VTI is in for some time painI'm not short, but I'm not long either...
The methods used
Swing highs and lows: past turning points where price reversed, such as the Sep 16 low ($368.93) and the five stalls at $382–385.
Moving averages: the 20-, 50-, 100- and 200-day averages and the 40-week average. On VTI, the 40-week average has stopped pullbacks 42 out of 47 times since 2001.
Average price paid: the volume-weighted average price from key dates, like the August high and the March low. It shows whether recent buyers are si

SCHD short term downsideLooking for a little pull back so this fund can continue to move higher with some speed.
Upside (green):
Dashed green line, the base case: a dip to about $34 in early November, then a climb through T1 into T2 by mid-to-late December.
T1 box: $35.50–36.10 (+1–3%)
T2 box: $36.55–37.15 (+4–6%)
T3 box: $37.45–37.65 (+6.5–7%)
Green line at $35.45: the breakout trigger. A daily close above it would likely skip the dip and head straight toward T1.
Downside (orange and red):
Pullback 1: $34.00–34.4
ZEB Possible Trend Reversal EntryZEB has reclaimed the 1-hour 200 MA following a false breakdown below the established trading range.
Price is now above the 200 MA, with the 20 MA crossed above the 50 MA. The pullback has produced a bullish CCI recross, triggering my entry on the hourly set up.
The setup aligns with my trend-following rules. No prediction, no discretion, just execution.
Trade the trend. Follow the system. Let the R do the work.
SPY: A Curve Bottom SupportThe State SPDR S&P 500 EFT Trust (SPY) is trading around $763-$764, moving slightly down or stabilizing after a risk off session driven by rising crude oil prices and tech stock weakness. Markets remain sensitive to oil prices breaching higher levels amid Middle East supply risks, mixed corporate earnings and ongoing adjustments in hedge fund leverage.
Technical Insight:
SPY is on a consolidation motion. The ETF continues hovering around the support and resistance area for a couple of weeks now
QQQ 714 oversold can go 748 NASDAQ:QQQ QQQ is a swing trade daily upside. Target max 748$ then be patient. Can go either way.. Week + last gap daily chart sits at 748$ so longing there super risky. If get above 763$ it could move higher, but a simple retest 748$ to me wouldn't make it bullish untill hold's 750$ for 5+day's.
WGMI Update (26/10/2026) - When in doubt, ZOOM OUT!On the higher timeframe, the support area has not broken and we get a bullish megaphone which is truly reflective of the situation we are in (Peak uncertainty, BUT WE KNOW this is the AI bubble and this will RIP) If i doesn't, we are ripped by mortgage rates and being a wagey anyway.

Cross first, then the signal: MU & NVDAOvernight every name recovered and faded from the high into the open. The overnight rally was not the trade — the trade was the retest: hold the overnight low, or reclaim the overnight high. Today the sequence ran in the other order from the usual script: the 5m golden cross completed first, then the TREND signal printed into the already-confirmed cross, then the spike.
MU printed the TREND diamond at 09:31 at ~890, with a 1m bull divergence just before it. The spike ran to ~908 — the morning b
SOXL 87$ AMEX:SOXL Saw it drop when was 150's+ saw TSM top + NVDA and SOXL was at 168$... And was bullish 120-110$ where I saw it go next, now at 87$ didn'T expect it to drop that much. Now getting wayy to oversold, short term bounce up to 135$ would be expected after that could selloff more... all depend if make higher low or higher high on the daily chart...
How the 5-minute cool-off cycle actually worksA 0DTE session is not one continuous trend. Read as a series of cool-off cycles, it becomes a sequence you can wait on — and waiting is the whole discipline.
A cycle opens when the 5-minute SMI washes below -40. That washout is the cool-off: momentum has flushed, and the tape is now allowed to turn. It does not mean the turn has happened. Inside the cycle, structure has to form first — an RSI divergence, a W-shape, or a higher low on the 5-minute or a higher timeframe. Then the 1-minute trigger
XLY closes above its monthly target, quarterly target nextConsumer discretionary (XLY) closed Monday at 114.46, its first close above the October monthly target at 113.44. It sits well above the October and Q4 pivot at 109.21, so the monthly and quarterly bias point up, while the yearly bias still points down with price under the 2026 pivot at 120.08. The next level is the quarterly target at 115.28; the high since October 1 is 114.69, so it has not printed yet. Our trend reading is neutral with momentum turning up, and the upside left in the short-ter

SPY closed Friday at 759.97, under 760.80, and is trading near 763.10 premarket - back above 762.57 and just under Thursday's 763.96 close.

Bearish thesis for XLCThe Communication Services Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE Arca: XLC) offers investors exposure to some of the most influential businesses in the digital economy, including Meta Platforms, Alphabet, Netflix and major telecommunications companies. These businesses benefit from powerful brands, global distribution, network effects and, in several cases, highly profitable advertising platforms.
However, a strong business does not automatically make an attractive investment.
The bearish case for XLC
Head and shoulders triggers on SPX! Can we confirm tomorrow?Hello folks I have been busy this weekend, but I still wanted to get a video out for you folks even though its midnight at the time of recording. Lets get ready for next week!
We have officially triggered the head and shoulders pattern we were talking about in our previous video! BUT we have NOT YET CONFIRMED! If you have been a subscriber of mine for the past months you know me well enough that I always wait for confirmation. Am I risking profits on the short side? Yes but in a case like thi
SPY Weekly Outlook Oct. 26–30: Fed, Big Tech Earnings and $760
Catalysts: This is one of the busiest weeks of the quarter. The Fed announces its rate decision Wednesday, followed by earnings from Microsoft and Alphabet after the close. GDP and PCE inflation arrive Thursday morning, while Amazon and Intel report after the close. About 36% of S&P 500 companies are scheduled to report this week, so earnings reactions could strongly influence SPY.
Daily Chart: SPY closed at $759.97 after declining from the $781 area. Price broke below its rising support trend
SPY Sunday Night Market Prep - October 25This week could give us plenty to work with, but it could also punish anyone who decides they already know how it ends.
I’m leaning Green, with Yellow my second choice. I still don’t feel like the market is ready to commit to a major correction, and I see room for a recovery. The hourly chart still has to prove it, though. We have lower highs and several levels the bulls need to reclaim before that recovery becomes convincing.
I’m using the hourly candles to show the bigger battlefield. All th
Potential outside week and bullish potential for BUGEntry conditions:
(i) higher share price for NASDAQ:BUG above the level of the potential outside week noted on 2nd October (i.e.: above the level of $47.54).
Stop loss for the trade would be:
(i) below the low of the outside week on 28th September (i.e.: below $43.72), should the trade activate.
IWMInteresting setup here
Long term, we retesting our previous monthly resistance. A breakout like this happened back during COVID with the stimulus money, but it didn't last. I think after this seasonal run up back to 295-300 we will begin a decline back inside long term channel
Here's a close up of August reversal monthly candle. August closed around 295 and that is where Sellers will be waiting for iwm up there
Now zooming into the weekly , and this is why I think Iwm will bounce.

Opening (IRA): SPY October 16th -625P... for a 6.25 credit.
Comments: Continuing to ladder out in time, targeting the strike paying around 1% of the strike price in credit.
Will generally look to roll up intervals to the strike paying around 1% of the strike price in credit, assuming there are greater than 45 DTE and that strike is at less than the 25 delta.
