Correction down and up again for SPX500USDHi traders,
Last week SPX500USD slowly went up some more and took the liquidity above.
Now it made a Weekly bullish FVG.
So nNext week we could see a correction downto fill this and after that more upside for this pair.
Let's see what the market does and react.
Trade idea: Wait for a correction down. After a change in orderflow to bullish you could trade longs.
This shared post is only my point of view on what could be the next move in this pair based on my technical analysis.
But I react and trade on what I see in the chart, not what I've predicted or expect.
Don't be emotional, just trade your plan!

US500: Inflation Focus Keeps Momentum in Check
The US500 (S&P 500 index) is trading just below its record high, reflecting a constructive sentiment that anticipates potential easing from the Fed and a seasonal 'Santa rally'. Investors, however, are showing caution ahead of key US inflation data.
Fundamental Analysis
Markets are concentrating on the delayed PCE Inflation Report , the Fed’s preferred measure, to confirm expectations for a rate cut and subsequent easing in 2026. Futures pricing shows a high probability of a 0.25% cut at the upcoming Fed meeting, which supports risk assets like the US500. Recent mixed labor figures, rising job cut announcements but low weekly Jobless Claims support a 'cooling, not collapsing' growth narrative, which generally favors equity markets.
Technical Analysis
US500 maintains a technically bullish posture, trading well above its EMA21 and EMA78, confirming a strong prevailing uptrend. However, the RSI is nearing overbought levels, which increases the risk of a consolidation. Immediate resistance sits at 6,920, close to the recent peak. Intraday support clusters in the 6,820–6,840 area , with stronger support at 6,730.
Outlook
If US500 closes above 6,920, the price might prompt a push toward the next target at 7,000. Conversely, a drop below the major support at 6,730 could lead US500 to retest the following support at 6,650.
Analysis by Terence Hove, Senior Financial Markets Strategist at Exness.
Global Risk-On vs Local Weakness – Dec 4th Market Outlook 1) Macro Overview – Capital Rotation into AI, Gold, Tech, Crypto
High-confidence signals:
Fed rate cut probability: 87–90%
DXY downtrend: bullish for Gold, EM equities, crypto
U.S. 10Y yield: ~4.08% (stable, risk-on supportive)
Sentiment: Risk-on (score 7/10)
China stimulus: supports base metals & commodities
Market interpretation:
Lower yields + weaker USD → capital rotates into AI, semiconductors, gold, growth stocks, and selective crypto.
2) BIST100 – Global Rally, but Local Divergence
Despite positive global momentum, BIST underperforms due to domestic structural factors.
Why BIST is lagging:
Persistent equity fund outflows (TEFAS)
High real interest rates → pressure on industrial margins
Weak liquidity & fragmented flows
Foreign positioning still limited
Key Technical Levels (High SEO weight)
Support: 11,000 → 10,900
Resistance: 11,200 → 11,300–11,350
Bias: Selective bullish, not broad-based
Strong sectors:
Banks (AKBNK, YKBNK, GARAN)
Gold miners (KOZAL)
Defensive Energy (TUPRS, AKSEN)
Exporters (TOASO, FROTO)
Weak areas:
High-debt industrials
Low-liquidity midcaps
Stories dependent on short-term sentiment
3) U.S. Stock Market – AI & Semiconductors Remain the Core Trend
S&P 500 (~6,849) and Nasdaq futures continue to price a soft landing narrative.
Leading themes (SEO keywords):
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Semiconductors
Cloud Infrastructure
HealthTech
Institutional view:
AI remains the dominant macro-theme for Q4 and early 2026.
4) Gold, Commodities & Crypto – Trend Continuation
Gold (XAUUSD / XAUTRY)
Spot: ~4,200
Strong uptrend, supported by:
• weak USD
• geopolitical risk
• lower real yields
Mid-term targets: 4,500 – 5,000
(This is heavily searched; TradingView pushes such ranges upward.)
Bitcoin (BTCUSD) – Volatile Bullish Structure
BTC trades near 93,000, bouncing strongly from the 88k–90k demand zone.
ETF inflows (~$222M) confirm institutional participation.
Market structure: higher lows forming, but volatility remains elevated.
Altcoin radar (high-engagement tags):
SOL, SUI, ONDO, FET
→ selective rallies, no broad alt-season yet.
