If bullish momentum continue....So far Spy may be changing directions from the bearish momentum we were facing for the remainder of the week we will continue to look for bullish scalping opportunities and i will share my analysis.
Today caught a clean scalp from demand and Fib confluence
the setup was built on Demand, Fib, and strong bullish momentum
quick in and out.
Options Trader:)
SRD trade ideas
Scalp Trade
Price flushed down hard into demand and multiple timeframe demand zones overlap.
May take a quick bullish scalp today looking for confirmation on reversal on lower timeframes (15 - 5min) entry somewhere between 635 and 636 with a TP at 638.50.
Risk management due to high volatility around these zones
if price slices below 633.50 scalp will be invalidated and next leg may be lower.
look for next post for lower timeframe chart

SPY Daily – Bearish Setup Developing
Trend Structure
SPY recently printed a Higher High near 646 but failed to hold momentum.
Current structure remains bullish overall, but the short-term is weakening.
A break below 627 would put the Higher Low sequence at risk.
EMA Context
Price rejected under the 9 EMA, signaling short-term weakness.
The 35 EMA around 629–630 is the first key support.
The 100 EMA near 607 aligns with demand/FVG zones and represents a major inflection.
Targets
TP1: 633.77
TP2: 627.04
Invalidation
A daily close above 646 would negate the bearish bias and re-open upside continuation.
Bias
Short-term bearish, expecting tests of 633.77 and 627.04.
If 627 breaks, next levels are 614–607.
SPY – No hocus-pocus – Now the witch is hunting the bullsHappy Hump-Day y'all!
In the last post (see linked chart), I explained what the witch sees in the future.
A possible scenario that is long overdue: the markets are letting out air.
With the candles from yesterday and the day before, we have confirmation that the S&P 500 is heading south. That has consequences that not many want to see right now.
The bulls will be overrun, panic selling will kick in and drive the markets into the ground even faster. The current profit target is still the Centerline, as marked with the red arrow.
Whoever doesn’t cash in at least 50% of their gains now will end up in the witch’s cauldron §8-)
Let’s see how this develops.
The YT Video will be up tomorrow - gotta feed the witches cat §8-)
May the broom be with you!

🌍 Market-Moving News
Jackson Hole in focus; dollar firms. Traders lean ~84% odds of a 25bp cut in September; watch TVC:DXY vs. $SPY/ NASDAQ:TLT as Powell risk approaches.
Retail baton passes from HD to LOW/TGT. After HD’s hold-guidance rally, attention shifts to Lowe’s/Target for read-throughs on DIY vs. pro spend and tariff pass-through.
Risk tone jittery into minutes. Tech led a pullback Tuesday; positioning lightens ahead of Fed minutes and Jackson Hole.
📊 Key Data Releases & Events (ET)
7:00 AM — MBA Mortgage Applications (weekly). Prior: +10.9% w/w (8/13). Why it matters: housing demand pulse → rates/affordability → AMEX:XHB and growth tone.
10:30 AM — EIA Weekly Petroleum Status. Prior crude change: +3.036M bbl. Why it matters: oil balance → gasoline/diesel → inflation & AMEX:XLE path.
1:00 PM — U.S. 20-Year Treasury Auction. Typical close: 1:00 ET; also 17-week bill today. Why it matters: term-premium & risk appetite; tails/stop-throughs can shake $TLT/$TNX.
2:00 PM — FOMC Minutes (July 29–30). Watch for: depth of cut debate, tariffs → inflation, labor cooling. Why it matters: reprices path-of-rates across curve and equities.
Earnings (before open): LOW, TGT, TJX, ADI (+ others). Why it matters: U.S. consumer & capex reads; category mix shifts. Lowe’s call 9:00 AM.

Turnaround Tuesday? ✅ Morning Levels + Setup (Tues, Aug 20)
Could be, Monday gave us the setup.
I’m watching building permits at 8:30. If those come in hot, it’s a signal housing’s holding up → stronger consumer → rate hike odds perk up → possible dollar spike → pressure on QQQ.
VIX is still asleep at 14.98, but if that creeps over 16.50, tone changes fast. Complacency’s real ,use it.
SPY levels I care about today:
646.40 = upside line in the sand
642.50 = support to hold
638 / 632 = where I’d aim puts if things unwind
Not overthinking it, waiting for price to confirm.

SP500 ETF: Fibonacci MappingAs you may know, Williams Fractals indicator identifies potential reversal points by marking a high (or low) surrounded by two lower highs (or higher lows) on each side, forming a five-bar pattern that signals possible turning points in price. Unfortunately, the simplicity of such indicator provides just tiny perspective, undermining broad implication of the concept.
Before I begin diving into processing geometric narrative of emerging price via fibonacci channels, I want to explain how I interpret fractals.
When I use the term "fractal", I'm not just talking about the points alone. Market continuously corrects itself, so analyzing it by price alone can bring more confusion than help. The object of observation shouldn't be limited to quantifying just by a single property. Chaos by default requires awareness from both price and time aspects. The easiest way to root it in my vision was through realization that price is a function of trading time intervals. Its activity can be described as cyclical progression, as if it is wired by multiple "springs" of different tensions.
Classic TA patterns known to literally anyone are great for anticipating a move in surface level forecasts. Since my line of work focuses on prediction over forecasts, it requires deeper structural awareness behind complex oscillations.
Let's observe the way selloff scales from ATH and how it impacts fractal hierarchy.
The first corrective bullish wave can be explained as a reaction to initial impulsive bearish wave. The bigger scale drop from ATH to a lower point explains why the corrective bullish wave looks the way it is. And so on:
In fractals, scaling laws describe how key properties change with size, typically following power-law relationships that reflect the structure’s self-similarity, where a characteristic scales with the size raised to an exponent.
To build a probabilistic model, we must keep in mind how the smaller bits make up bigger scale picture. ATH, established bottom and angle of progression defined by pullback highs, all those points have structural weight. Since psychology of masses that shapes price dynamics is governed by mathematical sequences found in nature, it's fair to use Fibonacci Channels to map the geometry of interconnectedness.
Similarly, all of those points can be referred by another fibonacci channel with opposite direction.
From my perspective, traditional TA patterns reflect just phases of cycle, this is why I unify those fragments into broader scalable shapes. This distinctive branch of Fractal Analysis allows to track systematic aspects of market behavior and explains how a pattern replicates itself in rhythmic continuity.

SPY: Will Keep Falling! Here is Why:
Balance of buyers and sellers on the SPY pair, that is best felt when all the timeframes are analyzed properly is shifting in favor of the sellers, therefore is it only natural that we go short on the pair.
