SPX 1W – Long-Term Breakout Holding, Can the Rally Sustain?The S&P 500 just printed a weekly breakout above historical highs, tapping into uncharted territory above 6,300 — but now the question is whether the trend can sustain or if a deeper retest is on the horizon.
🔹 Macro Structure
Multiple clean support levels exist below, each marking prior macro pivots — from the 2020 breakout to the 2022 base.
The most immediate zone of interest is 6,100–6,200, which could act as a bullish retest zone if this breakout is valid.
Deeper downside remains structurally healthy unless 4,250 or below is breached.
🔹 Trend Health
Price remains well above the EMA 50 and 100, showing no signs of structural weakness.
Pullbacks into the EMAs historically triggered trend continuation — and bulls will likely treat those zones as reload points.
🔹 Big Picture
As long as SPX holds above 5,400, the macro bull trend remains intact.
A drop to retest lower zones wouldn’t necessarily break the uptrend — but it would shake sentiment and invite reaccumulation.
Is this the beginning of a new macro leg — or the last shake before a deeper correction?
Let’s chart it out 👇
SP500FT trade ideas
SPX500
Based on the provided 4-hour chart of the S&P 500 Index (SPX500), here is a brief summary and outlook.
The SPX500 has been in a clear uptrend, as indicated by the trend channel and a series of higher highs and higher lows. The price is currently facing resistance near the 6,450 level, where a recent high was made before a pullback. The chart also highlights several key support zones, with the most immediate one being around the 6,290 level.
The chart illustrates a potential scenario where the price consolidates or pulls back from the current resistance. The orange arrow depicts a possible movement where the price could retrace towards the immediate support level around 6,290 before finding buyers. From this support, the expectation is for the uptrend to resume, with the price aiming to break through the resistance at 6,450. A successful breakout would open the path towards the upper boundary of the trend channel, with a target set around 6,600.
The key expectation is a continuation of the overall bullish trend after a potential short-term dip. Traders should look for the price to hold above the support at 6,290 for a long entry opportunity. A break below this support would be a bearish signal, but as long as the price stays within the trend channel, the overall bias remains bullish. The final target for this move is projected to be around the 6,600 level, which aligns with the trend channel's upper boundary.
S&P500 awaits US CPI data capped by 6437US equities were little changed Monday. Nvidia (-0.35%) and AMD (-0.28%) slipped after agreeing to pay 15% of Chinese AI chip sales revenue to the US government in exchange for export licenses — a deal Trump confirmed, adding he may allow a scaled-down Blackwell chip to be sold in China. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index fell -0.13%, cushioned by Intel (+3.51%) after its CEO met with Trump. The Mag-7 (-0.09%) saw slight outperformance, led by Tesla (+2.85%).
Trump extended the US–China tariff truce by 90 days to November 10, keeping additional tariffs at 30%. China matched the extension.
The Fed chair search now includes vice chairs Bowman and Jefferson, plus Dallas Fed President Logan. Trump appointed EJ Antoni (Heritage Foundation) to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Markets await today’s US CPI, which could influence Fed rate-cut bets, while gold traders look for clarity after Trump said gold imports won’t be tariffed.

USD cpi yr/yr forecast of 2.8 looks too high for tomorrowBased upon the price of oil, the recent trend of CPI readings, and the 10 yr avg of 2.68 USD cpi reading may come in as a market miss tomorrow. The expected 2.8 looks to high relative to the trend of readings and the price of oil. It might be fair to expect a range of 2.4 to 2.7.
Activation of the rounded pattern? Or a trend reversal?In the previous analysis, we mentioned that the price was at a decision point — and it made its decision, managing to move up slightly before returning to the bottom of the channel.
Now, at the end of the channel, a pattern has formed. We need to see whether it gets activated or turns out to be a fake.
If the pattern fails (turns out fake), the bullish trend could continue more strongly.
S&P 500 extends drop - can dip buyers come to rescue again?After a decent rally earlier in the day, the major indices and futures started to ease off around mid-morning London trade, before easing further lower in the last couple of hours.
At the time of writing, the S&P was testing its session lows. Here it was probing support and a short-term bullish trend line in the 6319-6331 range. This area needs to hold to keep the bulls happy and in charge. Break this and we could see a bigger correction in the days ahead.
Resistance now comes in at 6372 followed by 6,400.

