US30: Late-Cycle Pop or Pullback Setup?The 𝐃𝐨𝐰 is pressing fresh highs into a historically soft seasonal window with stretched momentum and limited follow-through. I’m initiating/adding to a daily timeframe short aiming for a retrace back into prior breakout territory. My baseline path is a drift lower toward 44,500–44,000 (T1) and then the broader demand band near 43,000–42,2500 (T2), where I’ll reassess. This isn’t a “crash” call—just a tactical mean-reversion as macro tailwinds fade, breadth narrows and the first Fed cut shifts the narrative from “rates down” to “why they’re down.” Technicals: • Stretched swing: Price has stair-stepped higher with shallow pullbacks; we’re now extended above the 50/100-DMA stack with waning impulse on push days (smaller real bodies, upper wicks). • Local resistance: Repeated stalls into the same supply shelf. I’m leaning into the most recent failed extension and fading the box. Structure map: • Entry: around/into the failed-break zone 46.4k area. • Invalidation: daily close > recent spike highs around 47.7k-48.0k. • Targets: T1 45,000–44,500 (prior ATH retest / micro-POC region); T2 44,000–43,000. • Risk: 0.5–1.0R per add; scale in only on rejection prints or lower-highs. Fundamentals: 1) The first Fed cut is not automatically bullish. The Fed delivered a 25 bps cut in September and signaled more easing, which historically can coincide with late-cycle growth scares and choppier equity returns rather than a straight-line melt-up. The cut was framed around cooling activity and inflation progress.  2) Growth data is mixed—manufacturing still weak. The ISM Manufacturing PMI remained in contraction in August (48.7)—below the 50 expansion line—signaling ongoing softness in goods demand. That is typically a headwind for the Dow’s cyclical mix.  3) ES500 (S&P 500) breadth is narrow; concentration risk elevated. Mega-caps continue to dominate performance and index leadership, while equal-weight underperforms and concentration risk stays high—conditions that historically increase pullback vulnerability.  4) Valuations are rich versus history. FactSet’s mid-summer forward 12-month P/E for the S&P 500 hovered well above 5- and 10-year averages (>22x vs. ~19x/17x), leaving less cushion if growth wobbles or margins compress.  5) Sentiment & seasonality aren’t tailwinds. September/early Q4 are seasonally tricky—historically the weakest stretch for US equities—just as the market tries to price the path of cuts vs. growth.  6) Policy & trade headline risk. Tariff timelines and “reciprocal” duties remain in play (with officials signaling Aug-1 implementation and additional measures possible), a rolling overhang for global cyclicals and exporters tied into the Dow complex.  Note: Please remember to adjust this trade idea according to your individual trading conditions, including position size, broker-specific price variations, and any relevant external factors. Every trader’s situation is unique, so it’s crucial to tailor your approach to your own risk tolerance and market environment.

US30 WatchFor those who see this I am a London/NY session intraday trader. So currently I'm watching Us30 I like to wait for a move and a obvious pull back and then continuation. I try not to have a predetermined bias because US30 tends go anywhere at anytime more times than it's not, it's more in my favor to react than to predict. Since 5AM its touched one of my quarter levels. I'm looking for some sort of higher time frame retracement and then looking for entries. I try to keep my strategy simple. My charts are simple. I follow my own version of price action, which I'll look to explain as I continue to post my charts throughout the week. As of right now this is what I see and I'm still waiting.

Massive WALL STREET Short At All Time High Price is testing the all time high while a head and shoulders formation is visible on the Daily, indicating potential distribution at resistance On H4, momentum is overbought and price has remained range bound for approximately four sessions, signaling reduced follow through on the upside Sentiment appears fragile amid discussion of an AI driven excess, and risk appetite is moderating into strength Harmonic confluence is present, with a deep crab on H1 and a crab on H4 aligning near current levels to define a potential reversal zone Multi-timeframe momentum is stretched up to H4; bearish RSI divergence is present on H1 and H4, with H4 showing roughly a 15-point divergence while price holds flat Repeated failures at the all-time high confirm supply; this level continues to cap advances and strengthens the resistance profile The H1 trend has transitioned from flat to lower, shifting near-term bias to the downside within the broader range Cross-market context is consistent, as major US indices are also near record highs and failing to extend, which adds intermarket confirmation Risk parameters are defined with a stop above 48,250 or above the all-time high at 48,425, which would invalidate the reversal thesis Initial downside objective is 47,300, corresponding to the next significant support and consistent with an H4 scale pullback Position management should consider partial profit taking at interim supports and a reduction in risk if RSI resets higher without corresponding price weakness
