SPX is riding the decending resisnace lineDidnt do much except covered ES short from last night entry.
3886 is a very important resistance level.
Looking at ES small timeframe chart, there is a possible IHS is developing, but so muted, it can fail, but I will go long at 73ES and 68ES (might extend to 58ES) with a stop for tomorrow's exit.
Still want some squeeze into tomorrow and fail there
Spxanalysis
SPX Weekend quick updateI was busy all weekend, this update will be quick.
Still seeing this as a bear market, well it is for the past 9 months wasnt it.
The main trend is still down!
Please note those purple lines are the unfilled gaps, will be gone each time the price will fill those, otherwise act as magnet to fill, depends on the trend
Looking at the price action, I can see 1-2, 1-2 development (Im not an EWT pro or do I want to be at this point) to the downside and much lower levels into Oct/Nov low.
Also think, that this bear market will merge into Q1 2023 and should bottom sometime in Apr/early May
As for this upcoming week of Sep 19th:
- Im looking for a day or 2 muted bounce and continue lower after the FOMC decision.
- If we see the opposite, a drift lower into the FOMC decision, then I would be looking for a long right before the announcement.
I think we will bottom this week on the 21st-22nd, or make a intraday low next week 27-29th.
Friday price action wasnt what I expected and limited to the downside by holding 3850 level.
I dont find that level important to hold and think its a low level of support at this point.
The most important thing on Friday was this - the price gaped down below my 3880-86 support level, which was much stronger then 3850 level.
So I think this can still get to 3802-17SPX early next week, ideally on Monday and then move up into a muted action to 3950-60SPX level and reverse lower from there.
Main weekly resistance is 4155-60 with 4015-25 in the middle.
Support levels:
- 3802-17
- 3750-55
- 3735-40
- 3720
- below last number nothing but air till 3636 and my ideal target of 3580, 3550-55 and 3500 even.
My main target for this move is at 3200-10SPX! And I think we will see lower into 2020 higher lows in 2023
Im looking to buy longs tomorrow in 3802-17 zone or just short 3950 zone.
No need in over trading this but the levels of importance!
Have a great weekend, do not over trade, this bear market will get both sides, wait for a good setup to take with higher R/R odds

Posted this on the 12th of Sep, playing out so well!!!I did post this warning on Sep 12th as well as emailed to those who are on my email list.
Check the MACD on that day and now! It created a hook and continued lower, bearish!
Some people noted and didnt get trapped on that day, it was daily high close
DO NOT GET TRAPPED Today!!!
Dont short this red whole!
Have to leave, will be back in few hours, again dont get trapped on the short side today!

SPX Sep 15th mid day updateI was sleeping in today, no point to trade this market but hold swing short position.
Mid Bollinger or 20MA crossed 110MA on daily, not a good sign for the bulls. MACD is still making new lows.
This seems to get to 3680SPX by the FOMC decision or right after.
Main resistance now is at 4030-45SPX
Mid resistance is at 3970-85SPX and I think we wont get above on any test, like it came short yesterday.
I will short 3970-85 level for a continuation of this move down
So far its breaking down here to my eyes and should follow through soon.
Main support is at 3880-86 now! On closing level
I will be trying long at 3880-86SPX tomorrow am, but its OPEX day and all the quarterly hedges will be off the lines and this can unleash much bigger swings in both directions, but main direction is down.
After the FOMC meeting 3680 should produce a good size bounce and ideally we see lower in Oct, 35-34 handle is very doable imo.
So need to over trade this as it chops both sides!
SPX quick updateI want quickly update the SPX chart.
2 scenarios:
1 - we gap down tomorrow
2 - we hold the lows and go up in am
First scenario:
Support is at 3885-86SPX
And nothing till 3800-20
I would be looking for 3775 and ideally 3680 as the main targets before or buy 20-21st.
Second scenario is we see 3970-85SPX tomorrow and sell off into above outlined numbers by 20-21st.
Or we make a higher low and stretch to 4152-55 and ideally above 4200+ to a potential 4295-4300 by same 20-21st.
4145-60 is a very strong resistance!
So all eyes are on the overnight or pre-market action.
Breaking today's lows will be bearish and we closed below my 3955 and especially 3935SPX today, so I favour a gap down in this case.