SPX: awaits inflation data Regardless of concerns regarding the future effects of implemented trade tariffs by the U.S. Administration, the positive sentiment continued to hold on the U.S. equity markets during the previous week. The S&P 500 closed the week at the level of 6.389, surging by 2,4% for the week. The index is slowly nearing its all time highest level, achieved on 31st July, at the level of 6.426.
Friday's rally was for one more time led by tech companies. Shares of Apple gained around 13% for the week, after the company announced its significant investments of $600B within the next four years in the U.S. Analysts are calling this deal as “appease” to the U.S. President, who on several occasions expressed his wish that IPhones are made in the U.S.A. As per comments made by Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, “the final assembly that you focus on, that will be elsewhere for a while”, meaning that the production of IPhones is still not going to be done in the U.S.A. Nevertheless, markets reacted positively to Cook's meeting with the U.S. President, especially taking into account a heavy burden of tariffs, which the U.S. President announced to be 100% on chip imports.
Considering current market sensitivity on inflation data, the week ahead might bring some major testing for the U.S. equity markets, as July inflation data are scheduled for a release. Analysts are noting that any surprises in the inflation figures might imply a correction in the value of US companies, especially after a significant surge during the last four months.

S&P 500 Obeying Elliott Wave TheoryThis is an update of a previous publication. A Flat occurred for Wave 2(Green) and if Wave 3 is over, we can expect a Zigzag for Wave 4. Zigzags have 3 waves. A confirmation at its current location will trigger a sell for Wave 4(Green).

The worst drops often come later!Don’t be fooled by the first crash… The worst drops often come later in a bear market.
Let’s break down the brutal truth about the 2008 GFC and what it teaches us today. 🧵
1.
In the 2007–2009 bear market, the S&P 500 had 7 failed rallies before finally bottoming.
Every bounce looked like the bottom — and every one was a trap.
👇
2.
The early drops were steep:
🔻 Down 11%
🔻 Down 17%
But the most violent crashes came after those…
Near the END — not the beginning — of the bear market.
3.
Later stage declines:
❌ Down 28%
❌ Down 36%
❌ Down 29%
That’s when capitulation kicked in.
Investors gave up. Fear took over.
4.
Capitulation volume isn’t a guaranteed bottom.
It feels like it’s over.
But if fundamentals haven’t turned and the trend isn’t broken, the bear can still bite — hard.
5.
Final crashes are like cliffs:
Markets are exhausted.
Hope is crushed.
And that’s finally when the real bottom shows up.
6.
The lesson?
Bear markets are full of traps.
Relief rallies can fool even seasoned pros.
Stay patient. Wait for trend confirmation. Don’t chase fake bottoms.
7.
📉 The biggest crashes usually happen at the end of the bear market.
That’s the final flush — and it sets the stage for true opportunity.
Learn from the past. Don’t get trapped. Stay sharp.
SPX500 Dips Ahead of NFP as Tariff Risks RiseSPX: S&P 500 Dips to Close July — Still Positive for the Month Amid Tariff Tensions & Fed Uncertainty
The S&P 500 retreated in the final session of July, weighed down by renewed tariff concerns and lingering uncertainty around the Fed’s next move. Despite the late pullback, the index remains positive for the month overall.
Looking ahead, non-farm payrolls (NFP) and U.S. jobs data are expected to have a strong impact on market direction. In addition, August 1st marks a key date for potential tariff developments, which could trigger further volatility.
Technical Outlook – SPX500
The index has dropped approximately 2.5% since yesterday and maintains a bearish bias as long as it trades below 6283. If the price continues to slide, the next downside target is 6246, with further support at 6223.
However, if the price manages to close above 6289 on the 1H timeframe, it could trigger a bullish recovery toward 6320 and 6341.
Pivot Line: 6283
Support Levels: 6246 • 6223
Resistance Levels: 6320 • 6341
S&P 500 ETF & Index– Technicals Hint at a Possible Correction📉📊 S&P 500 ETF & Index at Resistance – Technicals Hint at a Possible Correction 🔍⚠️
Everything here is pure technicals— but sometimes, the market whispers loud and clear if you know how to listen. 🧠📐
The VOO ETF, which tracks the S&P 500 , has now reached the upper boundary of a long-term ascending channel, once again brushing against resistance near 590.85. This zone has consistently led to major pullbacks in the past.
On the right panel, the US500 Index mirrors this move—pushing toward all-time highs, right as broader sentiment turns euphoric. Technically, both charts are overextended and pressing into key zones.
👀 Potential Path:
🔻 Rejection from current zone ➝ Down toward 526.17, then 465.72 (green support channel)
🔁 Possible bounce after correction — trend still intact long term
And while we’re keeping it technical, it’s worth noting that the Buffett Indicator (Stocks-to-GDP) i s currently screaming “overvaluation.” This doesn't predict timing—but it adds macro context to an already overheated chart setup.
The lesson? Price respects structure. Whether or not the fundamentals are in agreement, the charts are warning that now may not be the time to chase.
History doesn’t repeat, but it often rhymes. Stay sharp, stay technical. 🎯
One Love,
The FX PROFESSOR 💙
ps. the beauty of these levels? Tight Stop loss- excellent R/R

