$SPX: THIS PULLBACK FEELS DIFFERENTSP:SPX : Clearly, the bulls knew they couldn't allow a weekly close below the 10-week simple moving average, and they succeeded. Therefore, technically, the medium-term trend remains bullish. However, next week they must overcome the bearish connotations of the previous weekly Doji, which still linger. To do this, they need at least a weekly inside candle to counter the bearish attack, similar to the engulfing candle that formed four weeks ago and in mid-April. The stakes are high, and we'll see who comes on top. The RSI continues to show negative divergence and a narrowing range. My bet is bullish at the start of the week and then roll over (The risk is of a lower high until proven otherwise)

SPX 7000 by 11-20-2025Hello Traders,
Well the bull market continues. We just got done with a nice dip that bounced mid day Friday which appears to be a bottom. We also appear to have a bottom in BTC. I expect us to hit 7000 by 11-20-25..and could go higher before it consolidates into the next Fed decision but the direction is up.... The bull market continues... stay tuned!
Building Permits: the silent warning behind market cyclesU.S. Building Permits have historically acted as a leading indicator of economic slowdowns.
Each time construction activity cooled — in the 1970s, 2007, and again post-2021 — deep S&P 500 drawdowns followed shortly after.
Today, permits have fallen to 1.33M (−2.3%), while the S&P 500 remains near all-time highs with a minor −1.6% drawdown.
📊 Historically, this kind of divergence doesn’t last long.
When the real economy starts to weaken, the market usually follows.

SPX Digests the Highs SPX spent the last week and a half digesting the new all-time high, pulling back deeper than I expected but holding the weekly trend. Price found support at 6,632 and closed back inside the yellow zone where we’ve seen noise before.
This week I’m watching for one of these scenarios: a sideways reset that drifts higher, a cleaner rebound through the moving averages, or a retest of support with a possible shakeout toward 6,555 (weekly chart shows support for this so it could also be a positive week followed by a decline).
The broader uptrend structure is still intact, and I still have a bullish bias, but I will be more attentive of a retest and roll over. We declined about 4% from the ATH but have easily declined around 8% -10% on earlier digestions this year.
How to Trade the Double Top Pattern Like a ProHow to Trade the Double Top Pattern Like a Pro
The Double Top is one of the most reliable patterns in technical analysis. It often marks the beginning of a resistance zone and signals that bullish momentum is losing strength.
The first top is hard to anticipate, it’s usually just a continuation of the existing rally. But when the second top fails to break above the previous high, that’s when things get interesting . This failure creates a resistance level, and it’s the first warning sign that buyers may be running out of steam.
🔵 Why Do Double Tops Form?
There are usually two main reasons why a Double Top appears:
Profit-taking after a strong rally.Bulls start to lock in profits, causing the momentum to fade.
Lack of new buyers . Demand weakens, and bears begin to take control gradually.
Learning to tell which case you’re facing can help you decide whether it’s a great buying opportunity during a healthy pullback, or a signal to take profits, or even go short .
🧭 Step 1: How to Identify a Real Double Top
Before trading it, make sure it’s a true Double Top:
- Both peaks must form after a strong upward move . If the market was falling before, it’s not a classic pattern.
- The two tops should be at almost the same price level (no more than a 0.5% difference).
- The most important part is the neckline , the lowest point between the two tops.
That neckline defines whether the move is just a healthy pullback or the beginning of a new downtrend.
If the neckline doesn’t break, there is no Double Top yet.
The pattern is only confirmed after the neckline breaks downward.
💥 Step 2: Trading the Pattern
There are three main scenarios to understand:
1️⃣ A Confirmed Double Top (Breaks Down)
When the neckline breaks, the market often drops about 61.8% of the pattern’s height, with a probability above 70%.
A small pullback to retest the neckline is possible, but usually, the price won’t return to the previous highs.
