At the level of interest - ES SPX AAPL USOIL et al....SPX is in the area where I think it may reverse although higher highs to end the day is certainly possible. It has been a hard slog for bears and according to what I'm seeing on the put/call charts, the bets are mostly bullish. This makes sense in terms of price action but under the hood there are some issues. There are technical reasons why I'm still bearish here, and basically that's what I talk about in the video. I know some will probably criticize this as being "too bearish" and that's fair. However, I don't think I'm imagining what I'm seeing here. The RSI has been very clear when the selloffs looked too weak and I have pointed that out when I saw it. The RSI in particular is now clearly flashing a longer term warning here, which I try to explain. Good luck and have a great weekend!

Moring Update: Are we in an ending diagonal?Last night I had a social event to attend. A lot of market talk with different opinions...some very dire, some very rosy. I'm thinking to myself the market sure has people guessing right now. I had some DM's asking about being in other patterns that suggest we're moving higher...no doubt because they've been exposed to other analysis. Me on the other hand, I don't follow anyone. I simply looks at the charts. This pattern looks like an ending diagonal, it fits with the rules of an ending diagonal, but as I have said 100 times prior...it's the way this pattern started that has me thinking we're something complex and it's giving many people fits. If this is not an ending as I outline above then price should be skyrocketing higher. The market has had a could opportunities to do so and has failed to push impulsively higher. Again, I do not want to get married to analysis if price proves me wrong, and I certainly do not want to loose hard earned profits...but price has a lot to prove. Above 4090 and I'm starting to think this is something else. But many elliottitions look at the longer duration charts. I happen to believe (as Elliott said) that each smaller time frame pattern is a fractal of the larger pattern. They're Self-Similar. Here's a 1 minute chart below. I don't label the smaller time fractals but the overlap makes it hard for me to think we're breaking out. This is how we've traded since December. The overlap even shows on the smallest of timeframes. Nonetheless, let's see if price can break above 4090 today to get me off this ending diagonal and get some clues as to what we're in. In the absence of that, I'm expecting in the next several days to week, for price to be heading back down into the 3800's. Best to all, Chris

#ES_F Thursday 1.26.23 Overview Review: Last night Globex opened and drove under 4030-25 trapping supply over which started our move overnight move. Yesterday we had signs that inventory is still low and someone is buying, Globex was used to drop the bid under Previous day low which helped get us under 94-89 and our T2 Low Support which made more people sell out into the buying under 3976-71. Once selling has stopped the inventory was short and our supply was back over 4030-25, today showed us that there is still size covering and wanting that supply. 4076-71 was look below and fail, once we got back over T2 Low and 3994-89 position was below us. Overview: Interested to see what we will do in Globex tonight, we still have supply that is coming out from above this 4042 area and now our buyers are under 4025 and under 4012-08. If we break under 4030-25 there might be a chance to visit 4012-08 or close to it, if we wont see a full test or break under it that will show strength going into RTH but it might be a tricky day as we might be trying to get as many sellers shaken out before making another run at bigger Supply area. as long as we are holding over 4000-4012 area there is a good chance to make another attempt higher to 4046-42 // 4061-56 which would be our T2 High and maybe get close to 4084-77. Ideally we don't go there tonight first but instead come down lower and consolidate. If we do get over 4061 at whatever point that is not the best area to add because that is an area of bigger supply and things can come to an end quick. Area to be careful at. If we do break under 4012-08 - 4000 those will be first red flags and break and hold under 95-89 would be a big warning might change things to the downside pretty quick. Levels to Watch: 3994-89 // 4012-08 // 4035-25 // 4046-42 // 4061-56 // 408477

