Turnaround Tuesday? ✅ Morning Levels + Setup (Tues, Aug 20)
Could be, Monday gave us the setup.
I’m watching building permits at 8:30. If those come in hot, it’s a signal housing’s holding up → stronger consumer → rate hike odds perk up → possible dollar spike → pressure on QQQ.
VIX is still asleep at 14.98, but if that creeps over 16.50, tone changes fast. Complacency’s real ,use it.
SPY levels I care about today:
646.40 = upside line in the sand
642.50 = support to hold
638 / 632 = where I’d aim puts if things unwind
Not overthinking it, waiting for price to confirm.

SP500 ETF: Fibonacci MappingAs you may know, Williams Fractals indicator identifies potential reversal points by marking a high (or low) surrounded by two lower highs (or higher lows) on each side, forming a five-bar pattern that signals possible turning points in price. Unfortunately, the simplicity of such indicator provides just tiny perspective, undermining broad implication of the concept.
Before I begin diving into processing geometric narrative of emerging price via fibonacci channels, I want to explain how I interpret fractals.
When I use the term "fractal", I'm not just talking about the points alone. Market continuously corrects itself, so analyzing it by price alone can bring more confusion than help. The object of observation shouldn't be limited to quantifying just by a single property. Chaos by default requires awareness from both price and time aspects. The easiest way to root it in my vision was through realization that price is a function of trading time intervals. Its activity can be described as cyclical progression, as if it is wired by multiple "springs" of different tensions.
Classic TA patterns known to literally anyone are great for anticipating a move in surface level forecasts. Since my line of work focuses on prediction over forecasts, it requires deeper structural awareness behind complex oscillations.
Let's observe the way selloff scales from ATH and how it impacts fractal hierarchy.
The first corrective bullish wave can be explained as a reaction to initial impulsive bearish wave. The bigger scale drop from ATH to a lower point explains why the corrective bullish wave looks the way it is. And so on:
In fractals, scaling laws describe how key properties change with size, typically following power-law relationships that reflect the structure’s self-similarity, where a characteristic scales with the size raised to an exponent.
To build a probabilistic model, we must keep in mind how the smaller bits make up bigger scale picture. ATH, established bottom and angle of progression defined by pullback highs, all those points have structural weight. Since psychology of masses that shapes price dynamics is governed by mathematical sequences found in nature, it's fair to use Fibonacci Channels to map the geometry of interconnectedness.
Similarly, all of those points can be referred by another fibonacci channel with opposite direction.
From my perspective, traditional TA patterns reflect just phases of cycle, this is why I unify those fragments into broader scalable shapes. This distinctive branch of Fractal Analysis allows to track systematic aspects of market behavior and explains how a pattern replicates itself in rhythmic continuity.

SPY: Will Keep Falling! Here is Why:
Balance of buyers and sellers on the SPY pair, that is best felt when all the timeframes are analyzed properly is shifting in favor of the sellers, therefore is it only natural that we go short on the pair.

PRICE BROKEN ABOVE WEEKLY BOS 640 LEVEL
Bullish
If the market retests the BOS zone and holds it as support, we could see continuation toward new highs. I’ll be watching the 4hr demand zone to confirm buyer strength. Ideally, the weekly BOS should hold, and price should remain above the 4hr BOS support level.
Bearish scenario
If the BOS fails, price may pull back to the next major weekly support, with the potential for a deeper retracement.
Bullish 🟢
• Hold above 640.46 great indication for continuation (BOS zone)
• Buyers defend 4hr demand zone (638.64–635.09)
• Short-term target: 646.22, extended target: 650.44
Bearish 🔴
• Break and close below 635.09 (4hr demand low)
• Next major support: 631.68 → 620.00 zone
• If 620 fails, deeper retracement possible toward 608.95, then 593.53
From FOMO to Game Over: The Witch’s Market ProphecyPolitics and market forces are cooking the soup too hot, and greed is on the menu. Investors, funds, and retail traders are ignoring the signs — and just like in the Wild West, only the weapons have changed: stocks, futures, and options. Today, we’ll peek over the witch’s shoulder to see what she sees in the chart’s shadows.
The Setup
This chart shows the market reaching the U-MLH (Upper Median Line Parallel) for the third time. Even this week, the greedy market is nibbling at that level, trying to chew its way higher. The question: does it break through — or break down?
Scenarios
(0) → Price touches the U-MLH for the third time.
Historically, repeated touches can lead to either an explosive breakout or a sharp reversal.
(2) → A momentum kick, driven by FOMO, could push price up to the Warning 1/4 line.
This would be the bulls’ dream run.
(3) → The market reaches the next pitchfork line/deviation — because that’s what markets do.
After that? Only the market gods know.
(4) → Price fails to reach WL1 (Warning Line 1), triggering a Hagopian.
This typically signals a failed breakout and a likely pullback.
Key question: Will U-MLH hold as support?
If not, expect a quick test/retest from below… then it’s Game Over.
(5) → In 80% of cases, the centerline gets tagged as Profit Target 1.
That could be the “logical” next stop.
(6) → L-MLH (Lower Median Line Parallel) — the panic zone.
This is when fear takes over, selling accelerates, and the market feels like the fan just got hit.
Final Word
Whatever happens next, the witch doesn’t care — she’ll be riding her broom into the moonrise, leaving the rest of us to trade the chaos.

$SPY Analysis, Key Levels & Targets
What a crazy day. We had a CPI in premarket today then we kept up and we took it past all-time highs to the top of the implied move to the top of the implied move on the next day so we close just under 643.
I do believe that tomorrow we will be trading around 643, maybe even between 641 and 643. Thursday we have PPI and because we're in an in between day tomorrow I think we might be a little bit more flat also look at how high up that 35 EMA is within the training range
