Stocks at Records Ahead of Big Week of Fed & Tech. What to WatchRecord highs, rate-cut optimism, five tech giants on deck — what a time to be a market participant!
It’s Monday, and Wall Street is back doing what it does best — setting new records and pretending not to worry about what comes next.
After a cooler-than-expected inflation print and some diplomatic smiles from Washington and Beijing, all three major indexes are kicking off the week in full throttle.
Last Friday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average TVC:DJI finally closed north of 47,000 for the first time ever, rising 472 points, or 1%.
You know that feeling when you hit every green light on the way to work? That’s what Friday felt like. The S&P 500 SP:SPX climbed 0.8%, and the Nasdaq Composite NASDAQ:IXIC gained 1.2%. Together, the trio ended the week at record highs.
The spark? September’s Consumer Price Index ECONOMICS:USCPI rose 3.0%, slightly below the 3.1% expected. Traders took that as a nod from the economy that the Federal Reserve can keep easing off the monetary brakes.
Odds of at least a half-point in rate cuts by year-end jumped to nearly 97%, according to the CME FedWatch Tool.
Soft inflation, strong sentiment, and new highs — *insert feelsgoodman meme.*
🤝 A Trade Truce (For Now)
Adding to optimism, US and Chinese negotiators sounded unusually positive over the weekend. The two sides reportedly hammered out a trade framework, setting the stage for President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping to meet in South Korea later this week.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the talks “ought to pave the way” for a broader discussion on tariffs, tech transfers, and everything in between — the kind of vague optimism that markets eat up like comfort food.
For now, investors are choosing to focus on the handshake rather than the fine print. After all, in the markets, hope is often more powerful than details.
🏦 The Fed’s Big Moment
The main event, however, comes midweek. The Federal Reserve is widely expected to cut interest rates ECONOMICS:USINTR by a quarter point on Wednesday. But the real show starts after the decision, when Jerome Powell takes the mic.
Traders will be parsing every word of his press conference for hints on how much further the Fed is willing to go. The tone of his remarks could determine whether markets keep coasting at record highs — or finally take a breather.
So far, Powell has managed to thread the needle: easing just enough to keep growth alive without letting inflation flare back up. But with stocks at all-time highs and job data still missing due to the government shutdown, he’s got a tough balancing act.
💻 Big Tech Takes the Stage
Anyway, peak earnings season is here and if macro policy is the first act this week, Big Tech earnings are the broader narrative.
Five members of the Magnificent Seven — Microsoft NASDAQ:MSFT , Alphabet NASDAQ:GOOGL , Meta NASDAQ:META , Apple NASDAQ:AAPL , and Amazon NASDAQ:AMZN — will all report their latest results.
That’s roughly $12 trillion in combined market cap stepping into the spotlight.
After a few solid years of sky-high expectations around AI, cloud, and advertising recovery, investors are craving proof that the hype is translating into actual earnings.
The question isn’t whether these companies are still dominant — it’s whether they can keep growing fast enough to justify valuations that have already priced in perfection.
Microsoft, Meta and Alphabet kick things off Wednesday, Apple and Amazon step up Thursday. Somewhere between all that, expect social media feeds to explode with charts, hot takes, and the occasional meme about “buying the dip” before it even happens.
🌍 Markets in a Mood
It’s one of those rare weeks when every major force — central banks, geopolitics, and tech earnings — converge into a single market narrative. And, by the looks of it, that narrative is leaning bullish.
Still, keep an eye out for surprises.
Off to you : Where do you think markets are heading this week? Are you excited to snap up some tech shares ahead of the updates or looking to play defense? Share your thoughts in the comments!

Market Regimes: What they are and why they matterRegimens, what are they and why they matter?
Most traders, especially new ones, don’t understand trading regimens. This is actually normal. Even as a quant based trader with higher education in stats/sciences, I learned of Regimen trading later in my trading career, having successfully navigated trading without it; but insurmountably improving things when I discovered it.
What is a regimen you may ask? Is it what’s going on in North Korea? Or even the USA?