Trade Alert: Sell -25 Feb 2023 EOM 4300 calls at $7Raised $8,679 in Premium for next months P&L. Here's what changed for me today. Yesterday I said if price breached 4055 I need to see it take out the red trend line. I've been seeing the beginnings of an ending diagonal for a while. The overlap in the beginning when I said these patterns are not going to put us in jeopardy of price getting away from us. Nonetheless price has rallied. I was counting this as a 1-2, i-ii this morning. Wave iii of 3 is the strongest portion of a move. THIS MARKET SHOULD BE MOVING HIGHER AGGRESSIVELY...It's not. It's now overlapping again where it should be testing 4080-4090 and maybe even tagging 4100. Another thing weighing on my mind is so many charts I track, crypto included, are coming into full patterns off their lows needing a retrace. Sorry to switch gears so fast, but this chart should be showing signs of impulsivity today...and it's not. Therefore, I have opened up an OTM money short call position mainly to hedge what I've been waiting for and that is a couple hundred point decline to open a short put position in size. If at anytime price breaks above the ENDING DIAGONAL TRENDLINES I'LL RE-EVALUATE by taking an outright long position. This is a risky trade. I am not advocating shorting the market unless price continues to overlap as outlined above. Ending Diagonals will retrace to their origins. Therefore if confirmed we should decline in purple to 3840-3875 area minimum...and that could just be the "a" wave (in Black). PS: This post will serve as my evening update as I have plans this evening. I'll answer DMs and Comments to this post. Best to all, Chris

Morning Update: Benefit of the Doubt to BLACKI've discussed in the past about technicians and elliotitions getting married to analysis. This is easy to do even for the most experienced analysts. Just the psychology of bottoming and topping turning points Elliott mused that at turning points, traders can't let go of their attachments to the previous trend and before they realize that trend ended, the new trend is well on it's way. Price has been stubborn to retrace any of it's hard fought gains since the October bottom. Therefore I have to give my black count the benefit of the doubt. In the black count we may move as high as 4080-4090 for i of 3. Purple & Green have little room if any to rally before we retrace hard...but what is actionable trading information is in either case we should expect a retrace of some proportion. Purple and Green counts require a C wave to complete these patterns. C wave can be swift so we look to the structure to determine what count we're in. Purple can complete anywhere in the gray target box...but below 3840 which would be a flat, I have to adopt Green as my primary. Green supposes we're headed to mid 3700 to high 3600's. Now that I have given you the parameters, and I've stated I am giving the black count the benefit of the doubt...we watch to see what unfolds over the course of the next week. If we get up into the 4080-4090 area I will reopen a Jan EOM 4125-4150 short call position. If we immediately retrace (as in purple/green), I plan to do nothing until I can ascertain a bottoming pattern. I do not believe that will occur in the next couple days. Best to all, Chris

Morning Update: YOU ARE HEREAs we trade the day to day...the micro machinations of the SPX and ES Futures, I want to put into context where we are within the overall bigger picture. Having completed our Super Cycle wave (III) and begun to retrace in our SC wave (IV) ...you can barely even see the current decline from the high of January 2022. Within this Super Cycle wave (IV), we are simply working on completing our b of larger a to come sometime latter 2023-2024. That's right, we haven't even completed a cycle A wave yet. The purple box shows our alternation with Super Cycle Wave (II) which was very deep and quick. That purple box would represent the current magnitude of the SC wave (II) juxtaposed over current prices. Our wave (IV) will alternate and be long ( 2 Decades to complete ) and shallow ( completing at the 2.382% to as low as the 2.0% Fib Support Area ). Many of you will disagree with this chart. I understand the skepticism. However, cycles being what they are, this chart stands a high probability of becoming a reality... whether we like it or not . SO, as we carve out our profits day to day....remember in the grand scheme of things.... .... WHERE YOU ARE ON THE LONG TERM CHART! Best to all, Chris

Evening Update: Today I'm grateful I have Trading RulesThis morning as we were headed towards the lows I decided to close all my short call positions and go flat. Am I bullish? No Am I bearish? No. The uncertainty, with so many counts on the chart, some of which we were coming into the target box, caused me to go flat. I share this with you because as you analyze markets, I want you to trust your intuition. Most of all, when you can look as a chart and say, I'm unclear on the direction....get flat. I'm still flat as of writing this update. I mentioned in an update earlier that when price breaches 4055, we're going to 4300. I want to add 1 small caveat. The big red trendline. I want to see price breach 4055 and the red line. Let me explain, when I get into the 3 min fractals this looks like an ABC a-wave off the lows of today. I know it looks impulsive but with the price action I have now it looks like a 5, 3, 5 right into the 1.0. Therefore I'm still torn between purple and black. #PRICEPROVEIT Best to all, Chris

