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!
Trade ideas
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.
Manage your capital correctly and competently! Only enter trades based on reliable patterns!
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.
S&P Nearing Major Resistance (Update)This updates my previous S&P chart back last year showing the S&P still had room to run until any major resistance. We're nearing that major resistance at 7577. Looks like it might hit around January 2026.
The trouble is this trend is heating up and we needed a pullback to 6295. With all the excitement from Nvidia and other major Hyperscalers I'm worried it's going to just go straight to Major resistance. *If it does* we could be looking at a decently large pullback next year (finishing around August) down to that 6295 area and back into the supporting trend line for the next big uptrend to start.
If however we slow down here and get a pullback back to 6295 then I think we're good to make it over the major resistance without that big pullback next year.
Either way once we hit the major resistance at 7577 we'll need to get close to that lower trend line at some point to begin a new bull run.
Good luck and take caution as we approach this resistance!
POWERFUL Quote about TradingHere is a quote I want you to write down and hold close to your heart.
Trading is a Game of Focus, Sheer Will, and Unstoppable Determination
Trading is not for the faint-hearted.
It’s a game of focus, sheer will, and the kind of determination that doesn’t back down when the market throws punches.
If you’ve been in the trading world long enough, you know it’s not about making a quick buck.
It’s about holding your ground when the waves get rough and staying in the game even when the winds are blowing against you.
Let’s break this down…
Focus Is Your Superpower
To succeed, you need to zero in on your strategy and trust the process, no matter how loud the noise around you gets.
Focus is what separates a good trader from a great one.
It’s about staying laser-focused on your plan.
Do not get rattled when the market throws a curveball.
If you’re jumping from one strategy to another or chasing every shiny new stock, you’re spreading your energy too thin.
And in trading, scattered focus equals scattered results.
How to Strengthen Your Focus:
Create a daily routine and stick to it. Consistency fuels discipline.
Set specific trading goals for each session.
Block out distractions. Social media can wait.
Review your trades regularly to keep your mind sharp.
Sheer Will Gets You Through the Tough Times
Let’s not sugarcoat it:
There will be rough patches.
Trading will test you.
Your willpower will be stretched like a rubber band, and sometimes it might snap.
But those who make it are the ones who refuse to quit.
There’s a misconception that the best traders are the ones who never lose. Wrong.
The best traders are the ones who keep getting back up.
You will lose trades.
It’s part of the game.
But if you have the will to persist, those losses become your greatest teachers.
Ways to Build Your Willpower:
Start small. Set short-term, achievable goals to build momentum.
Learn from each mistake. Losses are part of the learning curve.
Celebrate your progress, even if it’s slow.
Stay connected with other traders to keep motivated.
Determination is Your Guiding Force
What makes a trader stick to their plan even when everything seems to be going wrong?
Determination.
It’s that relentless drive to keep going no matter what.
It’s about having a clear vision of where you’re headed and refusing to let setbacks derail you.
Determination means playing the long game.
It’s easy to get discouraged after a few losses or slow weeks, but successful traders know that big wins take time.
You’ve got to be in it for the long haul.
Strengthening Your Determination:
Write down your trading goals and review them daily.
Make sure you have checked the US Economic calendar with your trading strat.
Remind yourself of why you started trading in the first place.
Don’t let a losing streak shake your confidence—adjust, don’t abandon.
Stay flexible but committed to your strategy.
Conclusion: Keep Grinding, Keep Growing
Trading is a game of focus, sheer will, and relentless determination.
It’s not easy, but if you can master these qualities, you’ll find yourself ahead of the pack.
Success in trading doesn’t come from luck or overnight gains.
It comes from grinding it out, day after day, with a sharp mind and an unbreakable spirit.
Remember, the markets will test you.
They’ll try to break your focus, test your will, and challenge your determination.
But if you stay committed, keep your focus razor-sharp, and push through the tough times, you’ll come out stronger, smarter, and more successful.
So, what are you waiting for?
Tighten up your focus, flex that willpower, and get ready to tackle the markets with unstoppable determination.
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.
Weekend Analysis: DXY, BTC, Gold, Silver, Nas100 and SPX500In this video presentation I am expecting the dollar index to continue its uptrend on the lower time frame towards the liquidation level target of 99.500.