Chances are, most people may think regime is synonymous with something like fascism or some ultra political significance, but the truth is regime can mean a few things, and I think its important, before getting into the real details, to first understand the meaning of regime.
The Meriam-Webster dictionary defines regime as:
regular pattern of occurrence or action (as of seasonal rainfall)
the characteristic behavior or orderly procedure of a natural phenomenon or process
mode of rule or management a government in power
a form of government
a government in power
a period of rule
If you were to do a grad school ‘ concept analysis’ on regime, you would get some interesting findings of regime. Essentially, all of these definitions have a significance/underlying overlap in meaning. The simplified meaning? I would say (without having done an actual concept analysis), a regime is a “pattern of behaviour / rules / government that forms repeating characteristics that can be measured and predicted against its previous characteristics”.
Still too complex? Let’s simplify with both political and scientific examples.
Political
In the current presidency in the U.S., the Republican party was swift to implement sweeping tariffs against international trade partners, blanketing entire continents in a matter of days with tariffs. These were then paused, resumed, paused, resumed, lowered, raised, lowered, raised, paused, resumed, revoked, resumed, lowered, raised, etc.
Under the current political regime, we can identify the behaviour of “tariff implementation”. From previous tariff implementation and revocation and adjustment, we have the characteristics of this regime. We can then use these characteristics to predict future outcomes under this regime, i.e. we would hypothesize “Tariffs will be paused within the coming 2 months”. We can say this because this is a characteristic of the current regime. In fact, the term TACO is a perfect example of repeating regime characteristics!
What about a scientific example?
Well we can draw on Meriam-Webster making reference to seasonal rainfall. In climatology, a " rainfall regime " refers to the characteristic pattern of precipitation over a region during the year—especially its timing, intensity, and variability across seasons. Identifying these regimes are pivotal to forecasting future meteorological and climatological events!
What about my field? Epidemiology and Biostatistics?
In Epi, we have multiple different regimes, such as:
Treatment Regime: A prescribed course of medical therapy, such as a drug regimen for tuberculosis or chemotherapy for cancer. It includes dosage, timing, and duration.
Vaccination Regime: A schedule of immunizations designed to prevent disease outbreaks—e.g., two-dose mRNA COVID-19 vaccine regime followed by boosters.
Control Regime: A set of public health policies or containment strategies—like quarantine protocols, mask mandates, or vector control in malaria-endemic areas.
Surveillance Regime: The systematic collection and analysis of health data to monitor disease trends—e.g., wastewater surveillance for poliovirus or syndromic surveillance for flu-like illness.
These all matter because these regimes dictate future characteristics/outcomes.
Great! Now that you have an idea of what a regime means, let’s talk about regimes in trading.
If you haven’t already guessed, there obviously exists “ market regime s”. These are, more or less, defined as “a distinct period characterized by specific patterns in market behavior—such as trends, volatility, and macroeconomic conditions—that influence investment strategies and risk management. ”
If you look back to our examples, you can begin to imagine why regimes matter. Remember, TACO! Previous behaviour dictates future characteristics. Once you understand the way or median in which some phenomena operates, you can use these characteristics to predict future characteristics.
If you wanted to dissect market regimes, it could get relatively involved and complex. For example, things such as:
Seasonality,
Momentum,
Mean Reversion,
Financial / economic stability
Geopolitical stability
These can all influence market regimes in their own way and can, in fact, be standalone market regimes. If you trade seasonality, you are trading “ seasonal regimes ”.
Momentum and Mean reversion are independent regimes of themselves (more on that shortly).
If you trade fundamentals, you will be trading economic and geopolitical regimes.
But which is correct? Not all regimes can exist at the same time, correct?
Yes and no! Regimes can momentarily shift and flip into a different one. Take, for example, the U.S. implementation of Tariff’s at the beginning of 2025. The initial blanket tariffs caused a mean reversion regime fueled by financial/economic and geopolitical stability. We had 3 regimes working together for the result, which was ultimately a mean reversion. This quickly shifted from a mean reversion regime to a momentum based regime (more on this shortly).