A Double Top is spotted:
The neckline is broken:
A decline happens sharply:
2️⃣ A Fake Double Top (Break Fails)
If the price fails to break the neckline and instead makes new highs, it’s not a real Double Top.
This typically means we’re in a profit-taking phase, not a trend reversal.
In these cases, it’s often best to stay out, as the market tends to move sideways or show mixed signals.
A spotted double Top:
Fails to break down, instead breaks up:
The rally unfolds:
3️⃣ A Double Top Trap in a Strong Bull Market
Sometimes, a small break below the neckline triggers stops before the price explodes higher again.
These are common during powerful bull runs.
A spotted double Top:
The neckline is broken:
Inmediately the price reverse and break upwards.
The price rallies:
💲 Real Double Tops:
Theory is simportant, but let's go real!
A Double Top is now unfolding in Microsoft , and as you can see the neckline is almost there! Is this a signal? Wil a fake breakout occur? Are we witnesing the end of AI rally?
And some previous Double Tops:
❗ A final recommendation
Tradingview offers a great indicato r to Spot Double Top patterns easily.
Once you are in a chart, click on indicators and search Double Top Chart Pattern indicator. It's only for paid users and works fine!
Take a look how it spots the Double Top pattern and also gives you and idea of the posible target price!
Or the current one in NASDAQ:MSFT
In short:
Double Tops work roughly 70% of the time , but context matters.
They perform best in sideways or slowing markets, and are less reliable in strong rallies , where false breaks can easily trap traders.
Always confirm the neckline break, watch for volume, and never forget:
A pattern is just a probability, not a guarantee.
Up for SPX500USDHi traders,
Last week SPX500USD made a bigger correction down which invalidated my wavecount.
On Friday evening it started an impulsive move up.
So next week we could see more (corrective or impulsive) upside for this pair.
Let's see what the market does and react.
Trade idea: Wait for a correction down on a lower timeframe. 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!

sp500 4h🔹 Overall Outlook and Potential Price Movements
In the charts above, we have outlined the overall outlook and possible price movement paths.
As shown, each analysis highlights a key support or resistance zone near the current market price. The market’s reaction to these zones — whether a breakout or rejection — will likely determine the next direction of the price toward the specified levels.
⚠️ Important Note:
The purpose of these trading perspectives is to identify key upcoming price levels and assess potential market reactions. The provided analyses are not trading signals in any way.
✅ Recommendation for Use:
To make effective use of these analyses, it is advised to manually draw the marked zones on your chart. Then, on the 15-minute time frame, monitor the candlestick behavior and look for valid entry triggers before making any trading decisions.
SP500 is weak about to drop through trend line Fib 1.618 madeBearish set up, (following on from my other post where the price at the top of the market hit a fix 1.618 extension of the prior recent down move almost to the tick, which I told people about before it happened as a great potential inflection point) Yes I am short.
The trendline must hold for the bulls,
The OBV on balance volume suggests weakness in the index
Suggesting the trend line will not hold for long, unless buying comes in
Next stop back will be lower, most likely with bear market rallies
I think we will test 4800 again between now and end of next year.
If a sell off starts it could be extreme, the market is weak.
There are hardly any bears left, mutual funds have minimal cash on side lines left to buy.
Government shutdown in USA has woken people up to having not everything in the markets and need cash on hand to pay bills if they dont get paid by Government.
We are only down 4% from a potential top, imagine selling the top within 4% in a few years time that will be acceptable for most traders. Even as a hedge and to bank some of those gains.