Bitcoin is still in a distribution range and currently correcting the sharp sell off from $126,296. I am observing an A-B-C corrective pattern potentially to targets of either $115,044 or $117,653. These are confluence of resistance level and will be expecting a sell off from these levels. If these levels gets invalidated then potentially the all time highs of $126k is in view. However that's not my expectation so a breach of the target level will invalidate the bearish analysis on Bitcoin.
I think Gold and Silver have peaked out for now and smart money is off loading to FOMO retail traders. I am expect Silver to sell off much faster than Gold.
Nas100 and SPX500 clinched to a breakout of new highs but the buying volume is fading out and seems to be a fake out. I will be watching if the breakout levels gets support or breakdown on pullback to decide a long position or short position.
This is my opinion on the market this week and I thank you for your time to visit my publications.
Have a great trading week and don't forget risk and money management is your first job as trader or investor. Cheers!!
SPX | Daily Analysis #7 - 27 October 2025Hello and welcome back to DP Weekly Market Review,
Past Week Overview:
The past week saw a strong inflow of volume from investors optimistic about a market rebound, following the sharp two-week decline driven by renewed U.S.–China trade tensions. The S&P 500 initially showed a K-shaped reaction, but buyers quickly stepped in, pushing prices higher. By Friday, the market not only recovered but also broke above the previous high, setting a new record.
On Sunday, Treasury Secretary Bessent announced that the U.S. and China are ready to reach a trade agreement. This news fueled bullish sentiment in the Asian session, causing a major gap-up in the markets, with the index opening around the 6,850 zone.
Week Ahead:
This week stands as one of the most critical of the quarter for global markets.
Federal Reserve Decision: All eyes are on the Fed’s rate announcement—whether they hike, cut, or hold. Every word from Chair Powell regarding “soft landing,” “inflation progress,” or “economic resilience” could move global markets sharply.
Tech Earnings Season: The “Tech Titans” — Apple, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, and Google — report their earnings this week. These giants collectively account for around 35% of the Nasdaq’s total weight.
U.S.–China Relations: President Trump is expected to meet President Xi for the first time in his second term, with trade tensions still in the background.
1H – 4H Technical Outlook:
As shown on the chart, the market opened with a large bullish gap. Some short-term traders anticipate a pullback to fill the gap, which could push prices down toward the 6,800 area. However, a sustained move above 6,860 may signal further bullish momentum toward the upside.
Trading Strategy:
For now, patience is key — let the market reveal its reaction around key price zones before entering new positions.

SPX | Daily Analysis #9 - 30 October 2025Hello and welcome back to DP,
Market Review:
Well, yesterday was a significant day across global markets — from U.S. stock indexes to crypto assets — with investors digesting major developments from the Federal Reserve and the renewed U.S.–China trade dialogue. The yesterday’s market summery:
- Monetary policy / central bank: The Fed’s decision to cut interest rates by 25 basis points (as expected) was overshadowed by Powell’s cautious tone about future cuts. However, optimism was tempered by comments from Jerome Powell indicating that another rate cut in December is not guaranteed. That caused some caution in the market.
- S&P 500: 6,890.59 (down ~0.30 points). Dow Jones Industrial Average: 47,632.00 (down ~74.37 points, ~0.2%). Nasdaq Composite: 23,958.47 (up ~130.98 points, ~0.5%).One of the biggest drivers: Nvidia Corporation became the first public company to reach a roughly $5 trillion market valuation, boosting the tech segment.
- Trade & geopolitics: The U.S. signalled progress in trade and industrial policy with China: comments from Donald Trump hinted at easing of some tariffs (e.g., on fentanyl-related goods) and possible cooperation on rare-earth export controls. The U.S. will reduce some tariffs on Chinese goods: for example, tariff on certain chemicals tied to fentanyl production will go from 20 % down to 10 %, and overall U.S. duties on Chinese imports shift from ~57 % to ~47 %. China agreed to resume more agricultural purchases from the U.S. (e.g., soybeans, sorghum) and to postpone export restrictions on rare earth materials for about one year.
- And for watching ahead is earnings: Big names like Apple Inc. (AAPL) and Amazon .com Inc. (AMZN) are due after market close, which could influence the market.
- The overall crypto market cap held steady near $3.2 trillion, with sentiment described as “risk-on, but wary.”
1H – 4H Technical Analysis:
As observed on the chart, price has broken below the bullish trend line and moved through yesterday’s key demand zone, signaling a potential shift in short-term momentum.
