SPY Is Back Above 770.09 On Day Three Of The Long.SPY Is Back Above 770.09 On Day Three Of The Long.
SPY is at 770.69 in premarket, back above 770.09, the shelf it lost Wednesday, after two sessions that tested the long and closed above its 764.76 line both times. Both timeframes now carry a long thesis, but conviction is running against a structure that is still bearish, so this reads as recovery, not strength. Durable goods orders land before the open; the regular-session close is still the only test. The long stands on its original terms an

BLACKROCK BTC ETF, bullish reversal signalsBitcoin technical analysis does not necessarily have to be limited to observing the spot price alone. To identify the different stages of a potential trend reversal, it can be particularly useful to compare BTC/USD with the two main markets used to track institutional exposure to bitcoin: the CME futures contract and BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF, whose ticker is IBIT.
This approach makes it possible to determine whether the signals observed on the spot market are also visible on the instruments favo

GLD Daily: Double Bottom Forming at 388 Support on a Low-Volume Context
Choppy price action in gold again today. A small doji candle on low volume printed at the 388 support, and a double bottom pattern is now forming. Nothing interesting in the volumes.
Key levels
Support: 388
Resistance range: 395–400
Trigger: 400
What the chart shows
A doji is indecision: buyers and sellers finishing the day in the same place. On its own it tells you very little. What gives it meaning is where it appears and what volume it appears on.
Sitting at support on light volume
QQQ 1H: Gap Down Faded to 735 After PDL Rejection, PDH Now the KContext
Yesterday's summary had the bias as short below PDL. Today played out the same way: QQQ opened with a gap down and faded to the 735 level. The next area in focus was a 732–730 test, but the US–Iran deal news came out and changed the tape.
Key levels
735: today's fade level
732–730: downside test area
PDL: short trigger used today
PDH: the level that now decides direction
ATH: upside target if PDH holds as support
What the chart shows
Price rejected PDL with a 1h MTF rejection, confirmi
SPY: 34 EMA Bounce and 5/12 Curl After Gap Down Fade, PDH and 76Context
SPY opened with a gap down and faded, then popped on the US–Iran news. The reversal came right off a key moving average.
Key levels
34 EMA: bounce level
PDH: bullish bias trigger
765: bearish trigger
What the chart shows
Price bounced from the 34 EMA and printed the 5/12 curl, showing the short-term trend turning back up after the fade. The US–Iran news was the catalyst that shifted sentiment from the gap down.
Scenarios
Bullish case: Acceptance over PDH keeps the bullish bias in play
IGF: Bullish Harmonic Setup at a Key Infrastructure LevelIGF is sitting at an interesting level where a Bullish Harmonic Bat is developing on the daily chart. Price has sold off into the potential reversal area, and the setup becomes particularly interesting given the long-term infrastructure theme behind the ETF.
Trade Setup
Entry: $61.50
Stop Loss: $60.50
TP1: $64.60
TP2: $66.50
TP3: $68.50
TP4: $72.50
The $61.50 area is the key level I want to see hold. If IGF can stabilize here and begin pushing higher, the bullish setup starts to gain confirma

Is it finally time to short semiconductors? I think soIf we look at the chart here, we can see that we've now formed a higher low.
If we can break above $48.50 that should start the move higher. If price can decisively break the $63 range, then it's pretty much clear skies up to the top resistance area for a potential 10x from these levels.
Note: This is a 3x leveraged ETF so it's risky to trade if you don't know what you're doing.
Look for a clean breakout first.

SPY Is Trading Under 764.76 - Today's Close Decides The Long.SPY Is Trading Under 764.76 - Today's Close Decides The Long.
The long taken Wednesday on the reclaim of 765.52 is under pressure. SPY is at 763.21 in premarket, below the 764.76 level that ends it. That level is judged on the regular-session close, not on a premarket print, so the long stands until 4 PM ET. A close below 764.76 today takes it off and returns the read to Neutral. The surface is not supporting it: the 4H structure has turned bearish, conviction is middling on both timeframes, an

SPY Daily: Bouncing From 5/12 EMA, 766.5 Low Is the Level
SPY's Sept 23 session went up, then choppy, then down. Banks are the reason SPY is much weaker than QQQ.
KEY LEVELS
- Sept 23 low: 766.5
- Downside targets below it: 762 and 760
WHAT THE CHART SHOWS
The down move came on volume 32% higher than average: 54M vs 41.5M. On the daily chart, price is bouncing from the 5/12 EMA, which makes the 766.5 low the big level to watch.

Bearish case: If 766.5 breaks,
QQQ Analysis: Profit Taking After ATH Test, PDL Decides Sept 24After testing the all-time high, QQQ's move in the Sept 23 session reads as profit taking. That was the expected reaction at the ATH, and it puts the previous day low (PDL) in focus for Sept 24.
KEY LEVELS
- PDL (Sept 23 low):
- All-time high:
- Levels below the PDL: 734, 732, 730
WHAT THE CHART SHOWS
Price tested the ATH and pulled back. That pullback looks like profit taking at a major level, not a confirmed reversal yet. The PDL is the line between a normal pullback and a deeper move.