Holding 3885-86 level tomorrow am, will be a good sign for a potential reversal, below is air till 3800-20SPX
I have positions on both sides and I personally would love to see an extension up into 4155 and even 4295SPX zone before the real crash happens.
Looking for lower levels regardless of the price and ideally we wont get there in one straight line.
Im looking for a low in Oct and that low should be a good buying opportunity going into EOY
Have a good night

SPX MACD hook formation - warned Monday amI did warn about this possible outcome early Monday am
All we need is to gap down tomorrow (which has a high probability now as we closed below 3955 and especially 3935)
Then the downside targets will be 3775 and even 3680. It can even stretch to 3450 if Jun lows are broken.
Only a gap up tomorrow can save from this pathway for now.
Dont pay attention to the chart, but the MACD
P.S. Dont forget to like (click star-ship button) my posts, so it gets pushed up on TV for others to see as well.
Thanks in advance!
Reversion? That's just meanThe rising trendline from June's lows is the likely target for this decline. No idea what happens there, and I won't be buying it on the first touch.
Knives should be picked up off the floor, not caught!
If this is helpful to you, let me know in the comments and follow to get charts immediately.
SPX can extend to a higher high before the 21st or fail hardIts all about 4125-35, 4150-60 and 4202SPX now.
All 3 are resistance levels!
Support is at 4085-90 and 4025, below it we should see 3955SPX
Im not sure about the exact pathway, so my game plan is to short 4145-60 and 4202 zone. If we breakout I will flip for a trip back to 4285-92 and even over 4300SPX
Please note, that this can even extend to 4425 just to screw everyone out on both sides and then sell hard.
So regardless of the situation, I will be short (if we make a new high) or long (if we make a higher low) on the 20-21st or before the FOMC.
Ideally we spike up to 4125-35 and even 4145-60SPX tomorrow and sell off into Fri OPEX low. That low should produce a good setup for a few days rally before the FOMC decision on the 21st.
One certain thing is that the Oct low should provide a good buy and hold setup going into EOY high.
Ideally we make a new low in Oct and then higher low in Nov (before the Midterms) and then off we go together with Santa.
Jan (in case of the above scenario) should mark the high and then we should see lows in Apr.
Levels of importance tomorrow:
- 4145
- 4160-62
Closing above those levels will get us back to 4195-4205SPX by Fri.
Im going to short tomorrow's gap for the crap scenario. Ideally we hit 4125-35 or even 4145-60 in am and crap from there.
Have a good night

SPX possible pathway to min 3720 and ideal 3450!I want to present a very possible pathway in case MACD will make a hook like turn, which is very bearish!
I saw this many times, when everyone is cheering bullish and looking for that golden cross and all they get is a the hook formation (zoomed in and outlined at the bottom of the chart)
So far MACD is still way below 0, RSI is at 50 level and could make a lower high.
We have touched 50% today and one more push to 4150 zone for 61.8 (see the retracement fibs on the chart) is what I would expect to hold for that MACD hook formation.
- 4090 is the support now,
- 4125-35, 4145 and 4160 resistance
So stay alert, have stops if trading on the long side!
BTW all the pink lines are the unfilled gaps

SPX gapped up, no Fri sell off repeate, main support is at 4025We didnt get a move down off am highs as I was hoping for, gap up above 4020-35 happen, so the move lower is off the table.
Now 4025 and 4015 are 2 main supports to hold for next week to continue advance. 4085 is next target.
This still can be a fakeout and if we close below am open, and especially below 4015SPX it will be bearish and I will be looking for 3925 to test early next week before push to higher levels.
I got stopped on half short from overnight and holding the other half for the fakeout scenario.
Will hedge at 4025 and 4015 level (will cut if we close below 4015)
So far the pathway up is in play, I dont expect much lower till 4125-35 test and ideally 4200

Thanks in advance!
SPX weekly closing day - Fri updateHi everyone!
Im still battling with timing on the high and potential crash this/next month.
We either bottom this month, we have interest rate decision on the 21st and then up into Oct 3rd week where the turn suppose to happen and last into EOM or even Nov.
My timing showing a low in Oct/Nov.
There is a chance for us to see 4425! but the lows we just had must hold, then that high will be early Oct.