S&P Market Update – Signs of a Short-Term Correction?Although the S&P remains in an uptrend, recent price action suggests that momentum may be fading.
📉 Key Observations:
A Key Day Reversal occurred at 6409 – a potential warning signal.
We're seeing RSI divergence: price made a new high, but RSI didn’t follow suit.
The market is grinding higher, but without conviction.
📊 What to Watch:
The 15-day EMA, currently at 6317, is acting as near-term support. A close below this level could trigger a short-term correction.
Initial downside targets: 6147–6100, the previous highs from late 2024 and early 2025.
✅ To negate this bearish bias, the market would need to break above 6409 and continue higher with stronger momentum.
Stay alert — the technicals are flashing red flags. Always manage risk accordingly.

The $CURE For Your Healthcare PortfolioHey team,
Everyone knows how the health sector is beat up.
The Trump administration hasn't shown any mercy to the health and pharma sectors. They’ve been hammering Big Pharma with a mix of fiery rhetoric and aggressive policy moves. Trump has brought back his “most favored nation” drug pricing plan, tying Medicare reimbursements to what other countries pay, slashing profits for drugmakers who’ve been charging Americans a fortune.
As a result, some of the top health stocks such as NYSE:PFE , NYSE:LLY , NYSE:JNJ , and NYSE:UNH , among many others, have been suffering.
We need, however, to understand that healthcare is sometimes cyclical, and there are some clues that tell us what's likely to happen next:
For most years, AMEX:XLV (health index ETF) is highly correlated with the $SP:SPX. Historically, when this correlation breaks, it's either because healthcare is lagging behind the S&P 500, or because the S&P 500 is crashing, and healthcare is holding well because healthcare is recession-resistant. Typically, these moments of uncorrelation are followed by a very well-performing healthcare sector.
AMEX:XLV / SP:SPX is now at a 25-year low! Healthcare stocks have never been so low in 25 years compared to the benchmark.
While the S&P P/E ratio is at 28, healthcare is at 14. This shows a potentially underdeveloped sector.
The spread between healthcare and the rest of the stock market is very large and unnatural. Considering this, it's more likely that it will regress to its mean and recover. You can see this in the Dual Z-Score indicator in the chart.
Additionally, the US midterms are coming, which can bring policy changes that might favor healthcare again.
Now, you might be wondering: Why invest in AMEX:CURE and not in AMEX:XLV ?
I plan to allocate around 2% of my portfolio to CURE, the 3x leveraged ETF, because it's an easier way to achieve the proper Kelly allocation to this sector, a sector that I believe will recover over the next couple of years. The leverage provided by this ETF will help compound returns.
Is this strategy risky?
Well, CURE is 3x more volatile than XLV, but this is the way I see it: healthcare is already too beat up to continue declining sharply from here. Additionally, healthcare is recession-resistant, meaning that it should not be too affected if the US economy suffers, enters a recession, or if unemployment numbers increase.
I think CURE gives me a potentially good risk/reward ratio, considering that if healthcare catches up with the S&P 500, CURE could return approximately (and very roughly) 100%.
Quick note: I'm just sharing my journey - not financial advice! 😊

US500 Pulls Back from 6,400– Correction or Trend Shift?The index has rejected the 6,400 🔼 resistance zone with a strong bearish candle, pulling back toward the 6,200 🔽 support region. Price is still trading within a bullish structure, but this drop may signal early signs of exhaustion.

Resistance Levels: 6,300 🔼, 6,400 🔼
Bias:
🔼 Bullish: If price holds above 6,200 and reclaims 6,300, the uptrend remains intact and bulls may reattempt a push toward 6,400.
