Last time I wrote you I forewarned you of a "rollover top pattern" in the S+P 500 that was clearly developing on the chart. Like a hurricane brewing over open water, it was coming right at you. This weeks Fed meeting proved to be the catalyst for the pattern execution. Landfall hit. Let me warn you. If the S+P 500 Closes below the June 26,2023 Low of...

Perhaps more than one realizes. This has triggered a "lower price alert signal, in my...

No sooner had the S+P 500 "gapped up" this morning, opening at 4442.87, and then quickly rising to 4458.30, sellers came out in droves selling the breakout rally, and just like that..poof...the S+P 500 broke back thru 4435, and yesterdays buy signal evaporated like dust.

As long as the S+P 500 Closes "above" todays close of 4468.84 on Friday August 11,2023 then a proprietary 4 Hour "Open" Chart, that I keep manually has rendered a "BUY SIGNAL" at the Market Close on August 10, 2023 Remember Risk/Reward is almost always "tilting" in the polar opposite market direction of what is obvious to most so you have to see your...