So, yes, we can, theoretically, have more than one regime simultaneously. However, when it comes to markets, and this is where you are in luck, its actually pretty easy! Markets tend to be either:
Mean reverting; or
Momentum based.
And that’s really that. Those are the only 2 regimes you will ever truly need to pay attention to, which will give you a better edge at trading. Seasonality, financial and geopolitical stability will either augment mean reversion or momentum, but generally are not independent regimes in and of themselves.
In the end, markets either go up, down or sideways. It can be driven by broader contexts, but in the end the up/down/sideways is driven by a predominate regimen;
Down markets: usually mean reverting.
Up markets: usually momentum.
Sideways markets: usually mean reverting with occasional momentum deviations.
If you want to learn more about the evolution of the market, you can check out my post about how the market has evolved into its current regime here:
Now, let the real fun begin and let’s talk about how to correctly trade based on the current regime!
There are some steps, first one must:
Identify the current regime concretely.
Apply the correct strategies that are compatible with the current regime.
Understand the momentum, mean reversion paradox
I will walk you through how to do this step by step.
Identifying the Current Regime Concretely
The easiest way to identify the current regime is by using Hurst Exponent.
The Hurst exponent is a number between 0 and 1 that tells you how predictable a time series is—like stock prices or rainfall.
If it's close to 0, the data is very random and tends to switch directions often.
If it's around 0.5, the data behaves like a random walk—no clear trend.
If it's close to 1, the data shows strong trends and tends to keep moving in the same direction.
So, it helps you measure persistence vs. randomness in patterns over time. The closer to 1 the more “persistent” the market is said to be. Persistence is basically the math equivalent of momentum. If a market is persistent, it will tend to trend with momentum.
The closer to 0 the more random the market is said to be . Randomness usually favours “mean reversion”
For simplicity, if you get a Hurst Exponent > 0.5, you are likely in a momentum regime. If < 0.5, you are likely in a mean reversion regime.
Let’s take a look at some examples using QuantNomad’s Hurt Exponent indicator ( available here ):
This is just before the crash in February 2025. We can see that up here, the Hurst Exponent was < 0.5, indicating a mean reversion preference. And indeed, the market ended up mean
reverting back to its quadratic mean (481) with the crash.
Then let’s see what happened:
After the crash, we can see that the Hurst Exponent was consistently > 0.5, indicating persistence in the market, i.e. trendy and momentum based.
Remember, as a rule of thumb, momentum markets generally faour upside and mean reverting tend to be downside favouring. If we narrow the regime to smaller timeframe regimes, you can see this phenomenon quite easily. Let’s look at SPY on a bearish day and bullish day against the Hurst Exponent:
We can see that on this bull trend day, Momentum and persistence reigned dominate. Hurst did not drop below 0.5, at least not for long, which indicated a persistent trend that was momentum driven.
Now a bearish day:
You can see on this bear trend day that Hurst stayed below 0.5 persistently, indicating mean reverting behaviour.
This also highlights how lower timeframes can have independent and day to day regimes, but its always important and critical to pay attention to the major regime a market is in on the larger timeframe.
Applying Correct Strategies
Depending on the regime, you MUST tailor your strategy to match the regime. If you are trading a mean reverting regime, oscillators like RSI and Stochastics aren’t going to work well. If you are trading a momentum regime with high persistence, mean reverting strategies like Bollinger Bands and Z-Score are not going to work.
As a rule of thumb, when Hurst is > 0.5, you want oscillator based strategies such as RSI, Stochastics, etc.
One indicator that I would recommend in momentum based regimes is my own, Momentum Probability Oscillator indicator ( available here ). This indicator operationalizes probability/sentiment through momentum metrics instead of mean reversion metrics. Let’s take a look at some examples:
In this example on the hourly timeframe for SPY, you can see that momentum is lost (signified by the oscillator falling below the yellow line) indicating that the likely outcome will be selling, this is shown by the pink arrows.
In this next example, we can see where momentum is reclaimed and the bias shifts to upside.
