S&P500: Eyes 7,100 on multiple bearish signals.S&P500 is neutral on its 1D technical outlook (RSI = 52.517, MACD = 23.520, ADX = 18.357), extending the flat price action of practically the last 30 trading days. There are three distinct Sell Signals that have emerged however and are calling for at least a drop below the 1W MA50 next. The price has hit the top of its 4 year Channel Up and remains inside the top Fibonacci Zone of the pattern. In the meantime, the 1W RSI is on a LH Bearish Divergence while the MACD on a Bearish Cross. All those 3 Sell Signals took place before every major bearish wave of this pattern (Jan 2026, Jan 2025, August 2023) and all broke below the 1W MA50 before rebounding. The 2025 and 2023 sequences even hit the 1W MA100. Technically expect S&P500 to break under the 1W MA50 and 0.5 Fib at least (TP1 = 7,100) and if the midterm elections are a bearish catalysy, extend losses to the 1W MA100 (TP2 = 6,800). Based on the Time Cycles, a 1W MA100 is expected to take place soon anyway. ## If you like our free content follow our profile to get more daily ideas. ## ## Comments and likes are greatly appreciated. ##

The Rejection Happened Now Bulls Face Their Next TestIn my September 2 outlook, I highlighted the 7,813.33–7,816.70 resistance zone as the level that could determine the S&P 500's next move. The message was simple: break above it, and the bulls could take control. Fail to reclaim it, and another pullback could follow. The market has now given us its answer. The bulls made their attempt, but they could not break through the resistance zone. Price was rejected, and the pullback we were watching for followed. But this is where the story becomes interesting. The rejection did not turn into a collapse. After pulling back, buyers stepped in near 7,701.98. The bulls are now trying to defend this level and prevent the rejection from turning into something bigger. So the story has changed. The question is no longer whether the S&P 500 can break 7,816.70. That rejection already happened. The new question is whether the bulls can hold 7,701.98 and keep the broader recovery alive. The next chapter: If 7,701.98 holds → The bulls could regroup and push back toward 7,773.15, with another attempt at the 7,813.33–7,816.70 resistance zone potentially following. If 7,701.98 breaks → The bears could gain momentum, and the recent rejection may develop into a deeper correction. The July selloff was followed by a powerful recovery. The recovery then ran directly into major resistance. That resistance won the first battle - but the bears have not yet won the war. The next move will depend on whether the bulls can defend 7,701.98. The rejection happened. Now comes the real test.

IBEX 35: nine weeks of nothing, and why that is the wayA year in four moves. November. The index bottoms at 15,892 . Nothing about it looked like a floor at the time — it rarely does. November to July. A grinding, unspectacular advance. Two real drawdowns along the way, neither of which broke the sequence of higher lows. By midsummer IBEX has added roughly 4,400 points . Late July. Price tags 20,356.5 . That is +28% off the low, and it is the highest print on this chart. The nine weeks since. Nothing. Genuinely nothing. The index has traded between 19,734.7 and 20,356.5 — a 3.1% box — for over two months. Friday closed 20,021.81 , almost exactly the middle of it. That last move is the one worth sitting with. After a 28% advance, a market usually does one of two things: it keeps going, or it gives a meaningful portion back. IBEX has done neither. It has simply stopped, at the highs, and stayed there — which is a different message from either. Sideways at the top of a trend is not distribution by default. It is also not accumulation by default. It is what a market looks like when buyers are unwilling to pay up and sellers see no reason to hurry. Nine weeks is long enough that this is a stance, not a pause. The box has two edges and neither has broken. 20,356.5 above, 19,734.7 below. The next real information comes from which one goes first, and how far price travels in the days after it does — a break that immediately stalls says something very different from one that runs. Until then, the most honest description of Spain's index is that it went up a lot, and then it waited. Analysis for discussion. Not financial advice.