If it turns out to be a top, just sell a few contacts each few until you build up a nice sized position. Watch out for bear market rallies. Ifs a bear they will be super sharp upside, and then you can sell them at size. Look back historically to see how much these bear market rallies rise,
I notice that you can draw a nice downside trend line in a bear market and just sell every time the price hits that trend line to be very well off if it turns out to be a bear. not advice only fictional trading, of those that work hard at trading to make theirs and others dreams come true. Be grateful that you saw this now and took the time to understand the risks and potential gains because it could change your life
S&P 500 Daily Chart Analysis For Week of Nov 7, 2025Technical Analysis and Outlook:
During the recent trading session, the S&P 500 Index experienced a notable decline, underscoring the significance of our key target, situated at the Mean Support level of 6,740. The index has now completed the Outer Index Dip at 6,642. This positioning indicates the potential for further upward movement, with the target established at the Mean Resistance level of 6,795. The prevailing trend suggests a well-structured extension towards the Key Resistance level of 6,893, with an ultimate target for the Outer Index Rally set at 7,110.
Nevertheless, it is crucial to acknowledge the possibility of a substantial drawdown in the forthcoming week’s trading session. This may lead to a retest of the Outer Index Dip at 6,642, possibly resulting in a further decline to the Mean Support level at 6,551 before ultimately resuming an upward trajectory.
S&P 500 — The Market Cycle Nears Its Turning PointS&P 500 Technical Outlook — The Market Cycle Nears Its Turning Point
Market Overview
The S&P 500 Index continues to follow its recurring market cycle pattern, which typically spans around 10–12 months.
After an impressive rally since mid-2024 that pushed the index to a new high near 6,900, early signs now suggest that the market may be entering the late stage of its uptrend cycle.
Momentum indicators have started to weaken, and profit-taking pressure is emerging — both of which are common signals seen before a mid-cycle correction phase begins.
Technical Analysis
1. Major Trend
The yellow trend lines highlight two major upward waves in this cycle.
Each rally ended with a 10–15% correction before the next advance.
Currently, the index is showing signs of exhaustion near the 6,900 resistance zone — marking a potential top for this cycle.
2. Repetitive Cycle Behavior
The blue dotted arcs represent cyclical market behavior seen repeatedly over the past few years.
If history rhymes, a sharp sell-off could occur around mid-December 2025, forming the next cycle low.
The projected downside target lies near 5,800–5,900, which could act as the base for the 2026 recovery phase.
3. Key Levels to Watch
Resistance: 6,800 – 6,900
Intermediate Support: 6,200
Major Support (Cycle Low Zone): 5,800 – 5,900
Forecaster’s View
“The S&P 500 is likely entering a mid-cycle correction phase after reaching its recent peak.
A sharp decline around mid-December 2025 could mark the turning point before a new accumulation phase begins in 2026.”
Strategic Outlook:
Short-Term Traders: Focus on the 6,200–6,800 range; avoid chasing strength near resistance.
Medium- to Long-Term Investors: Prepare to accumulate near 5,800, which could represent a cycle bottom for this phase.
Cycle Followers: Watch for capitulation or panic-selling around mid-December 2025, often a precursor to the next bullish cycle.
Summary
The current S&P 500 structure demonstrates a clear cyclical rhythm — every deep correction has historically paved the way for the next strong expansion.
If the December sell-off unfolds as expected, 2026 could mark the start of a new major uptrend, turning short-term volatility into long-term opportunity for strategic investors.