5) Ordo618 Strategy Playbook – Actionable Plan
Short-Term Trading (Index/Futures)
BIST30 December Futures:
Bias: Bullish above 12,000
Buy Zone: 12,000 – 12,250
Targets: 12,500 → 12,600
Invalidation: below 11,950 / 12,150
Portfolio Positioning (Global Audience SEO)
Equities (Turkey):
Prefer banks & exporters
Wait for pullbacks before adding size
Thematic Funds / ETFs:
AI, Tech, Semiconductors
Renewable/Green Energy
Hedging:
10–15% exposure to Gold (XAUTRY or XAUUSD)
Crypto Allocation:
BTC core, ETH secondary
Altcoins max 5% of total book
6) Key Risks – What Can Break the Trend
Local Risk:
Prolonged equity fund outflows → structural sell pressure on BIST.
Global Risk:
If U.S. macro weakens too quickly → soft landing narrative flips into hard landing fears → global risk-off.
Protection Strategy:
Keep 15–20% cash buffer
Strict stop-loss discipline
Hold a Gold hedge
Avoid overleverage
Revisiting Market Views: Lessons from the S&PRecently, our view was that the S&P would remain supported by the 55-day moving average. Yet, the market traded below, closed below, and then staged a strong rebound back above that level.
Looking closer, the bounce appears to have come from the base of the daily cloud — a critical support area around 6521. As long as this low holds, upside momentum remains intact, with potential to retest the October high at 6920.
That said, our long-term perspective hasn’t changed: the index is approaching the top of a very long-term up channel, with limited upside capped near 7,300.
Where does this leave us?
• Upside momentum is intact
• Risk/reward doesn’t justify new longs
• No reason to cut existing longs
• No reason to go short — the market still looks bid
In short: patience and discipline matter. Sometimes the best trade is no trade. Not trading advice, personal view and meant for education only.
SPX WEEK 48 — Strong Bounce Into Year-End! 2026 BULL RUN COMING?Strong week for the SP:SPX index. After two weeks of hesitation candles, price finally shifted back into strength and pushed decisively higher. This week’s candle not only reclaimed momentum but fully erased last week’s cooling-off behavior.
Price also moved well above the key mid-range levels that traders usually watch to define trend health. It’s now sitting firmly above the major risk zone and continues building distance away from it — a clear sign of strength. From the moment this week’s upside break triggered, the index has gained roughly 1.9%, and that kind of move typically translates into solid returns for options traders playing directional setups.
Major support zones sit lower around 5900, 5100, and the deeper structural support near 4000. As long as price holds above the upper layers of support, momentum remains intact.
On the higher-timeframe monthly chart, the trend has been active for eight straight months with no signs of exhaustion. Price is still far above the level where the monthly trend began, and even further above the long-term midline — showing how dominant the larger trend still is.
The 2-day chart continues to support the overall bullish structure, breaking above short-term levels and maintaining strength after multiple confirmations earlier in the week.
This week was a clean continuation of the broader uptrend — strong candle, strong momentum, and strong positioning above every major structural region.
Elite clarity. Elite precision. More coming soon.

SP500: Ready to Break Out and Forge New All-Time Highs S&P 500 indicates that the recent complex downward correction is complete, having bottomed at 6501.7.
The market is currently rallying and is testing the major upper trendline resistance. The analysis projects a minor, temporary pullback to gather momentum, potentially to the 6775.0 area. Following this consolidation, a decisive breakout above the trendline is anticipated. This will confirm the launch of a major new upward wave, expected to drive the S&P 500 to new all-time highs above 6928.
Stay Tuned :)
@Money_Dictators
End of bull cycle targeting 7440 then bear market target 3400 In my view we're still in the bullish cycle started in 2020, my final target is 7440 area.
From that area I expect the beginning of the market bearish cycle.
On the monthly chart we can see an H&S pattern forming and a neckline supporting the bullish trend from 2020, I expect the break of the trendline in the next 3 months my target is 3420 area next autumn.
A Storm Is Coming?Core Thesis: The market is colossally underestimating the risk of a deliberate US dollar devaluation. Contrary to popular belief, a weaker dollar in this specific context will not boost risk assets but will instead be the source of massive volatility, potentially exceeding 2008. The collapse will come from the unwinding of a global dollar-centric carry trade.
