US500 trade ideas
4H IdeaThe only trade as of now would be a retest of old resistance/support. Have a stop under support area.
Entry 1 - would be a bit more aggressive as price moves into old resistance.
Entry 2 - enter as price moves towards the bottom of old resistance.
Entry 3 - would be entered as price starts to bounce from old resistance.
This would be the plan, however, the caveat is this: How did price get back to old resistance?
If price starts to build lower highs and lower lows as it moves back down then the plan may have to be scrapped as there is a higher potential for price to fail and begin to trend lower.
4H Played OutFirst entry retested and played out to the upside almost picture perfect. Again, would've possibly stopped you out on the first entry as it wicked below the support area, but upon a possible re-entry once it came back into support you would have made back that loss and then some.
2nd entry or possible add-on area. This was a bit more riskier as a 2nd entry due to price moving up from original entry. Price consolidated overnight and wicked down into the support area at Tuesday's market open. Buyers again stepped in and though there was drawdown, there was a fixed place to stop out below the consolidation area, so risk was known upon entry. 4 hour targets were hit.
There is no trade now until a retest or news to bring price down on the 4 hour time frame.
S&P500 bullish sideways consolidation Equities: Rate-cut expectations outweighed slowdown fears. S&P 500 (+0.21%) closed just shy of record highs, NASDAQ (+0.45%) hit a fresh record. Defensive sectors lagged, leaving the equal-weighted S&P (-0.04%) slightly lower. In Europe, STOXX 600 (+0.52%) and CAC 40 (+0.78%) gained ahead of France’s confidence vote.
Corporate drivers: Apple’s launch event today puts spotlight on iPhone 17 Air, though analysts see the Pro line as the true sales catalyst. Big-ticket M&A and tech deals: Anglo American–Teck merger ($50bn) and Microsoft–Nebius AI cloud contract (~$20bn).
Conclusion for S&P 500 trading:
Momentum remains positive with the index near record highs, supported by the rate-cut narrative and strong tech sentiment. However, breadth is weak (equal-weighted index flat), suggesting gains are concentrated. Traders may lean bullish into Apple’s event, but need to watch for rotation risk if defensives keep lagging.

S&P500 Rising Wedge break-out imminent.Last week's (September 02, see chart below) buy signal on the S&P500 index (SPX) hit our 6530 Target, as the price reversed on its 4H MA200, which as we mentioned was the market's medium-term Support:
Right now the index is supported by its 4H MA50 (blue trend-line) and is attempting to break above the top (Higher Highs trend-line) of a Rising Wedge similar to the one at the start of the 4-month Channel Up.
As you can see the symmetry between the two patterns is very high and the June break-out led to a +5.70% rise on the 2.5 Fibonacci extension before the next consolidation. A potential +5.70% rise from he recent 4H MA50 Low would now be at 6720 and that is our short-term Target.

SPX500 Holds Above 6,506 – Bulls Target 6,527/6,550SPX500 – Overview
The S&P 500 reached our target at 6,506 and is still pushing higher toward 6,527.
Technical Outlook:
📈 Bullish scenario: As long as price holds above 6,506, momentum is expected to continue toward 6,527 → 6,550.
📉 Bearish scenario: A confirmed 1H close below 6,506 would open the way to 6,490, with further downside risk toward 6,469.
Key Levels:
Pivot: 6,506
Resistance: 6,527 – 6,550
Support: 6,490 – 6,469
📌 Bias: Bullish while above 6,506; bearish momentum resumes only if price closes below this pivot.
previous idea:
SNP500 long target 6600.0weaker labor market data has boosted expectations of imminent Fed rate cuts, with markets pricing in a high chance of a September move that would ease financial conditions and support equities. Tech momentum—particularly Nasdaq strength and the addition of Robinhood and AppLovin to the S&P 500—is adding fuel, while investors also position ahead of key inflation data that could reinforce the dovish outlook. Institutional forecasts from Goldman Sachs and Evercore ISI projecting further upside into year-end and beyond have strengthened confidence, making futures an attractive, liquid, and leveraged way to gain exposure to the anticipated rally
4h Retest and TargetThe S&P had broken above a point where sellers came in previously, but could not push price down, hence the consolidation where the red and green boxes are drawn. Price came back down, tested the previous consolidation area, buyers stepped in and price held. (Looking at the wick, it's possible to have entered and been stopped out, but as it moved back up, could've looked for a re-entry and stop below the wick)
Friday had its push up, consolidated, and so far on Monday has held its gains. If I were in at the retest area, this new consolidation area is where I'd put my stop and use previous all time highs as the target.
S&P 500 | Rising Wedge at Highs – April VWAP in FocusThe S&P 500 has been climbing inside a rising wedge pattern, often seen as a sign that momentum is slowing down. At the same time, the RSI is showing lower highs, which hints at weakening strength behind the move.
Right now, the market feels like it’s waiting for a spark. That spark could come from the macro side — whether it’s rising bond yields making stocks look less attractive, political and trade policy uncertainty shaking confidence, or fresh worries about how much longer central banks can keep rates high. Any of these could act as the trigger for a break.
If the wedge breaks to the downside, the first key area to watch is the anchored VWAP from the April lows. That level has the potential to act as a support zone, since it represents where buyers stepped back in during the last big turnaround after the tariff scare.
For now, it’s a case of patience and levels: wedge support on the downside, VWAP from April as the bigger decision point.

S&P500 | 100 year bullish channel | GTradingMethodHello Traders - Happy Monday!
I thought this was a very interesting perspective on S&P500.
What they don’t want you to see... 👀
The S&P has been moving inside a bullish channel for nearly 100 years (since 1925).
Right now, price is breaking out of that channel but is it fakeout?
If it’s a fakeout, the implications are huge: we could be looking at a 70% drop back to the bottom of the channel.
⚠️ Chart is on the monthly timeframe with a logarithmic scale.
What do you think — breakout or fakeout? Very keen to hear all your thoughts

SPX500 Awaits Breakout – Key Levels 6,506 & 6,486SPX500 – Overview
The S&P 500 is holding above the 6,490 pivot, with short-term momentum favoring a retest of 6,506.
Technical Outlook:
📈 Bullish scenario: While above 6,490, price is expected to test 6,506. A confirmed breakout above this level would extend upside toward 6,527 → 6,550.
📉 Bearish scenario: A confirmed 1H close below 6,486 would open the way to 6,469, with further downside toward 6,425 if that level breaks.
Key Levels:
Pivot: 6,490
Resistance: 6,506 – 6,527 – 6,550
Support: 6,469 – 6,453 – 6,425
2h timeframe (SPCFD index, looks like US500 / S&P CFD).This is a 2h timeframe (SPCFD index, looks like US500 / S&P CFD).
Current price is around 6,403.
I have drawn a falling trendline from July, and price is now near the lower zone.
There’s also volume profile (VPVR) on the right side, showing key liquidity zones.
A target point is marked below, around the 6,200 level.
📌 Target Zone:
My chart suggests a downside target around 6,200 (highlighted with the blue arrow).
⚠ Notes:
If 6,400 support breaks clearly, sellers may push toward 6,300 → 6,200.
But if price reclaims above 6,480–6,500, the short-term bearish setup could fail, and we may see a bounce.
👉 Immediate target: 6,200
👉 Stop-loss to watch (invalidating short): above 6,500