Currently, the price is declining, approaching lower demand areas. As of this analysis, SPX is retracing and may find temporary support around the 6,842 level, where a short-term rebound toward 6,877 is possible before the next move unfolds.
However, if bullish momentum fails to hold above that level, a drop through the gap zone could follow, pushing price action toward the 6,810 support region, which aligns with the next major demand zone on the 4-hour chart. This zone may serve as a stronger accumulation area for potential medium-term buyers.
From a broader perspective, the recent U.S.–China trade truce provides a fundamental tailwind for the market — a bullish catalyst that could limit downside extensions and support sentiment in the coming sessions.
It’s also notable that the S&P 500’s annual return now stands near +16 %, compared with roughly +24 % two years ago. This suggests that while growth has moderated, there remains room for further upside if macro conditions stay supportive and earnings momentum continues.

SPX | Daily Analysis #8 - 29 October 2025Hello and welcome back to DP
Market Review:
Over the past two days, as mentioned in our #7 analysis, “a sustained move above 6,860 may signal further bullish momentum toward the upside.”
This scenario played out as expected, with price reaching the 6,900 area for the first time. However, short sellers are now stepping in, attempting to fade the rally and fill the gap.
Currently, all eyes are on the upcoming Federal Reserve interest rate decision and Chairman Powell’s comments. Both China and the U.S. have remained relatively quiet, keeping market attention focused on monetary policy.
Meanwhile, President Trump stated yesterday that he intends to replace Powell in the coming months. Powell has previously clarified that the President does not have direct authority to remove the Fed Chair, so this statement adds a layer of political uncertainty.
According to CME FedWatch, there is about a 95% probability of a 25 bps rate cut being announced.
1H–4H Technical Analysis:
The 6,900 area is currently acting as a strong resistance zone, followed by the 6,878 support area.
• Bears have entered around 6,900–6,917, attempting to push prices lower.
• Bulls, however, are showing resilience and defending the zone.
If price fails to hold above 6,900, we could see a pullback toward 6,878.
Should 6,878 fail to hold, a sharper decline toward the gap zone could occur.
Given the interest rate decision, expect high volatility — with sharp moves both up and down before and after the announcement.
If you’re planning to trade this event, manage your stop loss carefully and avoid overexposure.

S&P 500 Daily Chart Analysis For Week of Oct 31, 2025Technical Analysis and Outlook:
During the recent trading session, the S&P 500 Index continued its wild ride, highlighting the importance of our key target, which stands as an Outer Index Rally at 6946. Fluctuations between the Mean Support at 6815 and the Key Resistance at 6875 serve as a crucial threshold for market participants. This positioning suggests the potential for further upward momentum, as the prevailing trend indicates a well-structured Active Inner Rebound extension toward the target stated above.
Nevertheless, it is essential to acknowledge the possibility of a sustained and gradual pullback within the current Active Inner Rebound zone. Such a pullback may retest the Mean Support at 6815 and could decline further to the Mean Support at 6740 before ultimately resuming an upward trajectory.

🧭 Plan
📈 Bias: Bullish confirmed with 30m LSMA pullback + 0.786 Fibonacci-based MA confluence.
💡 Entry Approach (Thief Layering Strategy™):
Instead of one-shot entry, I place multiple buy-limit layers to average into strength. Example setup:
Buy limit: 6600
Buy limit: 6620
Buy limit: 6640
👉 You can extend or adjust the layering based on your own strategy.
🎯 Stop Loss (SL)
This is my Thief SL @6560.
⚠️ Note to Ladies & Gentlemen (Thief OG’s): This SL is not a recommendation. Use your own judgment — protect your loot at your own risk.
💰 Target (TP)
📌 6750 — sitting at strong resistance + overbought zone + possible bull-trap.
⚠️ Again, OG’s — this is not financial advice. Take profit when it fits your plan. Secure the bag, then enjoy the loot!
🔍 Related Pairs to Watch
Keep an eye on these correlated assets to confirm the SPX500’s move:
NASDAQ:NDX (Nasdaq 100): Tech-heavy index with strong correlation to SPX500. If tech stocks are pumping, it’s a bullish signal for our trade. 📊
TVC:DXY (US Dollar Index): A weaker dollar often boosts equities. Watch for inverse correlation—DXY dropping could mean SPX500 is ready to fly! 🚀
TVC:VIX (Volatility Index): Low VIX levels signal market calm, supporting our bullish setup. A spike in VIX could warn of trouble, so stay sharp! ⚡
Key Correlation Insight: SPX500 often moves in tandem with NASDAQ:NDX due to shared tech giants (think Apple, Microsoft). If NASDAQ:NDX is rallying, it’s a tailwind for our trade. Conversely, a rising TVC:DXY or TVC:VIX could signal caution.