Nifty is falling quietly, and the quiet is the storyThere is a version of a decline that frightens people and a version that bores them. Nifty is currently running the second kind, and it is worth paying attention precisely because nobody is. The index topped at 24,774 and closed Friday at 23,779 . That is 995 points , almost exactly 4% , surrendered over several weeks. No gap down, no panic session, no headline. Just a long, patient drift lower punctuated by rallies that keep failing a little sooner than the last one. What makes it interesting is the volume, or rather the steady absence of it. When 24,090 finally broke — the shelf that had held through most of the slide — the market did not rush to sell. Turnover on the sessions since has been shrinking, and Friday printed 205.9 million against a 45-session average near 320 million . That is 64% of normal, and the single lightest session in the entire sample. Contrast that with the one genuinely heavy day in this stretch: 710.9 million , more than 2.2x average. That day closed at 24,080 . Everything since has been the market drifting down on a fraction of the participation. There are two honest readings and I do not think the chart settles between them. The first is exhaustion. Sellers who wanted out are largely out, buyers have stepped aside rather than turned bearish, and a market that stops falling hard on light volume is often a market running out of supply. 23,606 is the level that would test that idea — it is the last shelf beneath price. The second is apathy, which looks identical until it does not. Thin markets fall easily because there is nothing underneath them. A decline nobody is participating in can accelerate the moment somebody decides to. The distinction shows up in volume, not price. If Nifty holds here and turnover starts building on the green sessions, the first reading gains weight. If it slips through 23,606 and volume only appears on the way down, the second does. Until then, this is a market that has fallen 4% while barely anyone traded it — and that is a genuinely unusual thing for an index this widely held. Analysis for discussion, not a recommendation. Do your own research.

My Eight-Point Framework for Finding Investment CandidatesMR ERC ERI: My Eight-Point Framework for Finding Investment Candidates As a small investor, I cannot compete with large institutions in resources, information or speed. My advantage must come from something simpler: a consistent process, clear thresholds and the discipline to follow them. That is why I developed MR ERC ERI , an eight-point framework for evaluating the market environment and identifying companies that may combine quality, value, financial strength, growth and supportive ownership. The name is built from the first letter of each criterion: M – Market R – Return on Invested Capital E – Earnings Yield R – Revenue relative to Market Capitalization C – Cash relative to Market Capitalization E – Earnings Growth R – Revenue Growth I – Institutional and Insider Ownership The first two letters— MR —stand slightly apart because they represent two particularly important questions: Does the market support buying now, and does the company produce a strong return on its invested capital? M – Market Environment Even a fundamentally attractive company can struggle when the broader market is weak. The purpose of the M criterion is therefore not to predict the next market move, but to measure the current market temperature. I evaluate the S&P 500 using three questions: 1. Is the index higher than it was three months ago? 2. Is the index higher than it was six months ago? 3. Is the index above its 50-day moving average? If all three conditions are met, the market provides full support for new purchases. If one or two conditions are met, the market signal is cautious . A valid investment may still be considered, but with a reduced position size. If none of the three conditions are met, the market does not support new purchases. The remaining MR ERC ERI criteria should still be evaluated, but the recommendation is to wait before buying. This distinction is important: M does not decide whether a company is good or bad. It indicates whether the broader market currently supports taking the risk. R – Return on Invested Capital My ROIC threshold is: ROIC of at least 20% ROIC measures how effectively a company generates operating returns from the capital invested in the business. A high ROIC can indicate a strong business model, efficient management or a durable competitive advantage. It helps me avoid companies that appear cheap but require large amounts of capital to produce weak returns. For me, this is one of the model’s most important company-specific criteria. E – Earnings Yield My Earnings Yield threshold is: Earnings Yield of at least 20% Earnings Yield compares the company’s earnings with its market valuation. It is essentially a way of asking how much earnings power I receive relative to the price the market places on the business. A high Earnings Yield may suggest that the shares are attractively valued. However, it must not be viewed alone. Earnings can be temporarily inflated, cyclical or about to decline. That is why Earnings Yield is combined with the other MR ERC ERI criteria rather than used as a complete investment case by itself. R – Revenue Relative to Market Capitalization My threshold is: Revenue equal to at least 50% of Market Capitalization This criterion compares the company’s sales with the value assigned to it by the stock market. Strong revenue relative to market capitalization can reveal companies where substantial business activity is available at a relatively modest market valuation. It can also identify situations in which expectations have become unusually low. Revenue does not guarantee profitability, but it helps show whether there is a meaningful operating business behind the valuation. C – Cash Relative to Market Capitalization My primary threshold is: Cash equal to at least 50% of Market Capitalization When cash is not the most informative measure, I may instead consider: Working Capital equal to at least 50% of Market Capitalization A large cash position relative to market value can provide financial resilience and may indicate that the operating business is being valued very conservatively. Working capital can serve a similar purpose for certain companies by showing the short-term resources remaining after current liabilities. Cash must still be interpreted carefully. It may be needed to fund losses, repay debt or support normal operations. The criterion is therefore a signal for further investigation—not proof that the shares are automatically cheap. E – Earnings Growth My threshold is: Quarterly Earnings Growth of at least 10% Valuation tells me what the company costs. Earnings growth helps show whether the underlying business is moving in the right direction. Improving earnings may indicate stronger demand, better margins or increasing operating efficiency. Negative or highly unstable earnings require more caution because a percentage-growth figure can then become misleading. The purpose is to identify genuine improvement rather than reward a single flattering number. R – Revenue Growth My threshold is: Quarterly Revenue Growth of at least 10% Revenue growth can confirm that earnings growth is supported by expanding business activity rather than only cost reductions, accounting effects or temporary margin changes. A company growing both revenue and earnings generally presents a stronger development than one improving its profits while sales remain stagnant. Revenue growth is not sufficient on its own, but it can strengthen the evidence that the company is moving forward. I – Institutional and Insider Ownership My threshold is: Combined Institutional and Insider Ownership of at least 75% Institutional ownership may indicate that professional investors have performed their own analysis and see value in the company. Insider ownership can align management and shareholders by giving decision-makers a direct financial interest in the outcome. Neither group is automatically correct, and very high institutional ownership can sometimes create additional selling pressure when sentiment changes. I therefore treat ownership as supporting evidence—not a substitute for independent analysis. A Framework, Not a Prediction MR ERC ERI is not designed to find perfect companies, and I do not expect every candidate to satisfy every criterion. Its purpose is to combine several independent forms of evidence: * the condition of the broader market, * the company’s return on capital, * its valuation relative to earnings and revenue, * its financial resources, * its earnings and revenue development, * and the commitment of institutions and insiders. The full assessment is completed even when the market criterion is cautious or negative. This allows me to separate two different questions: Is the company worth following? Does the market support buying it now? MR ERC ERI helps me identify and rank potential candidates. It does not determine the exact entry price. For that, I use separate, rule-based technical methods— Reversal 4 ATR and Breakout 2 ATR— which require the individual stock’s closing price to confirm the opportunity. I do not need to know exactly what the market or a company will do next. I need a repeatable framework that helps me evaluate the evidence, control risk and make the same type of decision every time. That is the purpose of MR ERC ERI. Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational and educational purposes only. It is not financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any security.