But there are several supper strong resistances to overtake:
- 4085
- 4125-35
- 4308
- 4385SPX
My fib calculation as well as previous calculations support this possible pathway, then the Oct/Nov low will be in 3240SPX zone!!!
- There is also a 61.8 retracement at 3195SPX off 2020 Mar lows!
- This move up will be a perfect C wave up of the bigger B wave in case we made A high in Aug (I have this pathway outlined in green count)
My main count is still to hold 4125-35 and ideally stretch to 4200SPX before serious selling into EOM.
- I have Panic month on Oct in SPX and Sep for the DOW. Interesting thing is SPX had a panic month on Sep as well, but cycles have moved it to Oct now.
But I want to be open for a potential screw up of the bears and making the bulls believe we are on the pathway to ATHs (again). That alone will screw up so many!
Ideally we make a higher monthly close in Sep and intraday high early Oct, then the cycles will match with the turn in Oct where we can have a huge sell into MidTerms.
- Then we should rally into EOY to do a damage control and top out in Jan. Im still battling about Santa Rally as this year is completely different from others.
- Also energy and food crisis in Europe might put a lot of pressure into the markets, unless there is a bigger war erupted and the European money will flow into the US. Which I do expect to happen next year or 2024...
So lets talk about tomorrow, so I can go to sleep:
Today's close was into the wall with last 10 min pump, that usually ends up in following day being red, at least first part of it. Also closed below intraday highs = not bullish.
- Needs a gap up above 4020 (and ideally 4030) or we should see lower levels tomorrow.
Im short into tomorrow from the close and some from AHs highs, half position.
Last few weeks we dump big on Friday's, will it repeat tomorrow? My bet is yes.
Tomorrow is a turning day!
Ideally we see a higher low tomorrow and reverse hard into last hour or 2 of the day and never look back, that would setup a move for much higher next week
Its VIX OPEX on Wed, triple witching week
200MA here on 4h chart is the ideal target for this move!
- Or 4125-35 and ideal at 4200+ for the top of this move this month
Tomorrow resistance is at:
- first resistance 4020SPX
- Main resistance to take 40350SPX
- 4085SPX is the closing resistance for higher levels early next week
The only real support I have now is low 3800 cluster, if we test 3885-3900 again it will slice it imo.
So lets see if they can push it up and save the day before and at least the OPEX and the interest rate decision on the 21st.
Have a good night!

SPX Sunday email updateHere is my SPX update I sent out to those who are on my email list:
Ideally we see lower open on Sunday and maybe Monday and then push higher into the cash open on Tuesday (we already got the first part), that would be bullish.
Also, I wont rule out a move down to 3840-50ES on Monday and 12k NQ and reverse to open green on Tuesday, that would be very bullish imo.
- NQ must hold 12055 and the ES 3915 and 3905 on any test (ideally it wont test it at all!)
- Going below Fri, Thu lows will be very bearish and the bullish count will be buried. There is still a huge potential of a crash from the oversold conditions. But I hope the big boys will lift it up again into OPEX time and distribute and sell more before the big rug pull I'm expecting in Sep/Oct time.
We have met my first target on the upside to the penny, straight into the circle I put early on the chart early July.
- This is the chart (link below) from Jul 17th (just click the play button on the chart from your desktop or laptop). As you noticed I have not changed my main pathway even once! In fact I haven't changed my main market view since end of Nov of the 2021 (was one month early on the SPX when NDX did hit the high that month)! I still believe we are not going to 5500 like some others do for the whole year and hope I saved many accounts from being blown up on the long side. At least for those who listened to me in Dec/Jan.
I will be wrong at some point on the bigger picture and will reevaluate when I see signs of the changes, otherwise its playing out well this year so far
- The market do test both sides and it seems the high came earlier by less then 2 weeks.
- My main goal is to figure the low area and the timing for the upcoming lows this fall, as I don't want to get trapped on the short side and wait for "one more low" before the Santa Rally (if we even going to have one this year). But Im expecting the next high to come in Jan and turn down to Apr final low of this first big Bear leg down (I call it the big A)
On SPX simple chart, you can see that we are in the thinnest part of the cloud and usually its an easy breakdown/break up zone. We really have to hold that 3895-3910SPX zone for the markets to push higher from here.