Because this indicator quantifies momentum probabilistically, it does well in momentum based, persistent regimes to identify strong trends and pullback of trends.
In reality, you can use any oscillator in a momentum based, persistent regime, but obviously I am biased to my own creations.
What about a mean reverting regimen?
If we are in a mean reverting regime, your best indicators to use are Bollinger Bands or, my favourite, the Z-Score probability indicator (by yours truly) available here .
Let’s use $NYSE:IRDM as our mean reverting example
In this image, the red arrow marks the transition to a mean reverting regime. So what do we use here? Well let’s take a look at the Z-Score probability indicator:
The red lines mark the transition to a mean reversion based regime. At the time of this transition, IRDM was oversold based on the Z-Score probability. We can see it in fact rallied back up to a z-score of 0 (mean reversion) before rejecting back down from the 0.
This is incredibly powerful, as the Hurst Exponent tells you that you can trust a reversion back to a mean!
Let’s try a smaller, intraday example, going back to SPY:
This day, SPY looked pretty bullish; however, the Hurst Exponent was consistently below 0.5 indicating mean reversion.
If we applied the Z-Score probability indicator:
I flipped the indicator to use Candles so you can more easily see the mean reversion behaviour. SPY goes to either extremes and always mean reverts back to 0, at times even consolidating in the mean reversion range.
And Bollinger bands:
If we look at a momentum driven day:
We can see that there is a skew or bias to one side of the average. The z-score is all over the map with no real expansion within the average range and infrequent and sporadic reversions that come more from extensive consolidation rather than actual mean reversion.
The indicator isn’t unusable in momentum based trading, but its not ideal. If we flip this same chart to the momentum probability oscillator we can see a stark difference in utility:
You can see the trend is using the full range of the oscillator and there is clear bounces at lower range and rejections at higher range with frequent “mean reversion” of the oscillator momentum based mean.
Now finally, the last section:
The Momentum Mean Reversion Paradox
This is, obviously, a self made up term. However, this is a phenomenon that will happen in corrective environments, where a mean reversion is so substantial, it becomes augmented by momentum itself.
What does this mean? It means that, despite the market actually mean reverting, the Hurst exponent flips to > 0.5, as the market is “persistently bearish”.
We can see this if we flip back to our $NYSE:IRDM example:
Here, we can see despite IRDM selling, the Hurst Exponent is incredibly trendy, with a really high value of > 0.55. Yet, despite this, the ticker continues down. This is the hallmark of a correction.
This is incredibly important and I really would advise you to mark this down and remember this. You can actually tell that something is “correcting” using this exact approach. When Hurst > 0.5 and the trend is down, this is the hallmark of a TRUE correction. No speculation needed!
Statistics is the best, I’m telling you.
Let’s look at the SPY crash of 2025:
During the SPY crash of 2025, the Hurst flipped to > 0.5, with a max of 0.57 indicating a hugely persistent trend. This means that this was a strong correction for SPY, flipping from a Hurst of < 0.5 to a Hurst of > 0.5 with a strong downtrend.
Crashes tend to happen abruptly without such transitions. For example, if we look at the COVID crash:
Theoretically Hurst warned us in advance that SPY was entering mean reversion territory, but when it actually happened, it happened so fast, Hurst never truly converted from mean reversion to trending. It was just a jumbled mess. This is the hallmark of a crash.
Concluding Remarks
And now, my friends, you know all there is to know about how to identify market regimes! Understanding these concepts will put your eons ahead of the average trader and allow you to select the correct tools and actually understand what the market is doing and when its gearing up for some corrections/mean reversions.
This is a long post, I will leave it there, but I really hope you learned something from this and will take some of the key points away!
Thanks for reading and as always, safe trades!
Crash still to come . eps 2As i said in last analyse . As long as 6760 hold which equal 720 Gann angle
we are going dn
first target was hit @ 6530
then ...
the price has rebound from 6530 which = 630 Gann angle
again , if 6760 hold we are going to 2nd target @ 6350 which = 540 angle
* If you like . give a push , for more charts
Good Luck
SP500 currently showing bearish trend structureThe NASDAQ 100 is currently showing signs of price consolidation within a bearish trend structure. Selling pressure continues to build as price action remains capped below key resistance levels.