The Pillars of the Storm:
The Structural Imbalance (The Fuel):
The US, as the world's largest importer, sends dollars abroad. To maintain their export-oriented economies, foreigners reinvest these dollars into US assets (especially the top 7 S&P 500 stocks).
This has created a structural "carry trade": global investors are overexposed to US assets and, trusting that the dollar rallies in crises (like 2008), do not hedge their currency risk.
This continuous flow is a primary reason for extreme US equity market valuations. Global liquidity, not just fundamentals, has inflated prices.
The Trump Agenda (The Trigger):
The Trump administration is actively pursuing a weaker dollar to gain an upper hand in the economic conflict with China, using tariffs as leverage.
Since Trump took office, we have already seen episodes where the dollar and stocks sell off simultaneously – a warning sign that the traditional correlation is breaking.
The Federal Reserve (The Accelerator):
Trump needs a dovish Fed to weaken the dollar. The appointment of Steven Miran to the Fed, with his interest rate projections 100bps below other members, is a clear signal of this direction.
A new Fed Chair, more aligned with Trump, will likely take over in 2026 to implement a more aggressively accommodative monetary policy.
The Crisis Mechanism:
The trap is set in the following scenario:
The Fed cuts rates aggressively to weaken the dollar, following Trump's agenda.
The dollar devalues significantly.
For a foreign investor, the return is: (S&P 500 Return) + (FX Change). With the dollar falling, their gains are eroded or turn into losses.
This triggers a mass exodus of these foreign investors, who start selling US assets to protect their returns.
The selling is amplified by the structural fragility: everyone is positioned the same way. Liquidity evaporates.
Panic sets in when the typical "Fed put" (intervention to save the market) fails, because more liquidity injected by the Fed would depress the dollar even further, amplifying the equity selloff instead of containing it.
Warning Signals to Monitor:
Primary Signal: Equity selling occurring simultaneously with a depreciating dollar.
Confirmation Signal: A rise in implied volatility (skew) in the currency market.
Market Signal: Underperformance of high-beta and low-quality stocks, indicating that risk capital flows are drying up.
Critical Signal: Any Fed intervention that, instead of calming the market, causes an even larger selloff in the dollar and stocks.
Current Positioning & Conclusion:
In the short term, the author maintains long positions in equities, gold, and silver, as liquidity tailwinds are still favorable. However, the storm is forming. The market is as complacent about a weak dollar as it was about mortgages in 2007. When the signals above flash, indicating that cross-border flow risk is materializing, it will be time to position defensively: short equities, long volatility, and short the US dollar.
The crisis is not a matter of "if," but "when" these structural flows begin to reverse. Awareness of this mechanism is the single greatest edge an investor can have today.
Looking at SPX on a Large Timeframe Post the 08 market crash price has accelerated very fast away from the trend line I have drawn in white. Is it following another trend like the one drawn in dotted green, or will a retest of the white line come.
It is more likely in my opinion that it follows the green curve up as a drop like that would be a massive bubble pop.
See how it unfolds
Monthly timeframe
US500 - Breakout to New All-Time Highs!US500 suggests the market has put a definitive end to its recent downward movement, signaling that a major bullish trend is set to continue. This complex correction, which the chart labels as complete at the 6506.8 low, looks resolved. The index has since staged a powerful rebound and is currently pressing right up against the major upper trendline resistance, which defined the limits of the entire corrective phase.
A clear and sustained move above this key trendline will provide final confirmation that the correction is over and that a significant new upward wave has begun. The previous area of congestion around 6760 is now expected to act as strong support for the index, preventing any minor pullbacks from turning into a deeper decline. With the current price around 6,812.61 and the all-time high at 6,920.34 , the index is technically well-positioned to challenge and surpass this record high soon.
Hindenburg Omen Is Flashing AgainThe Hindenburg Omen has triggered, and it’s lining up with what the market breadth data has been whispering for months. If you look at the bottom pane, you’ll see the percentage of stocks above their major moving averages has been sliding for about six months.
So even though the index has kept pushing to new highs, fewer stocks are moving with it. A small group of mega-caps is doing all the heavy lifting, while the broader market slowly weakens underneath.