SPX: Pulls back from the latest ATHThe Fed cut interest rates by 25 basis points, as widely expected, while US equity markets pulled back from recent all time highest levels. This could be a short summary of the previous week on the US markets. The higher volatility continued leading the sentiment toward the overbought side. The newest ATH for the S&P 500 was at 6.917, but the index is closing the week at 6.840. The market was not happy regarding Fed Chair Powell comments that the rate cut in December is not guaranteed. The US Government continues to be in a state of a “shutdown”, where the majority of important macro data are still not available to the public, so the investors are currently acting in a sort of "blindfolded" manner when it comes to macro data.
The S&P 500 slipped as two of its largest members, Meta Platforms and Microsoft, weighed on the market. Meta plunged about 12 % after forecasting significantly higher AI-capex next year, while Microsoft declined over 2 % following disclosure of nearly $35 billion in planned spending. Meanwhile, Alphabet bucked the trend with a gain of 5.5 % thanks to strong advertising and cloud revenue offering some bright spots amid tech weakness. Amazon surged around 9,6% after a strong quarter led by cloud growth. Tesla was also a weekly winner with around 3,7% gain.
Analysts are in agreement that higher volatility of the equity market could continue in the future period. Tech companies are currently strongly investing into AI adoption, with some estimates of $600 billion in capital spending already planned for the next year. This will be one of indicators that investors will be closely watching in the future, especially examining how this CAPEX spending is translating into rising AI-driven revenues for each company.
Trust and Release – 4 Times to LET Your Trade GoEvery trader knows the feeling.
You’ve done all the homework, lined up every signal, and double-checked your risk. It’s like preparing to jump out of a plane with your parachute strapped on – exhilarating, but just a little nerve-wracking.
When you’ve put in the work, planned the trade, and set it in motion, there’s only one thing left to do:
Let it go.
Trust the process and release the trade.
Here are four clear-cut signs it’s time to step back and trust your strategy.
SIGN #1: The System Lined Up Perfectly
You’ve got a strategy for a reason.
You trust it, you’ve backtested it, and it’s made it through countless simulations and reviews.
Whether you’re trading Forex, JSE Top 40 or even the Dow Jones Index.
When all the indicators in your system align, it’s time to act, not hesitate.
Remember, the market rewards action, not perfection.
If your system says “go,” then go. No second-guessing.
J.T.T.T – Just Take The Trade
SIGN #2: Your Entry Orders Are All in Place
You’ve placed your entry orders and planned each move with the same precision as a grandmaster in chess.
So why keep checking every tick?
If you’ve calculated your entry points and set them with intention, then you’ve done your job.
This is your chance to let the market do the rest.
Obsessing over every micro-move will only drag you into a rabbit hole of doubt.
Set it and step away.
SIGN #3: It Matches Your Risk & Reward Criteria
Your trade has a purpose, and you’ve defined it by setting your risk and reward limits.
When your setup meets these criteria, there’s no reason to stick around second-guessing the play.
You know your max loss, and you know your target profit. You’ve thought it through rationally, and now it’s time to trust that process.
You’re here to be a professional, not a perfectionist.
SIGN #4: You’ve Nailed Down Your Trade Size
Position sizing is a science in itself, and you’ve already done the math.
You’re not risking more than you’re willing to lose, and you’re confident in the upside.
If you’ve set your trade size according to your plan, you’ve already protected your capital.
The last thing you need is to add or subtract impulsively. Let the size stay as it is and let the market move.
Conclusion: Trust and Release
Trading is as much about discipline as it is about analysis.
If you’ve done the work, checked off every box, and know your limits, the best thing you can do is walk away and let your trade breathe.
Micromanaging won’t make you money; it’ll just wear you out.
The market is like a river – you can’t force it to flow your way. You can only guide your boat down the path you’ve chosen and let the current do its thing.
When you’ve planned the trade, trust yourself enough to leave it alone.
So let’s sum up the FOUR signs to let your trade go.