## ⚠️ VOLATILITY & OVERBOUGHT/OVERSOLD CONDITIONS
Current Volatility Status: Moderate compression → Expect significant expansion imminent
5M/15M RSI: 46-64 range (neutral)—room for 30-60 point movements | Scalp target zones
30M/1H RSI: 54-70 range (bullish bias, optimal zone)—sweet spot for swing entries
4H RSI: 58-72 range—approaching caution zone but room to extend | Safe for core swings
Daily RSI: 62-76 range (approaching extremes)—be defensive if daily RSI>78 | Take profits aggressively
Overbought Recognition Points:
RSI daily >77 combined with upper Bollinger Band rejection = immediate profit-taking
Ichimoku cloud top penetration fails (bearish candle rejection) = trend exhaustion signal
Volume declining on breakout attempt = false breakout warning signal
Harmonic pattern PRZ exact hit without follow-through = reversal likely imminent
Oversold Bounce Setups:
RSI 1H <32 on support touch = high-probability bounce back to 6,880-6,950
Price below EMA 50 (6,600) + RSI <28 = aggressive accumulation zone
Spring test below 6,650 with volume surge = Wyckoff spring reversal trigger
Harmonic pattern PRZ support bounce = measured move extension targets activated
## 🎯 ENTRY & EXIT OPTIMIZATION STRATEGY
### OPTIMAL ENTRY TIMING
For Scalpers (5M): RSI bounce from 42-50 zone after Band lower touch = 20-35 point scalp (1-3 min holds)
For Quick Swings (15M-30M): 15M candle close above 6,880 with 4H alignment = 100-150 point swing (30 min-2 hour holds)
For Core Swings (1H-4H): 4H pennant breakout above 6,920 on volume = 300-450+ point target (hold 12-48 hours)
For Position Swings (Daily): Daily close above 7,000 = continuation play targeting 7,200-7,350 (hold 5-7 days)
Best Entry Windows: US pre-market (12:30 ET), Market open (14:30 ET), London close (16:00 ET)
### EXIT STRATEGIES & PROFIT TAKING
Take Profit Levels: TP1: Fibonacci 38.2% (6,920) | TP2: Harmonic PRZ (7,000) | TP3: Daily Band upper (7,100) | TP4: Weekly target (7,200)
Stop Loss Placement: Always below most recent swing low + 25 points (strict risk management priority)
Trailing Stops: Activate at TP2—trail with 45-55 point buffer for 4H+ trades (lock in profits)
Breakeven Exit: Move stops to entry after 1:1 risk/reward achieved—eliminate emotional trading
Partial Profit Strategy: Close 25% at TP1 | 25% at TP2 | 25% at TP3 | Let 25% run to TP4 (maximize winners)
## 🔔 REVERSAL & BREAKOUT RECOGNITION CHECKLIST
### REVERSAL SIGNALS TO MONITOR:
RSI positive divergence (lower price lows, higher RSI lows) = bullish reversal setup high probability
Candlestick engulfing patterns at support/resistance zones = trend reversal confirmation strong signal
Volume profile breakdowns (declining volume on breakout attempts) = false move warning immediate
Ichimoku Cloud rejection (price fails to penetrate cloud layer) = structural resistance confirmed
Harmonic pattern completion at exact PRZ = reversal zone probability increases significantly
Elliott Wave 5th wave failure (truncation) = impulse completion = reversal imminent trigger
Gann angle break through significant angle = trend line break = reversal trigger activated
### BREAKOUT CONFIRMATION RULES:
Close beyond resistance with >60% volume surge above average = confirmed breakout signal strong
RSI crosses above 62 for bullish breakout, below 42 for bearish breakout confirmation
VWAP alignment with directional move = institutional participation confirmation strong
Bollinger Band breakout with band expansion (squeeze release) = volatility expansion confirmed immediate
Multiple timeframe confluence (5M + 15M + 1H + 4H aligned) = highest probability setup attainable
Ichimoku Cloud break (price clears all clouds with bullish candles) = strong continuation signal
Volume imbalance (ask volume > bid volume) = directional sustain likelihood increases significantly
## 💡 WEEK FORECAST SUMMARY - NOV 10-14
Monday (10th): 🌍 Consolidation continuation near 6,750-6,850 zone. Range-bound trading anticipated. Early breakout direction watch crucial. Entry setups favor reversal plays at support zones.

Analysis Created: November 8, 2025 | Valid Through: November 14, 2025 | Updated Daily at Pre-Market
SPX: Bear Markets and Complacency Oh boy, we are here, about to have “the talk”. Didn’t think this would come up until 2026, but alas we are. It’s a loaded talk so get ready.
Bear markets, or less triggering, corrective markets. What about them, you may ask?