While short-term fluctuations may occur during earnings releases, technical indicators suggest that the bearish bias remains intact unless the price breaks decisively above resistance. Traders should watch for reversal signals around current resistance before considering short positions.
A Price is testing the upper resistance, suggesting that momentum may be losing steam The broader bias remains bearish, with sellers likely to regain control if the resistance holds a potential downside move could target the 6518 level, provided the market confirms rejection from resistance.

LEARN to INVEST Like Warren BuffetHello Stock Traders and Speculators 📈📢
If you trade and or watch stocks, commodities and/or ETF's then this one is for you!
Warren Buffett is probably one of the most successful investors of all time. Over the years, he has developed a set of principles and strategies over his career. He was inspired by the teachings of key financial thinkers like Phil Fisher, Benjamin Graham and Charlie Munger.
Phil Fisher
Fisher’s approach focusses on quality companies with long-term growth potential, emphasizing focused portfolios and long-term holdings. He believed in gathering information about a company beyond what’s readily available. His lessons on maintaining a focused portfolio and committing to long-term holdings are clear influences on Buffett’s patient, value-driven investment philosophy.
Benjamin Graham
Known as the father of value investing, Graham’s core principle was to buy stocks at a price lower than their intrinsic value, creating a margin of safety (MOS). This strategy helps mitigate risk and increase the likelihood of future gains. Buffett absorbed Graham’s teaching on finding stocks that are undervalued and buying them at the right price— definitely a large contributor of his investment success.
Charlie Munger
Munger is Warren Buffett’s long-time business partner. He introduced the concept of economic moats, which refers to a company’s long-term, sustainable competitive advantages. Munger advocates investing in businesses that can fend off competition and maintain profitability over time. This philosophy drives Buffett’s focus on companies with strong market positions and solid long-term potential, favoring these over shorter-term, speculative opportunities.
Buffett's Investment Approach
1 - Buy for the Long Term. Buffett’s strategy emphasizes identifying companies that can consistently perform well over long periods. He holds stocks for years, or even decades, often looking for opportunities where other investors may overlook value.
2 - Buy at the Right Price. Buffett is known for his discipline in waiting for the right moment to invest. His approach ensures he doesn’t overpay, instead seeking stocks when they are priced below their true value, maintaining a margin of safety.
3 - Buy the Right Stocks. Buffett doesn’t just buy cheap stocks, he buys quality companies with sustainable advantages. His goal is to invest in firms with strong business models that will continue to perform well regardless of market conditions.
Warren Buffett emphasizes investing in companies with simple and clear business models, ones that fall within his circle of competence. He prefers to thoroughly understand the operations, products, and long-term prospects of a company before making any investment.
This principle is combined with in-depth analysis of how the company operates and how sustainable its valuations and future growth prospects are. If a business model is too complex or outside his expertise, he avoids it.
He prioritizes companies with integrity and transparency in their management. He believes in backing leaders who are passionate, have strong vision and execution capabilities and who use shareholder funds wisely. Trusting management to run the company effectively, with efficiency and accountability, is critical for long-term success in Buffett’s eyes.
Investing in quality companies isn’t enough—Buffett also insists on buying them at attractive prices. He maintains a strict discipline of buying with a margin of safety, ensuring the price paid is lower than the company’s intrinsic value. This means waiting for opportunities to buy great businesses at fair prices rather than settling for fair businesses at attractive prices, which may not perform well over time.
Buffett has made many of his lessons and strategies available to the public through his letters to shareholders and partnership letters. These documents offer insight into his investment approach, decision-making process, and lessons from both successes and failures. There are several key books that capture Buffett’s life, philosophy, and strategies in greater detail:
📚Warren Buffett’s Ground Rules
📚The Warren Buffett Way
📚Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist
📚The Warren Buffett Portfolio
📚The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life
Each of these resources provides a comprehensive look into the mind of one of the most successful investors of all time. Personally I've read Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist by Roger Lowenstein and it is fantastic.
