SPY Elliott Wave + Parallel Channel AnalysisThis chart offers a detailed Elliott Wave count for SPY (S&P 500 ETF) on the daily timeframe, combined with a structured parallel channel system to highlight key trend dynamics.
🔍 Elliott Wave Structure:
The price is currently advancing in what appears to be Wave (5) of Primary Wave ⑤, suggesting we may be in the late stages of a major impulsive cycle.
Each impulsive and corrective wave is clearly labeled, with the internal structure confirming classic Elliott Wave symmetry.
The 1.618 Fibonacci extension around $689 marks a critical upside target and potential completion zone for Wave (5).
Wave (4) held well at the lower channel boundary and completed near $480, establishing a solid base for the current advance.
📊 Channel Insights:
A system of parallel channels is applied to capture the overall trend and momentum structure.
Price is climbing toward the upper boundary of the long-term ascending channel, which has acted as dynamic resistance in previous waves.
The median lines have provided reliable support and resistance throughout the trend, making them important reference levels moving forward.
⚠️ Key Technical Levels:
Resistance: $689.44 (Wave ⑤ target at 1.618 Fib extension)
Support Zones: $609 (prior Wave (3) high), $575 (mid-channel support), and $480 (major cycle low)
A confirmed break above $690 could suggest a parabolic move, but risk of reversal grows as the upper channel is tested.
📈 Market Outlook:
SPY remains in a strong uptrend but is nearing a major confluence of wave and channel resistance.
A completed five-wave sequence would suggest the potential for a higher-degree correction, possibly leading into a Wave A/B/C scenario.
Short-term bullish bias remains valid while above $609, but watch for divergence or exhaustion signs near $689–$700.

QQQ Forming Nice channelKey Observations:
Uptrend Channel:
QQQ has been trading within a rising channel.
The price respects both the support (lower red trendline) and resistance (upper red trendline) consistently.
Recent Price Action:
There was a sharp drop that briefly broke below the lower trendline support but quickly rebounded back inside the channel, indicating a false breakdown or buying strength at support.
A horizontal red line marks a previous resistance level, now potentially acting as a support.
Current Price:
The price is around $567.22, near the middle of the channel, but just below the recent local high/resistance.
Implication:
As long as the price stays within the channel, the uptrend remains intact.
A confirmed breakdown below the channel support would be bearish, while a breakout above the channel resistance would be bullish.
The Current State and Future Direction Of The S&P 5006/9/24
Created By Joeseph Emanuel Dennis
Idea:
Critical area and critical moment in not only the NASDAQ but for the entire bull market otherwise we'll start a prolonged retracement or an unlikely bear market turnaround. My SPY target remains 600 based on previous positive FOMC, CPI, Job Report Data, Rate Cuts, Elections, and Current Institutional development. On the technical side, the higher high movement began at the start of 2023 my initial target was 480 and I was correct! after the September weekly retracement on SPY, we have been pushing higher despite January's negative economic data and the conflict with IRAN. The daily is set to move currently above the 20MA with the weekly bullish and the monthly extremely bullish. IMPORTANT WEEK AHEAD! the future data will determine if the bullish trend will progress onward FOMC meeting will either scare people out of the market or drive the market into a rally along with central bank stocks. My bet is bullish even though inflation is record high thanks to the Biden administration we somehow keep pushing higher makes you wonder if the positive economic data is even accurate is employment being at a record high is that a good thing? Many Americans find them selfs more with two jobs or even three jobs is that a positive thing? Underemployment is also at record highs are these post-college graduates getting the salary they deserve or are they settling with two low-wage jobs? Nonetheless, the bull market will rain on with a summer rally. I will keep watching in case something turns around the enemy isn't Jerome Powell it's the liars at the white house and the propaganda creators over at MSNBC.
Note: This goes for Bitcoin as well! 80K here we go!
QQQ Technical Analysis: Bullish Trend Intact
From a technical perspective, the QQQ is in a powerful and well-defined uptrend. The price action since the April low has been contained within a sharp ascending channel, confirming strong and consistent buying pressure. The market is currently testing the upper boundary of this channel, which often acts as short-term resistance and can precede a minor pullback or consolidation phase.
A major bullish development was the recent breakout above the 535-540 price zone. This area had served as significant resistance from December through February, and its conversion into a new support floor is a textbook sign of strength. This level will now be a critical pivot point for the market.
Should a pullback occur, the chart lays out a clear hierarchy of support levels. The first line of defense is the intermediate support at 550. Below that lies the crucial 535-540 pivot zone, followed by another support area between 520 and 525. The most significant long-term support rests at the 500 level, which was a major resistance ceiling for much of the prior year.
The overall outlook remains bullish. As long as the price respects the ascending channel structure, particularly the lower trendline, the path of least resistance remains to the upside. Traders will likely view pullbacks toward these established support levels as potential opportunities to join the prevailing trend. A break below the channel and the 535 level would be the first signal of a potential momentum shift.

