAYBE MEETING WON'T HAPPEN WITH XI That was enough to cause the S&P to give up its earlier modest gains, as the index traded near an all-time high and resistance around 6750 where it had struggled in recent weeks. At the time of writing, it was bouncing back again, but let's see what it wants to do around 6750 now. A couple of Fridays ago it tumbled from around this area when Trump re-ignited trade war concerns, before the usual TACO trade caused the index to bottom and make back all of its losses. Now we are back to square one. Let's see if Trump will use the higher stock prices as a vote of confidence to up the pressure on China ahead of the trade truce deadline. In any case, the bears will need to see a clear reversal pattern, before entertaining the idea of shorting what has been a very strong bull market. But like we saw in the case of gold and silver, market don't always go up in a straight line. Profit-taking ahead of earnings and trade deadline could shake things up a little.

SPX500 Blueprint Confirms a Bullish Flow Reversal!🏃‍♂️💨 SPX500 Heist: The Bullish Getaway Plan! (Swing Trade Blueprint) The market's pulling back, but the big money is still accumulating! We've spotted a bullish setup on the SPX500, and we're planning a strategic "thief-style" entry to catch the next leg up. This isn't a reckless smash-and-grab; it's a calculated heist. 🗿 📊 The Master Plan: Technical Blueprint Direction: 🟢 BULLISH Trend Confirmation: Strong bullish structure confirmed by the Triangular Moving Average (TMA). Entry Signal: We're looking for a retest and bounce from the Simple Moving Average (SMA), suggesting the pullback is a healthy accumulation phase before the next move higher. 🎯 The Heist Strategy: Execution & Logistics 🚪 Entry Protocol: "Layered Limit Orders" We're not chasing the price. We're setting traps! Using a layered limit order strategy to average into the trade at key levels. Suggested Buy Zones (Layer Your Orders): Layer 1: 6780 Layer 2: 6760 Layer 3: 6740 Layer 4: 6700 Feel free to adjust the number of layers and levels based on your own risk appetite. 🚨 Escape Route: Stop Loss Every good thief has an exit plan if the heist goes south. Stop Loss (The Getaway Car): A break below 6680 suggests the plan is invalid. This is our "abort mission" signal. ⚠️ Note to the Thief OG's: This is my planned SL. You are the master of your own capital. Manage your risk accordingly! 💰 Profit Target: Cashing the Loot We're aiming for a major resistance zone where the "police" (sellers) are likely waiting. Take Profit Target: 6900 Why here? This area acts as a strong technical resistance, potentially an overbought trap. Our goal is to escape with the profits before any reversal! ⚠️ Note to the Thief OG's: This is my target. You can take money off the table whenever you see fit. Partial profits are always a smart move! 🔍 Related Markets to Watch AMEX:SPY (SPDR S&P 500 ETF): The direct ETF tracker. Moves in near-perfect correlation. CME_MINI:ES1! (S&P 500 E-mini Futures): The futures market often leads the price action in the index. /ES (Micro E-mini S&P 500 Futures): A smaller contract size with the same directional bias. NASDAQ:NDX (Nasdaq 100 Index): Often moves in tandem with the SPX; a strong NDX can pull SPX higher. TVC:DXY (US Dollar Index): A strong inverse correlation. A weaker Dollar is generally bullish for US equities. ✨ Key Takeaways Strategy: Bullish Swing Trade on a pullback. Method: Layered limit order entries for optimal average price. Catalyst: TMA & SMA support holding as accumulation zones. Goal: Capture the move towards 6900 resistance. ✨ “If you find value in my analysis, a 👍 and 🚀 boost is much appreciated — it helps me share more setups with the community!” Hashtags: #SPX500 #TradingSetup #SwingTrading #US500 #TradingPlan #Bullish #MarketAnalysis #TechnicalAnalysis #TradingView #ThiefStrategy

W Pattern In SPX/USD Good day or night fellow traders and followers! I see a W pattern on the 4hr chart in SPX/USD. Who wants to make around 176 points? I know I do so if price can break out over the break-line @ 6,691.6 then it's going to 6868.9 area like it or not, as it looks like Institutional buying coming in. Follow the rules wait for 4hr chart to show price clearing the break-line on a 4hr candle close before going long. Don't bother with chop if it occurs. Waiting is the stress free way to insure direction. Best of luck in all your trades $$$