SIGN #1: The System Lined Up Perfectly
SIGN #2: Your Entry Orders Are All in Place
SIGN #3: It Matches Your Risk & Reward Criteria
SIGN #4: You’ve Nailed Down Your Trade Size

SPX500 | Futures Rise on Intel Boost Ahead of CPI DataSPX500 | Futures Rise on Intel Boost Ahead of CPI Data 📊
Wall Street futures edged higher on Friday, lifted by strong Intel earnings, as investors await a crucial U.S. inflation report (CPI) that could influence the likelihood of a December rate cut.
Technically, the SPX500 maintains a bullish structure, with potential to extend gains toward 6,792 → 6,838, especially if CPI data comes in below or in line with expectations.
However, if inflation prints higher than expected, the index could face bearish pressure toward 6,720 → 6,670.
Pivot Line: 6,770
Resistance: 6,792 – 6,838
Support: 6,720 – 6,670
High CPI, Higher Markets: America’s Paradox of ConfidenceBy Giorgalexis
The CPI is high, inflation refuses to die — yet Wall Street keeps climbing.
Indices sit at all-time highs, the Fed is signaling possible rate cuts, and investors keep chanting the same mantra:
“We’re Americans. We can handle everything.”
Soft landing? ✅
Unemployment at 4.3%? “Totally fine.”
AI-driven construction and growth? “The new frontier.”
The narrative feels bulletproof — or at least that’s what we want to believe.
The Illusion of Strength
In global negotiations, a falling market equals weakness.
No U.S. president wants to appear vulnerable, especially with geopolitical rivals watching.
When the S&P 500 is breaking records, America looks unstoppable — confident, dominant, secure.
So everything must happen before the cracks start to show.
But illusions don’t last forever.
The Secret Recession
Beneath the headlines, the economy tells a different story.
Corporate margins are thinning, credit card delinquencies are creeping higher, and consumer sentiment is quietly deteriorating.
Liquidity is evaporating for small businesses, even as megacaps report “record profits.”
Everyone feels the slowdown — yet few are willing to admit it.
This is the Secret Recession: a quiet contraction hiding behind the noise of a bullish market.
The Gold Paradox
Even gold has joined the party — trading at all-time highs while stocks do the same.
That’s not normal.
Gold usually shines when fear dominates, not when markets are euphoric.
When both gold and equities rise together, it signals a market that’s swimming in liquidity but drowning in doubt.
Investors are hedging against something — maybe inflation that never really went away, maybe a Fed policy mistake, or maybe the silent recognition that global stability is more fragile than it looks.
Central banks keep buying gold, the dollar stays firm, and everyone pretends it’s business as usual.
But every ounce of gold at record highs is a vote of no-confidence — not in America’s power, but in its sustainability.
The Paradox of Confidence
The Fed faces a dangerous equation:
Cut rates too soon, and inflation re-ignites.
Hold them too high, and growth breaks.
Yet markets have priced in both — strong growth and imminent easing.
It’s a fantasy of eternal expansion.
AI will save productivity, rates will drop, earnings will rise, and geopolitics will magically calm down.
Until data proves otherwise.
Because once the market starts doubting the narrative, once data becomes stronger than politics, the illusion fades — fast.
How Long Can It Last?
For now, momentum is on America’s side.
Global capital still wants to flow into the U.S.
China and Russia may challenge the order, but Wall Street remains the global benchmark for optimism.
Still, confidence is not infinite.
Markets rise on belief — and collapse on doubt.
Gold already senses what equities refuse to see.
Final Thought
As traders, we live for momentum.
But even the strongest trend hides a reversal point.
When optimism turns into policy, and markets become diplomacy, it’s only a matter of time before reality reclaims the chart.
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 Slips as Netflix Earnings Cool Wall Street OptimismWall Street Futures Struggle as Netflix Results Weigh on Sentiment
U.S. stock index futures fluctuated on Wednesday as investors moved cautiously through a heavy earnings season, with Netflix’s weaker-than-expected profits cooling risk appetite and adding pressure to market sentiment.
🕯 Technical Outlook
SPX500 has collected volume below the 6,754 pivot line, suggesting potential bearish correction ahead.
As long as the price trades below 6,754, the bias remains bearish, targeting 6,738 → 6,717 → 6,699.
Conversely, a 1H close above 6,771 would confirm a bullish continuation, paving the way toward 6,792 → 6,838.
Pivot: 6,754

Resistance: 6,771 – 6,792 – 6,838
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.