Historically, that’s exactly the kind of environment where the Hindenburg Omen becomes relevant. It doesn’t promise a crash, but it flags when internal conditions have deteriorated enough to allow one. Several past signals have occurred before meaningful corrections.
Why This Matters Now
The next couple of weeks are important. CPI, PPI and labour data between now and 10 December will shape expectations heading into the FOMC meeting. If the Fed changes tone on monetary policy, liquidity, or the path of rates, it will feed directly into sector rotation and capital flows.
That’s why I’m not committing to any major trades right now. The signals are mixed, breadth is weakening, leadership is narrow and policy risk is rising. Capital preservation comes first until we get a clear direction from the data and the Fed.
Sometimes the smartest move is patience. Let the data confirm the story. The market isn’t going anywhere.
SP500 Bullish Divergence Detected (SPY)Bullish divergence of the SP500 and NYSE Advance Decline Line (ADL) is one of the most powerful and reliable "leading" indicators available. Here we see the ADL make a new high (a higher high) while the SP500 does not make a new high. This divergence indicates that market breadth is markly improving, which will ultimately drive the SP500 up to new all time highs in the coming weeks or months.
I am well aware of discussions about bubble fears and valuation concerns. It's important to note that the market can continue to increase for some time even with these concerns, so it would be a mistake to get out of or short the market at this time. Also, the technicals are pointing higher, not lower.
As long as this train keeps chugging, we should stay on this ride! Go long on SPY, VOO, QQQ!!!
SPX Gann BoxUpdated Gann BOX Fibonacchi Levels for upcoming SPX correction/wave down.
Horizontal levels mark possible price targets at fibonacchi numbers with a horizontal support. Vertical levels show time targets at fibonacchi numbers. Current move went up to .618 and .786 levsl, that indicates us a price target at 2.618 or 2.786 would be likely as well.
US inflation makes its return this Thanksgiving week!For several weeks, financial markets have been operating with reduced visibility. The reason: the latest U.S. shutdown, which paralyzed part of the federal administration and caused an exceptional delay in the publication of numerous major macroeconomic statistics. Yet these figures, usually released according to a precise schedule, form the analytical backbone for investors and for the Federal Reserve (Fed). The situation should finally normalize during this Thanksgiving week, with a long-awaited catch-up, particularly regarding PCE inflation, the Fed’s preferred inflation indicator.
One of the most notable delays concerns the Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) series. The September report, originally scheduled for October 3, was only released last Thursday. The November report, normally published in early December, will not appear until December 16—after the Fed’s December 10 meeting. These delays are due to the need for U.S. statistical agencies to rebuild their data and validation processes after several weeks of forced shutdown.
But the central focus of market attention remains the PCE (Personal Consumption Expenditures) index for October, a key figure for anticipating the Fed’s monetary stance at its December 10 meeting. This report was expected at the end of October under the standard Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) timeline. Now, several converging sources indicate a release expected this week, likely on November 25 and 26, as agencies finalize their revised calendar. It is therefore during Thanksgiving week that investors will finally receive these crucial numbers.
The uncertainty does not end there. Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI) reports for September and October have also been delayed. Markets now anticipate publication “late November to early December,” giving agencies time to fully adjust their distribution processes.
Some components of the PPI, particularly for September, may be released as soon as November 25, with remaining figures following shortly after.
This major catch-up comes at a decisive moment. With the Fed set to decide on December 10 about a potential adjustment to its monetary policy, every inflation data point carries considerable weight. The PCE numbers, in particular, will provide a clearer snapshot of price dynamics during the autumn, and therefore of the central bank’s room for maneuver should it consider a 0.25% rate cut.

SPX : Potential Zweig Breadth ThrustThe Breadth Thrust Indicator is a technical indicator that looks at how many stocks advance vs. decline over 10 days.
When it snaps from around 0.40 to above about 0.615 in 10 trading days or less, that’s called a Zweig Breadth Thrust and has historically lined up with strong bull runs more often than not.
Historically it doesn’t happen often, but when it does, forward returns over the next several months have usually been positive, which is why traders get excited when the line on your chart surges like this.
Historically, once a full thrust has triggered, the index has often been higher 6–12 months later in the majority of cases.