5 Essentials of Trading Success Trading is the greatest roller coaster you’ll ever ride. Trading has its thrills, challenges, and endless potential for growth. But, before you hit “Buy” or “Sell,” it’s crucial to lay down a solid foundation. Too many traders jump in without preparation, and without knowing the real life variables. When things go great, they feel normal and you feel in charge. When things go bad, you feel it’s the end of the world. So you need to learn to harness each of the 5 essentials to trading success. Essential #1: Build a Solid Foundation of Knowledge You wouldn’t drive a car without knowing the rules of the road, right? Trading is no different. Before placing your first trade, you’ll need to understand the key concepts and market basics that will serve as your roadmap. Key areas to cover include: Market types: Know the difference between stocks, forex, commodities, and cryptocurrencies. Know which is the best stock screener. Also you need to know which markets will work for you and your trading personality. Trading terminology: Terms like “bearish,” “bullish,” “short-selling,” “leverage,” and “margin” might sound like jargon now, but they’ll soon become your everyday vocabulary. Order types: Limit orders, market orders, stop-loss, take-profit. Each of these orders serves a specific purpose. Mastering them is essential for making controlled and effective trades. Essential #2: Select what you want to trade first: The Art of Asset Allocation Trading is thrilling, but let’s face it. No one knows what the market will do tomorrow. That’s why choosing the right mix of assets—and learning the art of asset allocation—is crucial for long-term success. What does asset allocation mean in practice? Diversify your portfolio: Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Invest and trade across different asset classes to spread out risk. It’s better to trade different portfolios with stocks, Forex, indices and even commodities. Successful trading isn’t about picking one “winning” asset. It’s about managing risk and creating a balanced portfolio that can weather market storms. Diversification is KEY! Essential #3: Risk Management: Strategies to Protect Your Capital If you only remember one thing from this article, let it be this: Risk management is your best friend in trading. Not only do you learn how to be a trader, but also a risk portfolio manager. A smart trader doesn’t only think about potential gains—they think about how to protect their capital when things don’t go as planned. Simple, powerful ways to manage risk include: Set stop-loss orders: Automatically sell a position when it drops to a certain price to minimize losses. Use position sizing: Avoid putting too much of your capital into a single trade. Limit each trade to a small percentage of your total funds—usually no more than 0.5%-2%. Apply the “2% rule”: Never risk more than 2% of your capital on a single trade. This can help prevent one loss from wiping out your progress. Remember, every trader has losses; it’s part of the game. But with a solid risk management strategy, those losses won’t be catastrophic. Essential #4: Charting the Path: Introduction to Technical Analysis Charts are a trader’s treasure map. Learn to interpret them, and you’ll have insights into market trends, price movements, and potential buy/sell signals. Technical analysis allows traders to make data-driven decisions rather than relying on gut feelings. Key tools for technical analysis: Candlestick patterns: These can show trends, reversals, and market sentiment. Patterns like “doji,” “hammer,” and “engulfing” candles can offer powerful insights. Indicators: Tools like moving averages, RSI (Relative Strength Index), and MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) help you assess price momentum and potential reversal points. As you might know by now. I like to stick to three indicators: Breakout patterns, 2 Moving Averages and Trend lines. We need to learn to simplify our strategy because we will be following it over our entire trading career. Trendlines: Drawn on charts, trendlines reveal price direction and potential breakout or breakdown levels. Essential #5: The Psychology of Success: Developing a Trader’s Mindset Trading isn’t just about strategies and technical skills; it’s also a mental game. Emotions—fear, greed, EGO, frustration — can interfere with sound decision-making. If you can’t manage your mind, you can’t manage your portfolio. And that’s why it’s essential to develop a mechanical, professional and calm mind when trading. Developing a disciplined mindset is what separates successful traders from those who burn out. Conclusion Let’s sum up the 5 ESSENTIALS to trading success. Essential #1: Knowledge First: Understand trading terminology, market types, and order types. Essential #2: Asset Allocation: Diversify your portfolio based on your risk profile. Essential #3: Risk Management: Protect your capital with stop-losses, position sizing, and the 2% rule. Essential #4: Technical Analysis: Learn chart patterns, indicators, and trendlines to guide decisions. Essential #5: Trader’s Mindset: Control emotions, maintain discipline, and focus on long-term success. Trading isn’t just a skill—it’s an adventure that rewards preparation, patience, and resilience. Keep learning, stay focused, and remember: your success is built one trade at a time.