#ES_F Wednesday 01.25.23 Overview Review: Didn't have enough gas today to get to our supply area, Globex spent most of the night between 4042-430 building up supply, break of that trapped supply from yesterday and overnight above it, that was our first red flag to be cautious today as if we were to continue strong we would have held that area in Globex. Area mentioned for possible support was 4012-08 which we could see pre market that we were holding above, when opened we did failure to break the first sign that level is holding then look below and come back in was the main trade for the day which got us back to overnight supply where we found more sellers and went sideways again over VWAP selling over 4030. Great day, support provided great trades, second half of the day was the hardest today. Overview: We had an interesting open today, we closed RTH with a stop run over 4046-42 and over 5 hours of selling over Vwap. Opened and drove under that consolidation area trapping the longs making it our supply area going forward. This can be a good chance to see if we have enough supply to break todays low and get more people to sell some, under Previous Low we have our next Potential Support at 3995-89 with has T2 low and position below it, if we have enough selling we can see that area tested but overall we are inside T2 range, judging from todays action we still have shorts trying to cover so I wont be surprised if we still do a test of Monday high and area above it. We have to see what Globex does, for the upside to happen we will have to look strong below 4012-08 and 3094 if we get under them and get back over 4030-25 for final confirmation. If we get below 3994-89 and hold under it that changes things, until then we can still get good amount of short covering and a run into a supply zone, longer we hold over this area and over the trendline more customers we can have. Levels to Watch: 3995-89 // 4012-08 // 4030-25 // 4046-42 // 4061-56 Not looking to hold too much above last night unless showing good strength because its bigger supply area. If selling is strong but not strong enough to get under T2 Low and not enough buying to get over and hold 4030 Then potential for inside day between 4030-4000

SPX Model Trading Plans for WED. 01/25Roller Coaster Ride - Day 2 Our trading plans published yesterday, Tue. 01/24, stated: "With yesterday's daily close above 3985, our models have flipped to a bullish bias and will remain bullish while the index is above 4000. Nevertheless, models indicate a rather choppy market while the index is below 4015". As hypothesized, the market rolled over overnight and is now on the downward move. Our positional models have negated the bullish bias overnight and are currently in a neutral bias. Positional Trading Models: Our positional trading models indicate going short on the close if the daily close is below 3975 and above 3960, with a 35 point trailing stop. By definition, positional trading models may carry the positions overnight and over multiple days, and hence assume trading an instrument that trades beyond the regular session, with the trailing stops - if any - being active in the overnight session. Intraday/Aggressive Models: Our aggressive, intraday models indicate the trading plans below for today. Trading Plans for WED. 01/25: Aggressive Intraday Models: For today, our aggressive intraday models indicate going long on a break above 4002, 3988, 3973, 3958, or 3937 with a 9-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 3984, 3968, 3955, or 3931 with a 9-point trailing stop.  Models indicate long exits on a cross below 3995, and no explicit short exits for today. Models also indicate a break-even hard stop once a trade gets into a 4-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 10:46 am ET or later. By definition the intraday models do not hold any positions overnight - the models exit any open position at the close of the last bar (3:59pm bar or 4:00pm bar, depending on your platform's bar timing convention). To avoid getting whipsawed, use at least a 5-minute closing or a higher time frame (a 1-minute if you know what you are doing) - depending on your risk tolerance and trading style - to determine the signals.

