Earnings Heat Up - 6300 and 6200 SPX Key Levels RemainMarket Update
SPX Key Levels
-SPX poked 6300 Tuesday, Thursday, and poked higher Friday (but settled back to 6300)
-6200 support remains a key level
-6050/6000/5800 next floor levels, I'll be looking for dips
I can see the market slowly (and I mean SLOWLY) grinding higher but preparing for a
reasonable seasonal selloff through end of July into end of September window
July 28-August 1 is a monster week in the markets
-Megacap Earnings (MAG7 Tue/Wed/Thu)
-Wed July 30 - FOMC (Pause expected but Powell's Press Conference is important)
-Friday August 1 - Non-Farm Payroll, Tariff Deadline
I'm hitting fresh YTD highs so I'm not complaining about this melt-up and grind, I'm simply wanting to allocate positions and add to my positions at better levels and with a slightly
higher VIX to help take advantage of the expected move being greater than the actual move
Have a great weekend and thank you watching!!!

SPY Reclaims Rising Wedge Support - Bear Trap or Breakout Setup?SPY dropped below its rising wedge earlier this week, but that move may have been a bear trap. Price quickly reversed, reclaiming the wedge trendline and closing just below a key Fibonacci level at 629.84.
Buyers stepped in aggressively near the 0.382 and 0.236 retracement zones, defending short-term support. The bounce came on increased volume, signaling strength behind the recovery. Momentum remains intact as long as SPY holds above 626.
Now, bulls need to confirm with a breakout above 629.84–631.96 to open the door to the next levels at 635.63 and 640.30. Failure to break through could lead to another rejection and revisit lower support zones.
Levels to watch:
Support: 626.64, 623.62, 619.60
Resistance: 629.84, 631.96, 635.63
SPY is at a decision point. Reclaiming wedge support is a bullish signal, but bulls need follow-through to avoid another fakeout in the opposite direction.
QQQ : Stay Heavy on Positions1) April Fear & Buy Signals
In early April, the Nasdaq 100 experienced a sharp sell-off, triggering extreme fear sentiment across the market.
At that point, scale-in buy signals appeared—classic "buy the fear" conditions.
2) Current Market State: No More Fear, but Watching
Since then, the market has stabilized.
The fear has disappeared, but we are still in a wait-and-see mode as traders assess the next move.
Momentum is holding, but participation remains cautious.
3) Stay Heavy on Positions
Despite short-term uncertainty, I’m maintaining an overweight position on the Nasdaq 100.
As long as we don’t see a major breakdown, the bias remains bullish.
SPY 628 – Compression Before Expansion | VolanX Protocol Engaged🧠 SPY 628 – Compression Before Expansion | VolanX Protocol Engaged
📅 July 17, 2025
🔍 SPY (S&P 500 ETF Trust) | 1D Chart
📍 Current Price: 628.04
📈 Chart Thesis by: WaverVanir International LLC
🔗 Powered by VolanX Protocol
🌐 Macro Overview:
The market stands at a critical inflection point, with bulls and bears both pressing their narrative:
The Fed is expected to cut rates in September, with soft CPI and decelerating labor trends justifying a pivot.
Earnings season is bifurcated: Mega-cap tech is leading, while cyclicals are faltering. This raises the risk of a short-term rally masking deeper fragility.
Global macro risks – including rising geopolitical stress in the Asia-Pacific region and commodity volatility – increase the odds of a tail event.
📊 Technical Outlook:
SPY is now hugging a major supply zone near 628 with price stalling for multiple sessions. This area marks a compressed equilibrium where volatility is likely to expand soon. Key technicals:
Rejection candles suggest seller presence near 630.
Price is overextended but remains above all major EMAs.
Breakdown zone sits at 565, which aligns with prior resistance and a major volume shelf.
No current bearish divergence on RSI or MACD, but momentum is flat.
🎯 VolanX Probabilistic Bias:
The system currently anticipates three paths:
Bullish breakout toward 660–675 if the Fed confirms a dovish stance and tech continues to lead.
Neutral grind in the 600–615 zone if macro remains balanced and earnings don’t surprise.
Bearish breakdown to 565 or lower if macro stress emerges or dollar strength accelerates.
🛠️ Options Strategy Highlights:
Bullish Trade Idea: Buy 630C / Sell 660C (30–45 DTE) – Low cost, targets breakout above resistance.
Bearish Trade Idea: Buy 620P / Sell 565P – High R/R play into macro unwind.
Both are defined-risk strategies, ideal in volatile inflection zones like this.
⚠️ VolanX Note:
This is a classic binary event structure forming under institutional watch. DSS scans show compression is now mature. Whichever side confirms will likely trigger a large move, not a drift.
Let the narrative confirm the signal.