S&P 500 Daily Chart Analysis For Week of Nov 28, 2025Technical Analysis and Outlook:
In this abbreviated weekly trading session, influenced by a significant U.S. holiday and a cooling issue at the CyrusOne data centers at CME, the S&P 500 Index posted notable gains, reaching our primary target, the Mean Resistance at 6,849.
At present, this position suggests the potential for further upward movement, with primary targets established for a continuation of the robust trend toward Key Resistance at 6,895, followed by an extended target identified as the Outer Index Rally at 6,945.
Nevertheless, it is crucial to recognize that, given the prevailing market dynamics, there exists a considerable likelihood of an In-Force pullback from the aforementioned price targets.
SP500 short-term consolidation renewed bullish strength.SP500 has rebounded strongly from the recent demand zone near 6,630–6,650, showing a clear shift in momentum toward the upside. Price has broken out of the short-term consolidation, indicating renewed bullish strength.
Technically Price previously traded inside an ascending channel but recently dipped out after the drop, bulls stepped in at the demand zone and pushed price upward aggressively the current move suggests the market may attempt to re-test the upper levels.
If price sustains above this level, it confirms strong bullish continuation 68,00 to 69,05 This is the upper resistance zone from the previous highs a break above this area may open the door toward a new bullish wave.

🌍 CORRELATED PAIRS TO WATCH 🔗
📈 PRIMARY CORRELATIONS
1️⃣ QQQ (Nasdaq-100 ETF) - 0.99 Correlation 💻
This is the tech-heavy composition that typically leads SPX rallies. Current focus remains on AI/Mag7 momentum and overall growth stock sentiment. Key watch: QQQ strength = SPX bullish confirmation signal. When QQQ breaks out, SPX follows closely.
2️⃣ IWM (Russell 2000 ETF) - 0.95 Correlation 📍

S&P 500 Technical & Fundamental Outlook — Week of De 1–5 2025Technical Analysis Summary – SPX Compression Structure
SPX is currently trading inside a contracting price formation, defined by a descending resistance trendline from recent highs and a rising support trendline from the early Q4 low. This structure represents a period of market indecision and volatility compression, where buyers and sellers are positioning before a larger directional move.
Key Observations
The upper trendline marks repeated rejection points — this is a clear overhead supply zone.
The lower trendline shows higher lows forming — underlying demand is still present.
Price is compressing toward an apex, and historically, these structures lead to strong expansion once resolved.
Because of this setup, entries inside the wedge are high-risk and low-reward, as price tends to chop and trap both sides until a breakout or breakdown is confirmed.
Bullish Scenario
A bullish continuation requires:
A clean breakout above the descending trendline
A successful pullback that holds as support (higher low)
Continuation momentum
This would indicate that buyers have absorbed supply and are in control. Upside levels then open toward the previous reaction highs, and momentum buyers may accelerate the move.
Bearish Scenario
A bearish continuation is confirmed by:
A breakdown below the rising trendline
A failed retest of that area from below (lower high)
Increase in downside momentum or volume
This would signal that buyers have lost control of the trend, and trapped long positions above could fuel a deeper correction toward prior support levels.
Conclusion
The SPX is coiling inside a clear compression pattern.
The proper approach is to wait for the market to choose direction, then position after confirmation, not before.
This is a breakout-or-breakdown environment — not a place to trade the middle.The Market Is Rallying — BUT The AI Trade Is Fragile
Stocks rebounded hard this past week after the biggest pullback since April, mainly because:
Markets believe the Fed will cut in December (rate-cut odds jumped to 80%+).
BUT:
Mega-cap AI names remain volatile.
AI profitability narrative is being challenged.
This is the key line in the sand for SPX right now:
AI spending is massive, but profits are not yet confirmed.
That’s the reason NVDA + GOOGL are whipping around so violently.
⚠️ 2. The Narrative Shift You Must Watch
The market is shifting from "AI growth" → "AI returns".
Matthew Maley (Miller Tabak):
“The narrative surrounding the profitability of AI is coming under question.”
Translation for traders:
No longer enough to say “AI spending”.
Now the market wants proof of revenue + margins.
If that narrative worsens → SPX pressure.
This week was a warning shot:
Alphabet mooning on Gemini 3 news → “AI winner” narrative
Meta possibly buying Google chips → hurts NVDA
Semis shook → volatility in the core leadership names
If NVDA becomes an AI CAPEX victim instead of the bottleneck supplier → the entire AI bull leg changes.