Trade Alert: I prefer to be flatIn an abundance of caution and since I have a bottoming count in the black wave 2, I've decided to take my profits off the table. Therefore I have closed my Jan EOM 4100 Calls in which I kept over 80% of the original premium raised and my newly opened 4180 Feb EOM calls in which I kept 35% of the original premium raise for a total amount of $15,231 in premium income for January. I want to be clear....this is not to say I'm bullish. This is a risk management decision for me. Best to all, Chris

Morning Update: Black wave 2 3950-3960We're retracing off of yesterday's close. Since all of my counts require a retrace it will interesting to see which ones are invalidated. I stated a couple weeks back that the bottom we strike here within the this pattern weather it's a wave 2 of c or b-wave, is a bottom to buy for a nice rally to 4300-4500. From time to time I do this so I thought it may be a time to check under the hood of the SPX. I do not track stocks so I have no long-term EW counts in place....so the below charts are very rudimentary. Looking at Microsoft, I could debate Microsoft the stock has a 5-wave move up off the low, and a 3-wave move down for a wave 2. This is what you want to see in a bottom. However, price last night hit the .764 retracement post earnings, and but until breach the wave 1 high of approximately $263 we simple have no conclusive clue that the bottom in November of $213 is the bottom. Additionally, breaching the 263 high is just a first clue. So, MSFT has a lot of work to do. I would say the jury is out on MSFT striking a bottom. Looking at Amazon, Unlike MSFT, Amazon has positive divergence into its last low, but the stock has not completed 5-up off the bottom. Unlike MSFT that has a full 1-2 in place. Maybe AMZN will pop after its earnings, but it still doesn’t explain why it’s so far behind in the pattern visive MSFT. MSFT and AMZN are the largest components of the SPX, but these 2 stocks do not do the entirety of the SPX justice. Nonetheless, in looking at the largest 8% of the SPX components...if I was to sum up the SPX/ES charts...it’s only slightly negative. Yes, there are some constructive aspects of the above patterns...but nothing conclusive. Does it signal a constructive rally of some magnitude...You’ll get no argue from me on that conclusion. If we retrace into the 3950-3960 area today, it's important to note that the next time price breach 4055...we're headed to 4300. Best to all, Chris

Evening Update: Markets Stay within a Range TodayNot much to say this evening as we got no clues today. The markets stayed in a range, with no breakouts or breakdowns. The more consolidating we do, the odds start to skew towards the black count unless we get going to the downside soon. Black and purple suggest any declines will be contained above 3900. The green count, which is what the cash market is signaling, supposes we're about to decline into the 3700's. First and foremost we need to breach today's low of 4005. Best to all, Chris

#ES_F Overview for 1.24.23 Review: Short covering continued today, during Globex we held above 3976-71 Support, consolidated under VWAP before then open and once we took the open out off we went, we flushed most of the supply out of this area last Wednesday so this move over 4030 was much easier without much consolidation needed on the way up. We saw our first decent correction and need to consolidate to go higher at 4046-42 which was first resistance target. We were able to take it out and hit next level at 4061-56 where we found more supply which gave a nice correction to VWAP, the higher it gets the more supply there will be so have to be careful at these areas as we might have found our range for distribution. Overview: We have possibly found our distribution range between 4077-4030, have to see how we hold Globex but there is a good possibility to see a test of today's high at some point, will it hold or not is for us to find out. Ideally we hold 4030-25 support but very likely we could see some sort of flush under it before, as long as we hold over 4012-08 the upside has a chance of playing out. If we take a dip under 4030-25 and can consolidate under without breaking it will be a good information, unless we make some move over it tonight. Levels to Watch: 4012-08 // 4030-25 // 4046-42 // 4061-56 // 84-77

Morning Update: You’ve Got My Attention If you’ve traded the ES and the indices as a whole for any length of time you’ve heard the phrases “ The Markets is Climbing a Wall of Worry ”, or “ The Most Hated Rally ”. This signifies traders are not positioned to take advantage of a rally. Clearly sentiment was more negative than the market had intentions. I have been on the side of expecting lower prices. I’m a huge fan of the rally but only after prices retreated into the 3800’s first . However, I do not want to be a hater of a rally that leaves me behind, or worst, catches me short. Therefore, I wanted to provide my playbook as to not be caught off guard. All of my counts require some downside retrace of small to large magnitude. If price decides to trade above yesterday’s high...I may close all short calls. My January calls are almost worthless, but the position I opened yesterday will cause me concern because that doesn’t expire till end of February. In the cash market, this looks much cleaner. I would expect price to get a deep retrace or reconcile as an ABC zig zag down in the 3700’s. The ES always runs the risk of containing noise due to the lower liquidity of the overnights. Sometimes it will give you signals as to how the cash market will react, sometimes it confuses. I’m undecided as to whether it’s confusing noise, or it’s signaling to me the market intends to go higher and not retrace like my analysis shows. If ES trades above yesterday’s high. I may close out all short call positions. We have already extended to the 3.618% Fib Area...and I’m not going to give upside price advances much room before I pull the plug on shorting. Keep in mind, these are not outright short positions in the ES. If you’re outright short the ES right now, you’re giving yourself NO ROOM FOR ERROR. Therefore, have stops in place. I’ll be frank...if the market continues to move higher from here...I’ll hate the rally. Yes, I’ll be one of those traders. But will I allow it to cause losses....NOT ON YOUR LIFE. Suffice to say, the bulls have my attention now. Best to all, Chris