Chart Pattern Analysis Of YINN
From K1 to K5,
It is a small scale consolidation or a bullish triangle pattern.
The supply pressure is decreasing too.
It seems that K6 or K7 will break up or fall down.
If the following candles close upon K3 or K4,
It is likely that another bull run will start here to test 77USD area.
On the other hand,
If the following candles close below the neck line,
The risk will sharply increase.

XRPT- Hope high can its go?So this ETF is Double Leveraged on the price movement from XRP(Crypto). For me this means that it doesn’t fit my normal trading /investment style of buy and hold.Had to go to Chat GPT to help me out with this play.
I used Fib Retrace to get an idea of pricing that the equity could potentially reach. These key areas are highlighted in green boxes.
Here its suggestion which makes sense to me.
Trading XRPT (the 2x leveraged XRP ETF from 21Shares) requires a slightly different approach than a regular spot ETF — due to its daily leverage reset, higher volatility, and decay risk over time.
Here’s how I suggest you trade it, JP:
⸻
🧭 1. Know What You’re Trading
• XRPT = 2x Daily Exposure to XRP
• Aims to return 2x the daily price movement of XRP, not over weeks or months.
• NOT for long-term holding
• Due to volatility drag and compounding effects, it can underperform XRP over time even if XRP trends upward.
• Great for short-term swing trades, momentum plays, or technical breakouts.
⸻
🧠 2. Use These Rules to Trade XRPT Effectively
✅ ENTRY STRATEGY
• Use 4H or Daily Wyckoff Analysis on XRP/USD (not XRPT) to gauge trend.
• Only trade XRPT when XRP is in:
• Phase C spring (reversal setup)
• Phase D markup (confirmed breakout)
• Watch ETH/BTC and BTC dominance as extra confirmation (alt season indicator).
Component
Strategy
Timeframe
1–10 days swing (max), or intraday momentum
Entry Trigger
Breakout from triangle / range on XRP chart, not XRPT
Stop Loss
7–12% under entry (wider than normal due to leverage)
Target Zones
+15% to +30% depending on structure
Position Size
Smaller than usual — start with ½ or ⅓ of normal size
Exit Trigger
RSI overbought on 4H/daily or reversal candle on XRP
🚨 RISK MANAGEMENT FOR XRPT
• Don’t hold during chop – consolidation kills leverage
• Don’t hold during corrections – 2x loss = faster drawdown
• Set hard stops — this isn’t one to “just watch”
• No overnight holds unless it’s a clear uptrend with volume
⸻
📌 3. Example Trade Setup (Fictional)
• XRP breaks out of an ascending triangle at $0.52
• You see strong RSI + Volume
• Target: $0.58–$0.62
• You enter XRPT around $10.00
• Stop loss around $9.10
• Sell at $11.50–$12.00 for 15–20% gain
GLD potential break downWe could be experiencing a break down on GLD based on capital outflows, going into riskier markets. If this larger time frame range break down holds, and we get continuation lower on downside momentum, we get a measured move target of May's low. Will be watching to see if the breakdown is a bear trap first. If it is not a bear trap, I will buy OTM Jan 26 puts. Targeting May's low
Is it too late to enter China market now ?www.cnbc.com With articles like this, suddenly all those who claims China market was "uninvestable"are sitting up and taking a closer look at this market again.
For those who have followed me, please refer to my past posts on HSI and FXI and various Chinese companies, most listed in HK but some in China as well.
The one sector that I remain bearish is the property market and I have no short to mid term plans to enter into it. There are however many interesting sectors , especially pharmaceutical, healthcare related stocks that I am interested to explore.
Buying into an ETF like FXI gives you a broader exposure to the blue chips companies that are financially stable and diversify into different sectors like automotive, IT, e-commerce, consumer staples, healthcare ,etc. Then, if you are still interested in China related stocks, you can dive into individual company and invest as well. Higher risk higher returns.
As usual, please DYODD