SPX: S&P500 An Economical Reset Again?Technically, the chart is vivid and self-explanatory.
The RSI (14) is implicating an obvious Negative Divergence before the last downturn and the chart recent structure.
The US treasury has no other option but printing more and more bucks, or cutting the interest rates. I don't know any other financial instruments.
Fundamentally, no market structure can soar or fall eternally.
I have had a look on BTC and Gold Futures. Gold has some room during the coming years. Yet, regarding bitcoin, according to futures I prefer not to be too optimistic.
The implications at the moment are only some assumptions and the future remains a uncertain. This is a systematic luck guess and bet.
We have several barometers and tools based on which we can Approximate the possibilities through a few scenarios and nothing more.
Eventually, we need to check those factors and barometers and practice several reasonable scenarios on our capital.
This is not a financial advice, but it is a serious warning against perils if an over-financialization phenomenon following almost a century from that black era of high unemployment and economical downturn that the US experienced in 1930s.

S&P500 Risk appetite improved, supported by easing inflationMarkets extended their rally yesterday, with the S&P 500 up 1.07%, closing just shy of record highs, while 30yr US Treasury yields fell to a 6-month low of 4.57%. The upbeat tone was driven by positive trade headlines, reduced shutdown fears, and lower oil prices — Brent crude slipped to $61.01/bbl, its lowest in five months, easing inflation concerns.
The key catalyst was optimism that the US and China will avoid new 100% tariffs due to take effect on November 1, after President Trump signalled confidence in reaching a “fair and great” trade deal following upcoming meetings.
In political news, Sanae Takaichi became Japan’s first female prime minister, a historic move likely to bring policy continuity with a conservative tone.
Elsewhere, Amazon Web Services resolved a 15-hour outage, underscoring global dependence on its infrastructure but with limited lasting market impact.
Overall tone:
Risk appetite improved, supported by easing inflation pressure and trade optimism.
Focus today shifts to earnings (Netflix, GE, Coca-Cola, etc.), Canada CPI, and ECB speakers, as investors gauge whether the rally can sustain into mid-week.

SPX: Back to the old path?Although a trading week on the US equity markets was a bit uncertain, still, Friday's US inflation figures brought back market optimism and pushed the S&P 500 to another all-time highest level during this year. Posted data showed that inflation was holding relatively firmly in September at the level of 3,0% on a yearly basis, which increased investors expectations that the Fed might cut interest rates by another 25 basis points on Wednesday, October 29th, when the FOMC meeting will be held. The S&P 500 reached the level of 6.805 on Friday, and closed the week at 6.791.
Tech companies were leading the surge in the index value, however, this time the financial sector benefited. Investors are expecting that the environment of decreased interest rates will support banks lending and increase their profits in the future period. Big names like JPMorgan, Wells Fargo and Citigroup were traded higher by 2%.
Apple was the company who was in the spotlight of investors, whose shares reached an all time highest level, helped by fresh optimism around demand for the iPhone 17 series, both on the US and China markets. Amazon had a bumpy start of the week, when Amazon Web Services (AWS) suffered a major global outage, affecting thousands of apps, websites and services worldwide. Still, their share price managed to surge by 1,6% till the end of the week. Regardless of the relatively volatile week, Nvidia shares continue to be traded with a strong demand following upbeat signals for a demand for its Blackwell GPU platforms and other AI infrastructure. A rally in the Broader AI and semiconductor supply chain (e.g. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) helped propel sentiment around Nvidia.
The week ahead might also be a volatile one, considering that the FOMC meeting will be held on Wednesday. Markets are currently expecting that the Fed will cut interest rates by 25 bps. In this case, the market optimism will continue. However, it should be noted that the US equity markets continue to be sensitive to fundamentals. Risks hold around trade-tariffs and the US Government “shutdown”.