The main resistance for Tuesday is at 4025-30SPX! If we gap up above it, then the next resistance is at 4060 and 4080. 4015 will become the main support!
I'm not sure if its doable to have a 100 points gap up on Monday, but it has to gap up above 3960SPX!
- If the open will be flat its not bullish and it can sell again to make new lows into 3850 zone.
I'm very skeptical of this price action, its very weird imo and there is something behind it, which can shake the markets hard, both directions, but mainly to the downside. All the surprises are to the downside now.
My main target for this move up (if we have bottomed) is 4125-35SPX, that would be a very strong resistance to take. Above it, it can stretch back to 4250 and even 4285SPX.
So again, SPX MUST take 4025 level and then hold 4015! Only then I will be looking for those higher levels I mentioned above.
Enjoy rest of your long weekend!
SPX MUST HOLD 3890-3900 tomorrow!Futs are down and it seems the flush continues!
Must hold the 3910-43 cluster tomorrow or it opens the door for low 3800!
Absolute must hold is at 3890-3900 tomorrow am, right at the support trendline!
If it holds and reverses tomorrow, we should go up into the 5th high, ideally we see 4080-4135 at min
Have a good night
SPX Daily TA Cautiously BearishSPXUSD Daily cautiously bearish. Recommended ratio: 25% SPX, 75% Cash.
*Equities, Equity Futures and Gold are all slightly down to start the week while Cryptos, VIX, Energy and US Treasuries are up and DXY has stayed relatively flat. The Risk-Off reaction to Jerome Powell's hawkish comments in Jackson Hole last Friday is continuing into the start of this week. Financial markets will likely stay choppy leading up to the Jobs Report on on September 2nd and CPI on September 13th; both of these data points will provide guidance regarding whether the Fed will increase FFR by 50bps or 75bps on September 21st. Meanwhile Europe is facing what is likely to be a cold winter marked by energy rations and high prices, this is something to keep an eye on as it has the potential to exacerbate global recession fears. Key Upcoming Dates: August Consumer Confidence Index at 10am EST 08/30 ; 9th GDPNow US Q3 GDP estimate at 10am EST 09/01; August Employment Situation 830am EST 09/02.*
Price is currently trending down at ~$4050 after breaking below the uptrend line from 06/16/22 at ~$4145, it's fast approaching a retest of the 50 MA at ~$4k as support. Volume remains Moderate (high) and is on track to favor buyers in today's session, after favoring sellers in last Friday's, if it can close today's session in the green. Parabolic SAR flips bullish at $4254 minor resistance, this margin is neutral at the moment. RSI continues to trend down at 43 as it approaches a retest of the uptrend line from 01/27/22 at 38 support. Stochastic is currently neutral and trending sideways at 10, the next resistance is at 18 and the next support at max bottom. MACD remains bearish and is currently trending down at 23 with no signs of trough formation as it still technically is testing 33 support. ADX is currently beginning to form a trough at 23 as Price continues to fall, this is neutral at the moment.
If Price is able to bounce here then it will likely see a bit of resistance at $4100 before it aims to retest $4175 resistance . However, if Price continues to fall here, it will likely retest the 50 MA at ~$4k psychological support and potentially lower to retest $3938 minor support . Mental Stop Loss: (two consecutive closes above) $4100.
SPX end of the week updateI had no time to post this last night, but I did the ES.
We did hit my upper target at 4210-20, reversed and never looked back!
Was looking for this move for several days now, but it came so big, I didnt expect to have so much of a move in 1 day.
This gives me more confidence on my lower target zone to hit 3930-50SPX
So for today's close 2 very important numbers are:
- 4157
-4125
Closing below second number will make me even more confident of seeing that lower target next week.
Main supports are:
- 4078 (expect a good bounce from this number, ideally to test 5150 level)
- 4050
Main daily resistance is at 4177 now
have a great weekend
SPX level of importance is 4145 on closingMorning, quick update here
Lets see if we close below 4145 again, then we are going down into the 29th low
I have a main resistance to hit at 4166+-, above it it can stretch to 4175-76, should hold the night highs today and make a lower high during the regular hours imo
Im going to short 4166 and 4175-76 with a stop
Im currently long ES from 4148, tight stop there
SPX flagging, there is a good setup for a good size gap down SPX flagging, there is a good setup for a good size gap down tomorrow.