Weekly Technical Analysis — 7 September 2026Wall Street has eased into a shallow pullback after tagging fresh highs near 55,000 in August, with price now sitting just below VWAP inside the upper half of its band. The rising trendline continues to underpin the broader uptrend, and RSI's retreat to the high-40s reflects cooling momentum rather than a reversal. A reclaim of VWAP would keep the bullish structure intact, while a break of trendline support risks a slide toward the lower band. Germany 40 has pulled back from its recent highs, with price now trading just below VWAP after failing to sustain the push above 26,500. The index remains well above its rising trendline, keeping the broader uptrend intact, and RSI's slip to the mid-40s points to a pause rather than a trend change. A recovery back above VWAP would restore bullish momentum, while a break of trendline support would open the door to a deeper correction. UK 100 is consolidating just below its recent high, with price holding modestly above VWAP as the index digests its August rally. A descending short-term trendline is capping the advance for now, but the broader uptrend remains intact with RSI sitting comfortably above neutral. A break above trendline resistance would reopen the path to fresh highs, while a slip back below VWAP would flag a deeper pullback toward support. Cable has eased back from its recent push toward 1.3670, with price now trading just below VWAP in a shallow pullback. The pair remains above its rising trendline, keeping the broader bullish structure intact, and RSI's return to neutral reflects fading upside momentum rather than a reversal. A reclaim of VWAP would put resistance back in view, while a break of trendline support would risk a deeper slide toward 1.3460. EUR/USD continues to chop without a clear direction, with price oscillating around VWAP inside a well-defined range between support and resistance. The pair has recovered a large share of its summer decline but has yet to challenge the descending trendline capping the topside, and RSI sitting near neutral offers no strong directional edge. A decisive break of either the trendline or the range extremes would be needed to establish a fresh trend. USD/JPY has turned sharply bearish, breaking down through both VWAP and its support trendline as sellers took firm control of the pair over the past week. The move lower has been impulsive, with RSI plunging into oversold territory as downside momentum accelerates. VWAP now acts as resistance on any bounce, with further downside favoured while price holds below the broken trendline. Gold has pulled back from its recent push toward 4,500, with price now trading just below VWAP after the rally stalled beneath the descending trendline. The broader recovery from the year's lows remains intact, and RSI's retreat to neutral reflects a pause in momentum rather than a reversal. A break above the trendline would reopen the path higher, while holding below VWAP risks a deeper correction toward support. Brent Crude has extended its rally in impulsive fashion, trading well clear of VWAP as it presses against the horizontal resistance that has capped price since the spring. RSI's push into the mid-60s underlines the strength of the current move, with the trend showing no signs of stalling yet. A break above resistance would open the door to fresh highs, while a close back below VWAP would be the first sign this leg is losing steam.