I am going to talk about the prospects of a bear market for the S&P starting right now. Like today. Like November of all times. I am also going to talk a bit about complacency in markets which snagged me bad this week. So get ready for some theory, analysis, application and market lessons/reflection, all in one post!
First off, bear markets. How do you identify them?
This is the million-dollar question! How do you identify bear markets? The truth is, they are mostly impossible to determine reliably, even with the most robust fundamental and technical analysis combined!
The approach I take to “preparing” for bear markets is usually on the fundamental side over everything else! It’s a bit of a hybrid, fundamental math, but traditionally what I use is simply the US money supply. It has served me well over the years and even prepared us for that correction we saw in early 2025, if you follow me and remember these posts:
Essentially by analyzing how far the value of the S&P is over the US Money supply, and creating a cointegrated relationship. Traditionally, I would use R to do this, but in my mission to bring more statistics to Pinescript, I no longer need to rely on R to provide the analysis, as the Econometrica indicator now exists ( available here ).
Using this indicator, we can take a look at SPY and SPX against the US money supply:
We can see that historically SPX has traditionally corrected over-extension through reverting back to the US Money Supply mean, or more technically the cointegrated relationship that exists of SPX value over US money supply value. However, currently, SPX is the farthest it has ever been above the US money supply.
Nuts!
If we look at SPY:
Nuts!
Additionally, we know that this is still relevant because despite SPY and SPX being so far above the US money supply, the Correlation and, more importantly, the R2 remains really high. Indicating that a substantial degree of variance of SPY can be explained by the US Money supply.
SPY and SPX can attempt to ignore it, but it will do so in vein because at the end of the day, the pair are two peas in a pod and inseparable. We know this from the strong correlation and R2 value of the cointegrated regression.
If you don’t believe it, simply watch and read my previous ideas that were posted about a month or two before we saw SPY and SPX tank >20% in the span of a month! It generally works, its just, timing is difficult.
Other, easier ways to identify bear markets:
There is no other way I have found with statistical rigour. Some of the worst performing ways are using EMAs. For example, the average distance from the daily EMA 200 SPY and SPX will travel before a bear market starts is 7 to 9%. However, of the 7 to 9% distance, only 6% of these are true lead ins to bear markets. That’s because, SPY and SPX spend a great degree of time between 7 to 9% away from the EMA 200.
Other ways like quantifying magnitude between bull and bear market cycles is more promising, though equally problematic. Studying magnitude between bear and bull markets (i.e. the percent gain from the bear market low to the bull market high prior to the next bear market) ranges from 4% to up to 100%, with the average being around 42%. Currently, SPY and SPX would be at 43.5% from its bear market/corrective cycle low:
And peaked at about 10% away from the EMA 200:
While these in silo are not helpful, seeing the confluence of signals does lend some potential rigour. In this case, we are incredibly over-extended from the US Money supply, we have surpassed the EMA threshold and we are >= the average bear – bull market cycle threshold. So there is that.
The last way is by creating a time series model that calculates the mean, and analyzing behaviour at various distances from this mean historically. I have had hit or miss success with this. This is not so predictive of actual bear market onsets, but it is 100% reliable for target prices (again, if you follow me, the calling of the 481 target price on SPY during the crash was thanks to this approach).
Lets talk about Bear markets in November
They’re rare. Very rare. They have been known to happen but in extremely rare circumstances. This is because November seasonality is incredibly strong. November is one of the best performing months for the S&P and many stocks as a whole!
If you ask some generic AI about bear markets starting in November, it will likely spit out 1980.
Ah yes, the 80s.
November 1980. While people were innocently doing aerobics while listening to Blondie, they never fathomed the -27% decline that awaited their markets, despite booming economies and AAPL coming to town (mind you, the big release was in 1984 when the market was healthy but apple still very much existed here).
But why am I talking about this so much? Who cares about 1980.
Well, yeah, that’s what I thought until I noticed something that peaked my interest. Let’s take a look at 1980:
Notice anything?