📉 3. Bitcoin’s Slide = Waning Risk Appetite
Bitcoin fell from $125k → under $90k.
King Lip (BakerAvenue):
“Bitcoin serves as a risk proxy for equities.”
This matters because:
SPX often peaks when BTC momentum dies.
Risk is shifting from growth/AI → defensives/small caps.
Crypto weakness = risk appetite fading.
📈 4. SPX Context — This Is NOT a Crash, It’s a “Narrative Test”
SPX is +16% YTD heading into a historically strong window.
December is the 3rd-best month since 1950 (avg +1.43%)
Market is still at the ceiling:
SPX is only ~1% below its October ATH
Nasdaq is ~3% off its high
This is not bearish selling.
This is positioning + narrative testing.
🧠 5. What Is Hurting Tech Right Now
Two forces:
A. Timing of monetization
Companies spent hundreds of billions on training + infra.
But when do earnings arrive?
Nobody knows.
Paul Nolte:
“Investors are rethinking how quickly this will hit bottom lines.”
This is the heart of the SPX risk.
B. Tech Debt Issuances
Big AI names issued heavy debt to fund expansion.
This scares valuation models.
When the “future promises” trade meets balance sheet reality → rotations begin.
💵 6. Fed Cuts: The Bullish Counterweight
Traders now price:
80%+ odds of a December rate cut
This is huge because:
Cuts expand breadth in the SPX
Small caps, cyclicals, value names get oxygen
This is the exact reason SMID outperformed this week.
Anthony Saglimbene:
“What I’m watching is if rate cuts bring momentum outside of tech.”
This is literally the rotation we’ve been waiting for.
🏭 7. Macro Ahead — SPX Sensitivity
Next week will hit:
Manufacturing ISM
Services ISM
Consumer sentiment
CRM, DLTR, KR earnings (consumer health)
Holiday retail performance (Black Friday / Cyber Monday)
👉 But note: many core economic releases were delayed or cancelled due to the 43-day government shutdown.
Saglimbene:
“Investors will have to deal with the fog.”
This creates high headline volatility on SPX going into January.
🔑 8. THE REAL TAKEAWAY FOR SPX & NDX TRADERS
This is no longer a hype-cycle AI rally.
You must trade:
Earnings
Margin guidance
Capex-to-revenue timing
🎯 AI → cost center (now)
🎯 AI → profit engine (unknown)
As long as that uncertainty persists,
➡️ volatility in NVDA, AAPL, GOOG, MSFT, META remains
➡️ SPX stays sensitive at the highs
🧨 Trader-Level Summary (no commentator BS)
Bullish forces
Fed rate cut probability exploding higher
Seasonality (December = historically strong)
Market breadth improving beyond megacaps
Bearish forces
Bitcoin risk proxy collapsing
AI spending profitability questioned
Mega-cap tech debt issuance
“Infra first, profits later” fear
🔥 HOW TO TRADE THIS (S&P Focused)
Watch these 3 things every day:
1️⃣ NVDA price action
If NVDA cracks ↓ → SPX loses leadership.
2️⃣ Alphabet’s Gemini 3 momentum
If Gemini models take market share:
→ NVDA supply chain narrative fractures
→ Rotation to CPUs/TPUs → hurting semis
3️⃣ Bitcoin risk proxy
BTC < $90k = risk appetite unwinding
🏁 ONE SENTENCE THAT MATTERS
SPX is still bullish, but leadership is no longer unquestioned — AI profitability and risk appetite are now the drivers, not AI hype.
SP500 Resumes The Uptrend After Bears Stops At Key LevelUS stock market moved lower recently, and we’ve seen one of the biggest declines in the last few months, with lower highs and lower swing lows for the last couple of weeks, but there is still a chance that this is basically a diagonal formation on SP500, either in wave C or alternatively already in wave A or wave 1. But so far looks more like a completed C wave of a flat due to the current strong rebound, which can be the beginning of a new wave 5 headed towards new highs; What’s important in the near future, in our opinion, is that as long as the market trades above 6512 support, there is a real chance that there will be more upside in the near-term. At least three wave rally is what I would be looking for.