#ES_F Overview for Monday 1.23.23 Review: Last week Thursday we got back to our possible support area under 3930 and we could see the short covering stabilize the price before RTH at 3915-10 area which was important going forward, during RTH we failed to continue lower and only did a look below Globex low and came back in without reaching next level and taking out the low from 1.10 signaling that sellers are running out. Friday Globex we consolidated more getting all the supply secured, RTH open gave us a flush under VWAP to get the last sellers out and once we got over 30 again shorts were trapped and we began mark up back to our Supply area which is over 3990. Overview: That flush Wednesday took out a lot sellers from this area so now we might be able to get through it easier and head for our next Resistance area. As we know the goal is to sell product higher to willing buyers and we need to create some demand, ideally we can hold over this 76-71 area or at least over 60 as we now have support below those areas and see a move higher to take out last weeks high which will bring in more demand to the store. I will be looking to see if we get any pull back tonight towards 76-71 area and if it holds or not, the way we high closed Friday we might not get much of a pull back and instead take out 94-89 area first and head for 4000 pocket, if that happens then any pull back to and under 94-89 could be a good opportunity to buy and eventually if we hold over this area and get through that 4000 pocket we can see a push higher into next resistance area to 4046-61 maybe little over it depending how much buying we get. Levels to Watch: 3976-71 // 3995-89 // 4012-08 // 4030-25 // 4046-42 // 4061-56 For better confirmation we can wait until 4012-08 gets taken/hold either in Globex or RTH tomorrow, if in Globex then we might see a re-test in RTH but either way if we get over this area we could see our move to 4030-25 // 4046-42 and if that is that 61-56. Trading it level to level is a safer bet since we would be in supply area and never know what can happen but ideally everything holds up nicely and we get the full move. IF we don't hold 76-71 first red flag, breaking under 60 big red flag and will need to wait because if that happens then trip lower could happen but being up here I would think that they will try to run the highs to bring in more buyers to sell product into.

