SpySo.... I'm looking for a rebound this week early on from Smallcaps, banks, and cyclical. All last week everything non tech sold off.. it all started with TVC:NYA hitting this monthly trendline
As you can see, this has been resistance for about 5yrs and every time it has tagged , a correction has followed. To make matters worse , July monthly candle finished with a gravestone doji reversal. Monthly grave stone reversal means that the trend has likely flipped and for the next few months at least until Oct things will flip bearish for all things non tech.
but right now for this week, I think all things non tech gets a big bounce at least early on
Why do I say a bounce is coming? Well the hourly technicals for things non tech went way oversold. On top of that look at the daily BBand on NYA and AMEX:IWM
With standing World war 3 or Powell firing you will get smoked if you short this. This is why my favorite longs early this week are Smallcaps and banks.
Focusing on big tech..
If you didn't know that this market runs on a tech bubble then last weeks divergence was your wake up call.
Neither, Dow,IWM or NYA made a new high but the QQQ and spy did.
With that being said you will only know if the spy has topped by keeping track of the NASDAQ..
Qqq
Over the next 2weeks I think Qqq will retest that breakout of 538-540 which is around the 50ma
This drop will bring spy down to 610 retest.
But first I think there is extremely high chance Qqq retest it's 20sma to the upside at 560 to the upside before heading down
I prefer the short up there at 560 but be aware that price could trade between 550-560 to form a H&S
In a move of extreme fawkery we could get a double top instead
But that will only come off Qqq breaks back over 565
Overall, I don't really like big tech long this week. You may have some making moves but it will be a spotty picture with some green and most red or choppy.
The break below the 20sma on Qqq and all tech indexes
AMEX:XLK
NASDAQ:SMH
AMEX:XLC
Means the trend has changed to bearish.. as a trader one of the rules that has helped me is
Swing the trend and scalp the counter trend..
If the market is bullish then you swing calls and scalp puts.
If the market is bearish , you swing puts and scalps calls.
As far as swinging puts this week, just keep your eye on the 20ma of your favorite index/Stock. Once price retest the 20ma , that is the best entry for the short IMO.
The weekly bearish engulfing means that's by WED-Thurs you should stop trading calls and look for market to roll over for more downside.
Spy
Hourly
As long as the market opens above 617, you want to scalp the long early in the week with your target of 626-628.
I don't know if they will close this gap or not, it will most likely depend on Qqq breaking above 560.
Below 617 and 610 comes.
If price pushes above 629 , I wouldn't chase calls here. That double bearish engulfing on daily Time frame is no joke, and price will likely no break above 640.
Trade idea of the week is
AMEX:IWM
200sma is at 216.50
Over 217.00 and I like calls to close gap at 219.40.
Price could push up to 20sma at 222 but from there I like the short back down targeting 210

SPY – Bullish Recovery Faces Key Resistance. Aug. 5SPY – Bullish Recovery Faces Key Resistance 🚀
1H Technical Analysis & GEX Overview
SPY has staged a notable recovery from the recent pullback, breaking out of the descending channel and now pressing toward a key resistance cluster near 631–633. This zone aligns with the Highest Positive NETGEX and a 2nd Call Wall, making it a pivotal area to watch for continuation or rejection.
* Support Levels:
* 621–622 → Key structure support and HVL zone (08/04). Losing this could reopen downside toward 615 and 610.
* 615 / 610 → Next downside targets aligned with 2nd & 3rd Put Walls.
* Resistance Levels:
* 631–633 → GEX resistance & 2nd Call Wall; breakout here could fuel a run toward 640+.
GEX Insights
* Positive GEX builds above 628, signaling potential dealer hedging that could limit extreme upside but support gradual climbs.
* Negative GEX dominates under 621, suggesting increased downside momentum risk if price breaks support.
* Put positioning remains elevated at 81.3%, hinting at cautious sentiment but also squeeze potential if shorts get trapped.
Trade Scenarios
* Bullish Case:
* Break and close above 633 opens path to 640+.
* Options: Consider short-term Call spreads targeting 640 if breakout confirmed with strong volume.
* Bearish Case:
* Rejection from 631–633 and break below 621 could send SPY toward 615/610.
* Options: Put spreads targeting 615 with tight risk management.
15-Minute View (Intraday)
* Momentum is holding strong above VWAP, but intraday resistance at 631 is visible.
* A clear BOS above 631 with volume could trigger fast upside continuation intraday.
* Best scalp entries: pullbacks to 628–629 if defended as support.
Outlook
Bias leans cautiously bullish into the 631–633 test. Watch for confirmation on volume before chasing upside. If rejection occurs, expect choppy pullback toward 625–622 for a potential bounce.