If not, don’t worry, here is it again with some reference:
And if we are still not really feeling it:
Interesting.
I was intrigued by the similarity, so I had to test it mathematically to ensure that it wasn’t just a coincidence. To do this, I pulled monthly data from SPX and isolated January 1980 to November 1980. I then ran a regression on this data against January 2025 to November 2025 (bearing in mind November just begun).
The results were:
Correlation: 0.918 (Strong positive relationship, meaning that the trend is identical between the periods).
R2: 0.843 (Meaning that 3/4s of the variance and movement of 2025 can be explained using 1980 monthly data).
Comparing it against a random year (in my testing case, January 1984 to November 1984), I got a correlation of 0.468 and an R2 of 0.219, indicating no strong link and no explanation of variance.
This verifies that this is not just some visual anomaly, there is actually some substance to this theory of the 80s. And why not? I mean, I see people rocking 80s hair cuts again on a daily basis, why not rock 80s markets while we are at it!
So then the question that arises from this is, okay, larger timeframe, sure, it explains the data a bit. But does it really align on the smaller timeframe (i.e. Daily timeframe)? Does it align well when we narrow the picture?
Well, for this, I tried it. And oh boy, buckle up.
Because we are comparing tit for tat, side by side, same days etc. without missing data (i.e. for the monthly, we ran the analysis with most of November data missing), we have the following results:
Correlation: 0.9444
R2: 0.8918
Its unreal. Had we known we could have predicted every single move SPX made this year! EVERY. SINGLE. MOVE. Hindsight is so annoying.
Now, because I am not a fundamental analyst, as I like to say, its time to cite some AI. Gemini is my preferred. So lets ask him/her what they think about the results:
“The strong correlation on the daily timeframe provides a high degree of confidence that the factors (macroeconomic, technical, or psychological) that drove the market trajectory in the first 214 trading days of 1980 are similar to those driving the 2025 market. This gives you a strong justification for using the remainder of the 1980 price data as a projection or probability model for the rest of 2025. ”
So now my logical question is “ Well, how do the fundamentals of 1980 compare to today ”? And this is what Gemini has to say about that:
The Central Theme: Inflation, Rates, and Recession Fear
The S&P 500's price action in 1980 was fundamentally shaped by the confluence of three major forces, all of which have strong parallels today:
1. High and Volatile Inflation
• 1980 Reality: This was the peak of the "Great Inflation" era. Inflation was incredibly high, peaking near 14% in the early part of the year, driven by oil price shocks following the 1979 energy crisis. This forced consumers and businesses to constantly adjust expectations.
• 2025 Parallel: While not at 14%, the post-pandemic inflation shock has been the worst in four decades. Prices have remained sticky, particularly in services, and have proven difficult to bring down to the Fed's target, leading to persistent uncertainty.
2. Aggressive Monetary Policy
• 1980 Reality: Paul Volcker, the Federal Reserve Chairman, was implementing radical, Volcker-shock policies to crush inflation. This involved driving interest rates to unprecedented levels (the Federal Funds Rate hit 20% in 1980). The market volatility reflected the uncertainty of whether the Fed would succeed and how much economic pain it would inflict.
• 2025 Parallel: The Federal Reserve has conducted the most aggressive rate-hiking cycle in four decades. The debate has continuously centered on whether the Fed is "done," whether they will "pivot," and whether the current high rates are sufficient to induce the necessary slowdown without causing a severe recession.
3. Economic and Geopolitical Uncertainty
• 1980 Reality: The economy was officially in a recession in the first half of 1980. Geopolitically, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the Iranian hostage crisis created massive global instability, which directly impacted energy prices and market sentiment.
• 2025 Parallel: While the economy has been resilient, the persistent fear of an imminent recession remains a dominant theme. Geopolitically, ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East continue to pose supply chain risks and put upward pressure on energy and commodity prices, mirroring the external shocks of the 1980s.