Hellena | SPX500 (4H): LONG to resistance area of 6777.Price made a sharp and strong move to the 6503 level, making wave “4” quite large, but this move did not break the structure.
I think that now the price is in the big wave "5" and middle wave "2".
I think that there will be an upward movement with the purpose to renew the maximum of the wave "3" of higher order.
Therefore, I expect the price in the resistance area of 6777.
Fundamental context
After the sharp drop, the market quickly recovered — investors are once again turning to risk assets amid growing expectations of upcoming Fed rate cuts.
Inflation data came out under control, and corporate earnings have been stronger than expected, boosting confidence in the U.S. economy.
With the dollar losing momentum and bond yields easing, the S&P 500 now has room to extend its move upward toward the resistance area near 6777.

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.
$SPX500 by all metrix this is overboughtMarkets can stay irrational longer than we can stay solvent. Right now, we’re at the top of this megaphone pattern, with everything extremely overbought in epic fashion.
⚠️ Caution: the odds of a serious correction are high — the chart points to a potential target around $5,650.
Sure, the madness can continue. The Fed can keep printing USD that pours into stocks instead of the real economy — until people are jobless, starving, and rioting for food.
📈 Enjoy the rally while it lasts, but use stop-losses. This market is dangerously overheated.
Up again for SPX500USDHi traders,
Last week SPX500USD went up (making a Triangle invalid), made a correction down and went up again. It looks like the coreection was a running flat.
So now price could be in the next impulsive wave 5 (red) up and next week we could see more upside for this pair.
Let's see what the market does and react.
Trade idea: Wait for the finish of this bigger correction. Trading inside a Triangle is a sure way to lose.
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!
Eduwave
Markets look stretched, but the S&P 500 rally isn’t over yetLooking at historical trends, there still appears to be roughly 10% more room for the S&P 500 to climb before hitting resistance. Around the 7,300 level could be where the index pauses to catch its breath, or even consolidates before the next move, which will likely be downward.
Good luck!
S&P 500 Consolidation Turning Bullish StructureThe S&P 500 remains in a consolidation phase, leaning toward a bullish trend as it aims for new record highs once again.
Global stocks jumped on Monday to fresh intraday records, while the U.S. dollar eased on optimism that a potential trade deal between China and the U.S. may be approaching. Investors are also awaiting a series of central bank policy meetings and key earnings reports from several mega-cap companies.
From a technical perspective, prices continue to react strongly to the upside. If this upward momentum persists, the next resistance level is seen around 6,950.10.
You may find more details in the chart.
Trade wisely best of Luck buddies,

S&P500 Both short and long term bullish targets intact.The S&P500 index (SPX) continues to trade within its 5-month Channel Up and last Friday's pull-back to its 1D MA50 (red trend-line) again is another testament to it as it rebounded exactly on its bottom, making yet another Higher Low.
As we've shown on our previous analysis its short-term Target is the 1.382 Fibonacci extension at 6850. Ahead of a massive 1D MACD Bullish Cross however, we can see (after another short pull-back) the index extending much higher to its 2.5 Fibonacci extension (orange) at 7150 before a larger correction takes place.

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.

$SPX Tomorrow’s Trading Range 10.21.25
Alway’s know where your 35EMA is. It is underneath the implied move right now, which means tomorrow has a high probability of being flat or down. ATH’s are in tomorrow’s range above us, and 35EMA underneath us with that 30min 200 and also the bull gap from open as well… let’s go…
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.
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.
Gold vs Silver – Which is the true safe haven?While everyone debates whether to buy gold or silver, this chart shows something often overlooked:
When markets crash, the Gold/Silver ratio spikes — meaning gold strongly outperforms silver.
That’s because:
TVC:GOLD behaves as a true safe-haven asset during drawdowns.
TVC:SILVER , with heavier industrial exposure, tends to fall alongside risk assets.
Historically, every major market correction (2000, 2008, 2020, 2022…) was followed by a sharp rise in the ratio.
👉 If you want protection during equity sell-offs, gold > silver — or even consider long Gold/Silver as a hedge.