Evening Update: Things got complicated todayIf I had a $100 dollars every time I mentioned here on trading view that I spend 90% of my time analyzing and 10% of my trading I'd have a nice chuck of change. But markets are NOT linear, and that's why when I trade, I try to give myself the best opportunity for a profit. Let's discuss the (ES) chart first, then I want to juxtapose my analysis on the cash market (SPX). See Below Micro chart of the (ES). With price breaching the 4017 level, this rally off 3901.75 appearing impulsive in nature has surpassed the 2.618% Fib Level (Blue arrow and Circle). The 2.618% is usually good to halt most impulsive structures, even the ones that extend. However we blew right through that and even went over the previous local high of 4035. That presents us with several scenarios now. I must confess I'm split equally on each potential and therefore I do not have a primary pathway as of my writing this update. Black Count The black count supposes we bottomed in minor (b of larger "b") at 3901.75 last week. Under the black count we are now starting to carve out our initial subdivisions of our c-wave higher into the 4300-4530 area. To confirm black is the highest probability outcome and my primary pathway, price has to retrace in a wave 2 of c and should hold 3976-3934. Upon retracing to this area, I need to see an explosive rally that first breaches 4180 and ultimately goes to 4300-4530 area. Purple Count For the purple count to be a b-wave flat we need to see retrace but must hold 3841, (ideally 3912-3841) worst case scenario. Anything below 3841 and the newly added green count becomes the most viable option. Corrective Flats are not rare, but they are a pattern you don't certainly see that often. If price holds those regions, I would expect to see in the same manner as Black to the same area of the 4300-4530 region. Green Count The green count supposes our B wave has not concluded at all. I have stated for weeks that the overlapping manner of this pattern off the 4180 spike and reversal on December 13th was not a pattern in jeopardy of blasting off to the upside or the start of a new bullish trend. I still believe that. From a trader sentiment standpoint there's just too much indecision within that pattern to be a new bull run. Therefore Green is confirmed if price gets below 3841 (where both black and purple become invalidated or low probability). The green count reconciles low 3700 area for a standard "abc zig zag pattern". The SPX still looks like an ABC down to much further levels. That is why I believe the market is very confused as to what it wants to do (when I compare the ES to the Cash Market). I would assume in the days to come it's intentions will be known. Today I shorted -10 Feb EOM 4180 calls at $23 for $11,471 in Premium. Those calls went as high as $32 which gave me a 39.13% trade drawdown. This is not the area I feel like most my trades go. Short OTM calls at the 2.618% fib extension level is a "top tick" 9.9 out of 10 times. I'm still in this trade and will hold on for a retrace in either of the counts above and re-evaluate my position then. If anyone has any questions or comments please leave them below and I'll answer them all. Best to all, Chris

Morning Update: Price in Target Box for Black "b"As I posted in my weekend update that price should spend early this week catching a bid and I expect pressure as the week progresses. There is the offshoot chance that this low of last week at 3901.75 was our larger b-wave bottom as outlined in purple on the above chart so be aware of this possibility. Purple is always my alternative count. In the primary Black count I am expecting price to eventually give way to lower prices into the mid 3800's. This current surge in prices that started on Friday has Fibonacci resistance up at 4017. That's not to say price will get there in the black count...but don't be surprised if it does. In the purple count, if price were to breach 4035, it certainly bolsters continuation upon a consolidation/retracement. As of right now I am in no rush to short this market...I am still in favor of observing the price action as I evaluate my trade strategy this week. Best to all, Chris

Weekend Update: Slightly Higher Early Next Week, then Down?With price on Friday breaching 3969 which was the point where the purple count would become my primary over the Black count. The above chart features the old purple count as primary now. As you may remember under the purple count chances are much lower that price will make it down to the sub 3788 level. We needed to see an impulsive 5-wave pattern that could reach those levels given how we started and this doesn't appear to be the case. There's a purple "b" on the above chart. Although an alternative, our b could have bottomed. We have a 3-wave move down but only above 4035 does this become reasonable. I believe we will edge up early next week towards 3992 to as high as 4018 and start lower. This move lower should take us to the mid 3800 area. If price follows that path this is an area I hope to go long in size. Best to all, Chris

ES week of 1/23Long on pullbacks/failed breakdowns to support levels as long as above 3923. 3900-3923 is kinda messy chop, below that long way down. Thinking gap to 3997.5 area Monday and pullback to 3972 then rally. Pullback to 3945-3960 area also possible. Will be looking to fade the open if we get a gap to/slightly below that 3997.5 area to 3985, 3972, 3960, 3951, 3945. Will be watching for failed breakdowns/successful backtests of these levels to long. Ultimately BTD above 3923, STR below 3900. 4021 PT on longs but I will not be swinging anything, day trades only.

Long S&P500S&P500 tapped its major uptrend supports last week and is holding above them. Great time to go long. It's quite unlikely to go much lower. Targets are around 4500 if/when the first major downtrend breaks (likely given the amount of short positions needing to cover). After that there is one last significant resistance above the last all time high around 4800. If that breaks, the S&P500 is poised for another mid 1990's or mid 1950's bull market that will eventually lead to the type of bear market everyone is predicting now (I wouldn't start looking for a 50% crash until around 2030). EUR/USD hit major support and is likely headed much higher. This means the dollar index is likely done rising. With the dollar falling, assets are likely to become less correlated and stocks can get back on their uptrend. Good luck out there!