Oh man, where was AI many moons ago?
So, what happens next?
I want to assert something. I am not calling for a bear market here. I like to dabble in statistical analysis and I would be wrong to not have a discussion about this, in light of what I see and what is happening.
That said, there are still reasons to be bullish:
From a fundamental perspective, seasonality remains bullish and bear markets starting in November remain a rarity.
We also have, according to my projections, a high probability target up at 710 on SPY leading us into the end of December, with a historic hit rate of 87%.
We have, as well, the prospects of a Santa rally happening. If you recall my last idea on SPY, Santa rally’s happen on SPY around 75% of the time.
But what can we do with the information about 1980?
The simple answer, is we can observe and we can model. We can model an adjusted forecast based on the remainder of 1980 using current prices of SPX. And we can observe. We can observe the correlation and R square as time progresses to see if we are following the trajectory to the same degree and closeness as we are currently.
For the first one, the forecast, I am sure you are wanting this and wanting to observe it with your own eyes, so I went ahead and did the forecast in R. Here are the results:
As you can see, its mostly sideways. Though SPX made a new high after this point before coming down more. Timelines may be skewed however, which is why the R squared is 0.89 and not 1 (perfect).
So, sell it?
Maybe. I think, the key take away here, is exercise caution here.
A Note on Complacency
I want to give a quick note on the dangerous of complancency, even from the most experienced traders. I have been trading since 2018, and, for some reason, this year which has been incredibly bullish, I have just become complacent. Buying the dips and not thinking too much about it.
Traditionally, I would analyze all options, pay attention to all metrics and weigh forecasts and statistics equally. However, this year I have massively slipped into just mindless, buy buy buy trading.
This week was a wake up call for me, since it did not go as expected. It was also avoidable, since half of my stuff indicated the week was turning bearish. I chose to ignore in favour of being complacent and airing on the side of irrationality.
Trading can and is a grind. Its is a job if not worse than a job. Its not always enjoyable. But the one thing that is different about a job is when you cut corners trading, you will for sure pay the price. Whereas, with a job, you may get off the hook.
Be vigilant. Take breaks. And never corner cut! It’s a very important lesson for most! Don't be lazy, laziness breeds complacency.
That’s it.
This doesn’t count as my weekly post, so don’t worry because I didn’t share any analysis for next week haha.
Safe trades everyone and thanks for reading!
This is the END(ing diagonal)The ending diagonal has formed. If you check RSI you will see a double daily and fresh WEEKLY divergence. It will crash hard next week. 6480 is the first target, but it can be just a bounce area. 1.618 level from low to top of the diagonal is at 6400 level on SPX and at 6300 level on US500 - I think we can get a flash-crash into this area next week. And if this is a reversal, it can trend down to February peak and lower according to fibs.
Did You Buy The Dip? Heres What we bought!Today the SPX had an incredible morning selloff - met with and even more incredible rally.
The markets were in turmoil today up until the bulls stepped in and made a red to green reversal.
Days like today often create the biggest portfolio gains when you can buy stock at depressed levels.
We accumulated 6 position longs today.
Massive technicals were tested and defended today.
Reversal?Channel resistance reached
RSI resistance reached
Double 1D divergence on RSI
If something ugly is gonna happen, it's gonna happen now.
Fib levels to watch:
1.272 - likely bounce area
1.618 - classic reversal level for a correction after wave 5, but I don't see strong support there
2.0 - not a fib level, but February peak is there. Likely bounce area.
2.2 and 2.272 area - when 1.618 level breaks, price usually reaches it. They are all inside of 1M FVG. The correction can end there. Or not.
2.618 - the price can reach and overshot it. Another 1M FVG lies just below it.
All 2+ fibs match previous peaks very good. Sounds crazy, but a correction to 6000 area seems very probably now.
Inverse Cup&Handle On 12hr SPX/USDFellow traders! We could have a Inverse Cup & Handle on the 12hr SPX.