Again has to gap down below 4255-57SPX to mark the top being in place (reference to March topping pattern)
If we gap down to 4189-4207SPX (the bottom of the channel) and hold it early from the open, then I will go long for a move up into the close.
If this is what will play out, then we should re-test 4308.50-23 on Monday with a gap up and crap.
So must watch number for tomorrow is 4189-4207. Must gap down below 4255 to have this setup more probable!
Some good setups are coming, just need to be patient.
Maj resistance is at 4308.5SPX on closing level.
SPX needs a Gap Down below 4255-57 tomorrow...Quick update.
The price needs to gap down tomorrow below 4255-57 to confirm the top being in place.
Usually this type of the move trap bulls for long, so as long as we gap down hard tomorrow, I can mark the top being in.
There is still a room to squeeze to 4330-34, but Im not really playing it unless I see a good setup.
If we gap up tomorrow, will have to revisit my charts.
Tomorrow should continue today's day, we had a reversal to downside and if this is real we should see a low on the 22nd-23rd, small bounce 23-24th and last low or higher low on the 25-26th
24th is a panic cycle day! Mark it on your calendar
Numbers to watch tomorrow:
- Maj resistance is the same - 4308.50 (on closing level)
- First main support is at 4255-57
- 4220 and next is at 4175
- Ideal target of this move is at 4125-46
Ideally we should see something similar of a move from EOM Mar high. You can revisit a gap down below 4520, which was retested and never seen since after.
Tomorrow's move should be a start of the first move down, fits with cycle lows into 22-23rd or 25-26th, then a rally into Labour Day high/lower high.
The week of Sep 5th is a panic cycle week, so a gap down from there is expected to trap all the bulls, especially after staying long over the long weekend.
Have a good night
spx500Hello everyone,
We have a very clear 3 wave structure here that has extended the 3rd over the 1.618% fib extension after breaking up from the ending diagonal in the intermediate 4th wave position. I wouldn't expect SP500 to fill the 3,800 or 3,600 gap anytime soon guys. So I think 4,000 or maybe , possibly over shot 3,900 worst case IMO. The 1 fib level will likely hold as strong support, but let's see.
We also know our buddy Jim Crammer is bearish, so there's that...
SPX Aug 17th updateExpected a high being hit today, we got it. Expected a close below 4308.5SPX, we got it. Expected a red close, got it only on NASDAQ and Small Caps.
As long as we stay below 4340SPX we should see lower is my next expectation.
VIX (see my update earlier) has a clear ISH pattern.
Main support is 4177SPX
Tomorrow must watch numbers are
- 4285 and especially 75, failure of holding the last number can be a good sign of the local top, need much lower to mark the maj top!
- Resistance is the same 4308.50 on the closing level.
- Upper target zone is around 4330-34SPX in case it wants to tag it, Im not playing it and will be looking for a short setup instead.
I expect this to dive down to 4150+- SPX zone by the 24th-26th and one more push to lower low /double top, or if broken above - 4425+ sometime early Sep.
Not favouring the second scenario, but can be a case for the larger B wave top in Jan.
Im not in the camp of new ATH's and the lows being in, I dont change my count to fit the price or put many counts to be right regardless.
If Im wrong at some point (everyone makes mistakes), I will admit and only then change my view. We are not even close to have that view changed at this point.
Also want to bring the attention to Sep and hope many will make a note of this warning - there is a chance we could crash that month and my charts do reflect that.
Will it be serious or not as much, I have no idea, but I see some serious signs of something happening that month.
You have been warned.
Have a good night
SPX hit 4308.50 target!Ideal target has been met!
Watch to close below 4308.50, ideally we close red, tomorrow will be a bigger sell off with the bounce on the 18th.
The target zone is at 4300-33, it can stretch into 20s, I will short it there, or short if we close below 4308.50
Timing should be right as per my last night update.
I will post a zoomed out chart after the close with the expected pathway into Oct low.
One thing to mention is I wont be holding any longs after end of this month!
Sep can produce a good crash, you've been warned!