$GLD short term top in $260-148 target on the downsideAMEX:GLD looks a bit extended here. I could see the possibility of GLD falling back to the $260 support at a minimum and maximum all the way down to $148
The $209 support would be the 50% retracement of the recent run. I like that as a level for a bounce.
Let's see where we end up.

QQQ in a hot moment!Based on my analysis, the #QQQ got the reversal pattern candle, and we will have some consolidation starting this week until the end of September 2025.

Do your diligence and study more; technical analysis is just the probabilities overview.
XLU Long1. Market Structure Overview
A notable Change of Character (CHoCH) occurred at 84.09, breaking below a prior higher low and signaling a shift from bullish to bearish momentum. This was followed by a clear Break of Structure (BOS) at 83.40, confirming the bearish sentiment and initiating a new lower low sequence.
2. Supply and Demand Zones
Supply Zones (Resistance):
85.00–85.55: Strongest supply zone where multiple bearish rejections originated.
84.75–85.00: Closest overhead supply zone—price is expected to react if it reaches this area.
Demand Zones (Support):
84.00–84.20: Local demand that initiated the recent bullish push; possible short-term support.
83.10–83.40: Major demand zone that sparked the latest upward move; strong buyer interest observed.
3. Current Price Action & Expectation
Price is currently trading at 84.46, moving upward from the 84.00–84.20 demand zone. The near-term outlook suggests a continued push toward the 84.75–85.00 supply zone. If price can decisively break above 84.99, bullish momentum could extend toward 85.30–85.55.
However, if price rejects from 84.75–85.00, a pullback into 84.00–84.20 is expected before another attempt higher. A breakdown below 84.00 would open downside risk toward the stronger demand at 83.10–83.40.
4. Momentum & Risk Outlook
Momentum is gradually shifting bullish after forming a swing low near 83.40. Maintaining structure above that level is crucial for a bullish continuation. Watch for a clean break and retest of the CHoCH level at 84.99 to confirm strength.
$SPY rolling over, potentially to new lows?While I was early to the idea (like usual), still don't think the thesis will be wrong. I still believe we're going to see a large move down from here.
Yesterday's price action made me pretty confident a top was in (TBD). We had positive news and the market couldn't rally on that positive news and we ended up closing at the lows -- indicating to me there's no more buyers.
Today we have treasuries, the dollar and volatility all rallying while equities selloff, a classic risk off signal. You also have crypto selling off too.
I think we see a large risk off move from here on out, the target is the $440 area (extreme down to $400), but if we find support at one of the other levels above that, there's potential for us to rally from there.
Will have to see how price action plays out over the coming weeks.
SPY : back near the top of its upward channelSPY is back near the top of its upward channel, a strong resistance.
Every time this happened since 2011, markets dropped 10–27%.
Still trending up, but this setup doesn’t look great.
Since the April low, SPY is up 30%, short-term trend is stretched and vulnerable.

Direxion High Beta Bull S&P 500 3X | HIBL | Long at $30.86Contrarian view, despite tariffs. I don't think this rodeo is over - but I could always be wrong. Even if individual consumption drops (which I think it has for some time now), rising prices will continue to mask it. Many, but not all, companies will profit and until there is a "bigger" catalyst... bullish.
AMEX:HIBL is a personal buy at $30.86 (also noting the possibility of it going into the FWB:20S in the near-term)