This could also be a development of a H&S . Time will tell but for now I measured a move from the cup & handle and get a target of 6594.1
Chart patterns pop up we take action only when we get the break of a break line which in this case has happened so we pounce.
Best of luck in all your trades, see you at the finish line $$$
S&P 500 | Channel Breakdown, VIX Elevated – 6,200 SupportThe S&P 500 has now broken decisively below its ascending channel, confirming that selling pressure is broadening out. The VIX has pushed up to the 20-level — reflecting a shift toward risk aversion as investors reassess valuations, Fed uncertainty, and global growth headwinds.
Historically, a VIX near 20 signals heightened demand for downside protection but not full-scale panic — often appearing in the early-to-mid phase of a correction.
Technical Lens:
The index has broken beneath the lower bound of the ascending channel that guided price action for much of 2024–25.
RSI is sliding deeper into bearish territory and has already broken the halfway mark (~50), now near 42 — signalling growing downside momentum.
Importantly, a bullish RSI divergence is forming: while price makes lower lows, RSI is flattening, hinting that sellers may be losing steam as we approach the next key zone.
The next major support sits around 6,200, aligning with previous structure lows and the midpoint retracement of the broader channel.
Scenarios:
Scenario A (Base case): If SPX continues trading below the broken trendline (~6,650–6,700), the path of least resistance points toward 6,200.
Scenario B (Relief setup): If RSI divergence plays out and SPX reclaims the 6,700 region, short-covering could trigger a bounce — but the structure remains bearish while under 6,850.
Catalysts:
Macro: Uncertainty around the Fed’s December meeting and slowing global growth data.
Earnings: Tech and AI names (NVDA, MSFT, GOOGL) remain vulnerable after heavy positioning and valuation fatigue.
Volatility: The elevated VIX keeps risk-off bias intact — any sustained rise above 22-23 could accelerate defensive flows.
Takeaway:
Momentum and volatility both point to deeper correction risk, with 6,200 emerging as the next logical support. Until the index can reclaim 6,850, the bias stays tilted lower — this remains a “watch zone” for potential exhaustion rather than a reversal confirmation.
S&P 500 at Make-or-Break Level – Bulls’ Last Chance!As I expected in the previous idea , the S&P 500 index ( SP:SPX ) has reached its target.
Given that the S&P 500 index has a strong correlation with other financial markets, especially Bitcoin ( BINANCE:BTCUSDT )—sometimes even tracking them candle-by-candle—it's a good idea to pay extra attention to the S&P 500 index these days.
Currently, the S&P 500 index is moving in a Heavy Support zone($6,775_$6,689) , although it entered this zone with a lot of downside momentum.
From a classic technical analysis perspective, there's still a chance that the descending broadening wedge pattern will hold. As long as this pattern isn't invalidated, we can still hope for at least a short-term bullish move.
From an Elliott Wave perspective , it seems like the S&P 500 index is completing the microwave 4 of the microwave C of the main wave Y within the descending broadening wedge.
I expect that after the next small dip, the S&P 500 index will start rising again from near the lower boundary of the wedge, the 50_SMA(Daily) , and Support lines .
Note: If the S&P 500 index falls below about $6,650, we should expect further downside. So let's keep an eye on that level.

SPY/SPX Bear Market, liquidity speedbumps, and key levels SP:SPX AMEX:SPY
The current setup mirrors the prior rally from trough to peak, projecting a speculative 20% bear market range.
From here, I’m watching for a push into 6100–6200 that’s where strong resistance should form. If we reject that zone, it likely marks the start of a deeper unwind.
A quick overshoot toward 6000 wouldn’t surprise me and could trigger a dead cat bounce, but unless buyers regain control above 6200, the bounce should fade.
At 20% we'll be around $5550, where we’d likely find structural support. However a market shock around there could allow it to drop to $5200 if something happens while we're in that zone.
I don't think we'll go lower than $5000 moving forward
