$SPY Market Outlook - Sluggish & Uncertain
AMEX:SPY is showing a sluggish pattern, resembling the 01/20–02/20 period, with "low" predictability —anything could happen! We might see NASDAQ:TLT weakness or, conversely, a wave of solid trade deals pushing prices higher. From a risk-reward perspective, it’s prudent to stay light or hedge. Technically, horizontal resistance is at $577.00, with support likely to test the upsloping trendline as of today at $538.00
SPY trade ideas
SPY 1d Chart, March 2025Sharing what I am expecting from AMEX:SPY over the next few weeks. After this selloff, I am expecting somewhat of a bounce, before we can re-assess around the 592-598 region.
I only expect this if we can avoid any additional crazy tariff news in the next few days. The area in red will be very telling.
THE ONLY BULLISH WAVE COUNT !!! 582 SPY support The chart posted is what I can say Is the ONLY bullish wave count . We should was the .382 support in SPY and this also makes wave 4 and 2 equal .We did Top into the spiral 6 in total due 11/29/12/5 Turn this was the TOP TICK in NYA DJI XLU IYT DJT . There is clear LONG TERM DAMAGE in the NYA and all the indexes listed . The FED is clear BEHIND and LIED today as to UNEMPLOYMENT as in 2025 DOGE will cause this to rise as per my forecast of 5.5 in 2025
SPY does a rising wedge suggest a reversal? SHORTSPY on a 30 minute chart shows a rising wedge over the past week. Price is now under a nearly
flat upper trendline of resistance while the support trendline is rising. The dual TF RSI
indicator shows strength about 70 while the zero lag MACD shows a K /D line cross.
Because of this I believe, SPY may retrace to 468 or the level of the Fib 0.5. Since SPY is a high
volume high liquidity slow spread instrument I see a buying a put option or s short swing trade
short on the shares as strong consideration for the next trading day if the breakdown is
confirmed.
"SPY Peaks: Signs Point to Market Reaching Pinnacle"SPY ETF Approaching Critical Resistance Amid Bearish Signals
The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) has been a focal point for investors seeking exposure to the broader equity market. However, recent indicators suggest a potential shift in sentiment as the ETF nears significant resistance levels, hinting at a looming bearish turn.
As of late, SPY has been on a notable uptrend, consistently climbing towards one-year high resistance levels. This trajectory has garnered attention from investors eyeing the possibility of continued gains. Yet, caution flags are waving as the ETF approaches the $500 to $520 range, projected to materialize by March or April of 2024.
Market analysts and technicians are closely monitoring this critical juncture, as historical data indicates a propensity for price rejection and subsequent correction around such resistance zones. While past performance is not indicative of future results, the confluence of technical factors underscores the significance of this price range.
One factor contributing to the bearish sentiment is the overextension of the current rally. With the market experiencing an extended period of growth, there is growing concern about unsustainable valuations and the potential for a market pullback. Additionally, macroeconomic uncertainties, including inflationary pressures and geopolitical tensions, further amplify the apprehension among investors.
Moreover, sentiment indicators such as the fear and greed index are signaling heightened investor optimism, often considered a contrarian indicator suggesting potential market reversals. As greed eclipses fear, complacency may set in, leaving the market vulnerable to downside risks.
Investor psychology plays a crucial role in market dynamics, particularly during pivotal moments such as approaching resistance levels. The psychological barrier of reaching a milestone price range can trigger profit-taking among investors, leading to selling pressure and downward price momentum.
Institutional investors, who often have the firepower to influence market movements, may also opt to rebalance their portfolios in anticipation of market headwinds. As such, increased selling activity from institutional players could exacerbate the downward pressure on SPY and the broader market indices.
While the outlook remains uncertain, prudent investors are advised to exercise caution and closely monitor developments in the coming weeks. Key technical levels and market indicators will offer valuable insights into the potential direction of SPY and the broader market.
In conclusion, as the SPY ETF approaches critical resistance levels amidst bearish signals, investors brace for a possible shift in market sentiment. With the $500 to $520 range looming ahead, caution is warranted as historical precedents and technical indicators point to the potential for a corrective phase. Vigilance and adaptability will be essential for navigating the evolving market landscape in the months ahead.
Retracement in market movementsI've noticed a rejection occurring at the 465.00 level, followed by a retest at 463.00, aligning with yesterday's closing price. This suggests that the day will conclude with the establishment of a trading range, potentially paving the way for selling opportunities leading into the weekend for (SPY).
Looking for Price to Revert Back to 50-day SMA MeanIt appears that AMEX:SPY has reached an excess high. Additionally, traders should also be aware that the 50-day SMA has fallen below the 100-day SMA (bearish signal). Furthermore, bull rallies that are made on declining volume generally provide a more quality trade setup to the downside. Lastly, traders should also notate that the 14-day stochastic indicator is also giving a strong overbought reading at 93.81.

Price retraces from the support of the uptrend line. It appears that sellers are losing momentum towards the support of the uptrend line. Additionally, there is a significant shrinkage in size in the last bearish candle in the trend compared to the previous candle. Additionally, price also recently found support at the $422.03 price level, and you also have additional support at the $412.26 price level. Therefore, the downside potential appears to be minimal.
Furthermore, the current pattern also forms an ascending bullish triangle. Looking for price to rebound from support and break through the neckline of the inverse head and shoulders pattern!
SPY - Are we at Support, or plummeting into recession?With everything going on in the global markets, it’s hard to stay positive about the current market analysis.
But I have to ask, are we really going to go lower, break support, and spiral into a recession?
Obviously I don’t know the answer to that question for sure, but let’s take a look at a few things.
Other than the obvious support levels that I drew on the chart, what is the good the bad , and the ugly with the current US market?
The Good: The jobs market still seems “relatively” strong.
The Bad: The Fed is once again Threatening Rate hikes.
The Ugly: Nobody really knows what’s going on.
What I think (for what it’s worth):
I’m leaning towards a bounce from here, I think we’re not seeing any financial indicators of impending doom at the moment, and I tend to think that the consensus is usually wrong. Any time I’m in the majority of “herd mentality” I have to question if I’ve joined the right team. Most people are screaming “RECESSSION” from the rooftops at the moment (or at least a lot of people are), so I kind of think that we’re still going to move back up from here.
I could be wrong, I’m more of a technical analysis guy than fundamental analysis, so take my word with a grain of salt, and also be careful out there. It’s still pretty crazy out there!