Options Trading for SPY - Bear Spread Oct 17I'm setting up a Bear Put Spread on AMEX:SPY with the following legs:
Buy 630 Put
Sell 620 Put
Expiration: October 18, 2025
Thesis: I'm expecting a bearish move or neutral-to-bearish consolidation over the coming weeks, likely driven by macroeconomic pressure and technical weakness around the 630 level.
Current Price: ~$629.50
Risk/Reward: Defined risk strategy with a maximum loss equal to the net debit paid.
Breakeven Point: $630 – net debit
Max Profit: If SPY closes below $620 at expiration
Max Loss: If SPY closes above $630 at expiration
Technical indicators include:
Price rejection around VWAP
Decreasing OBV during consolidation
RSI divergence suggesting weakening momentum
Watching for further confirmation on breakdown from current levels. Will monitor volume and macro news.
$UVXY Signaling Trouble — $SPY Could Drop 10%+ In this video, I discuss why August/September could bring serious downside for the market, despite my long-term bullish stance.
Right now, SPY is trading around $632, but I have a downside target of $573 in the short term. If we get volume beneath $573 — especially a break below the daily EMA — SPY could drop quickly, with a potential fall all the way to $480 in the coming weeks/months.
At the same time, UVXY is signaling a correction for the overall market after rallying from the low's of April. I have a target of $30 and when UVXY starts to move, it often reflects sharp market corrections — and the setup is beginning to mirror that now.
Despite this short-term bearish outlook, I want to make it clear: I am very bullish long term. Any 10–20% correction will be a major buying opportunity for me. I'm watching key levels closely and preparing to take advantage when the market overreacts.
$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 Massive Long! BUY!

WISH YOU ALL LUCK
Next Leg down startingThe S&P 500 has been trading inside this rising channel for the last 3 and a half years. As you can see it has bounced off the bottom of the rising channel 4 different times and it is now back at the top of the channel. Price action gapped above the channel overnight but immediately sold off pre-market back inside the channel and completely reversed the move despite strong earnings from MSFT and META. This is very bearish and signals a move back down to the bottom of the channel once again and given that its already bounced off the bottom of the channel 4 different times, a 5th hit would have a high probability of breaking below the channel, which I would give a greater than 70% probability of playing out. If this happens, we will see much lower prices in this coming bear market.

SPY Stuck Below Downtrend Resistance. TA for Aug. 6SPY Stuck Below Downtrend Resistance – Sellers Still Pressing
Market Structure (1H View)
* SPY continues to trade inside a descending channel, with repeated failures near the upper trendline around $641–$644.
* Recent price action shows a lower high rejection followed by consolidation under resistance, signaling a cautious market tone.
* The macro downtrend remains intact unless bulls can break and hold above the descending trendline.
Key Price Levels
* Immediate Resistance: $631 (local reaction high)
* Major Resistance: $641–$644 (trendline + prior supply zone)
* Support Zone: $619–$620 (key demand zone)
* Deeper Support: $603–$605 (previous low and psychological support)
Indicators
* MACD: Recently flipped bearish with red momentum bars increasing — suggests momentum is shifting back toward sellers.
* Stoch RSI: Oversold bounce attempt possible, but currently still near the lower range.
* Trendlines: Price remains capped under the descending resistance line.
Current Bias
SPY is struggling to sustain bullish momentum after the recent push into resistance. Sellers are defending the upper channel, keeping pressure on the downside toward $620.
Scenarios to Watch
🟢 Bullish Case:
* Break & close above $631 with follow-through volume → retest $641–$644.
* Needs strong buying interest to flip the macro trend bias.
🔴 Bearish Case:
* Failure to reclaim $631 + sustained weakness could send price back toward $620 support.
* If $620 breaks, risk increases for a sharper drop toward $603–$605.
Trade Ideas (Not Financial Advice)
* Short Bias: Look for rejection near $631 or the trendline; target $620, then $605 if breakdown accelerates.
* Long Setup: Only if price reclaims $631 convincingly and breaks the $641–$644 resistance zone.
📌 Final Thoughts
SPY remains bearish-biased inside a descending channel. Bulls need a decisive breakout above $641 to change sentiment; otherwise, sellers will continue targeting $620 and potentially lower.
SPY: I think dollar milkshake is brewing, buying for long term📉 SPY Daily Breakdown – Aug 1, 2025 | VolanX Observations
🧠 Bot failed today, but the market taught more than any trade could have. Sitting out gave me the clarity to reassess structure and edge.
🔍 Market Structure Update:
Gap Down from Premium Zone: Today’s price action rejected the weak high and created a clean daily gap — signaling potential distribution at the top.
ORB (15-min) marked and ready: Likely to be retested on Monday. If price rallies into this zone and rejects, that’s where I’ll look for short entries.
Friday Bearish Close Rule: Statistically, when Friday closes red with strong momentum, Monday tends to follow — especially after a gap-down open.
🧭 Big Picture Outlook:
Liquidity Zones Below:
600 → First institutional reaction zone.
580 → Deeper demand and equilibrium area from previous consolidation.
Dollar Milkshake Brewing: Strong USD thesis could pressure equities short-term. This aligns with potential flow into defensives and out of high beta.
Long-Term Bias: Watching for deep discounts. If price moves into high-value demand zones, I’ll accumulate for the long haul — buying fear when it's priced in.
📌 What I’m Watching Next Week:
Monday open – will we see Gap & Go or a Gap Fill + Fade?
Reaction to ORB zone.
Volatility behavior and volume footprint in the first 90 minutes.
🔻 No trades today due to a bot error, but ironically, that gave me better vision. Sometimes, the best trades are the ones you don’t take.