Why breadth matters during intraday consolidationTwo consolidations can look pretty similar on the index, but the participation underneath them can be very different. On the left, SPX spent most of the day chopping sideways after the morning move. Price itself wasn’t giving much away, but breadth remained strong during the consolidation. The range eventually resolved higher. On the right, the price action looked similar at first: another long intraday consolidation. But participation was much weaker. That setup eventually broke the other way and resolved lower. That’s why I pay attention to intraday breadth. The index only shows you the aggregate move. Intraday breadth gives you a better sense of how much of the market is actually participating underneath it. It won’t tell you what happens every time, but it can make two similar-looking setups very different reads. During intraday consolidation, that extra context can matter a lot.

Weak USD next week? The DXY does indicate thatI am seeing a clear bearish trend building in the DXY. Here are a few reasons for my bias: - price has broken below my long term tendline and retested it from below. - price has been below the 50ema for over a month. - there was a double top formation in the 101.57-101.37 in June/July after which price has stayed below that zone. - More recently, the area between 100.00 - 99.79 has held has resistance as has the 50ema. - the round number 100.00 containing price below it is significant too. In my opinion, we can find suitable trading opportunities in any of the majors, as an example look at my GBPUSD chart below. This is not a trade recommendation

Nifty Analysis EOD – September 7, 2026 – Monday🟢 Nifty Analysis EOD – September 7, 2026 – Monday 🔴 Support Siege: Nifty Breaks Three Floors Before a Wild 220-Point CAS Swing 🗞 Nifty Summary Today opened with a gap down, landing a tick below PDL and the Mother Candle Low — and for a while it looked like we might actually tag the target on that Harami Doji pattern from before. From the open, the index slipped steadily lower, losing about 150 points to mark the day low at 23,738.70. Along the way it broke below the previous two days’ lows, the 23,850 ~ 23,835 support zone, IBL, and the most important support on the sheet at 23,785. After the low, there was a small recovery — roughly 50 points — with 23,785 flipping to resistance and pushing price back down toward the day low again. The 3:15 PM close came in at 23,759.40. Then the CAS session did its own thing, spiking 220 points away to a high of 23,981.25 before settling 20 points above the 3:15 close, at 23,779.15. Overall it felt like a day under selling pressure, though PUT pricing was behaving a bit oddly against that — something worth watching. The close landed almost at the strong support zone, but still below the swing low, which keeps things a little uneasy going into the next session. It’s a candle with a real body to it, closing well off the highs — whether 23,785 holds as support or turns back into a ceiling is probably the first thing to watch tomorrow. 🛡 5 Min Intraday Chart with Levels 📉 Daily Time Frame Chart with Intraday Levels 🕯 Daily Candle Breakdown Open: 23,883.15 High: 23,890.00 Low: 23,737.90 Close: 23,779.15 Change: −118.55 (−0.50%) 🏗️ Structure Breakdown Type: Strong Bearish — sellers stayed in control for most of the session, with the close settling well off the day’s high Range: ≈ 152 points — moderate volatility Body: ≈ 104 points — a body that size shows sellers had real control, not just a token move down Upper Wick: ≈ 7 points — barely any wick up top, so there wasn’t much attempt to push higher Lower Wick: ≈ 41 points — some buying showed up down near the lows, enough to pull price back a bit before the close 🛡 5 Min Intraday Chart ⚔️ Gladiator Strategy Update ATR: 171.12 IB Range: 79.85 → Medium Market Structure: ImBalanced 🧱 Support & Resistance Levels Resistance Zones: 23855~23875 | 23915 | 23965 | 24010 Support Zones: 23785 | 23670 | 23630 ~ 23600 🧠 Final Thoughts “Some days the market tests every floor just to remind you which ones are real.” What stood out today was how much ground broke below before anything held. 23,785 gave way, the 23,850 ~ 23,835 zone gave way, and even IBL didn’t slow things down much — sellers just kept pushing until the CAS session flipped the mood entirely. If 23,785 holds as support again tomorrow, there’s room for a bounce back toward the 23,850 zone. If it breaks and holds below, 23,670 and then 23,630 ~ 23,600 become the next spots to watch. Honestly, that CAS swing today is a reminder to stay a little more careful around the closing window — it can undo a clean read on the day in minutes. Sticking to the plan and letting the levels talk tomorrow feels like the right move. ✏️ Disclaimer This is my personal digital diary and represents my own analysis and point of view.

Japanese Yen at a Turning Point?Japanese Yen at a Turning Point? | BOJ, Jpy Yields & the Next Bullish Move Hello TradingView friends and followers! 👋📊 I hope you are all doing well and having a successful trading journey. Today, I want to take a deeper look at the Japanese Yen Index (JPYX) from both a fundamental and technical perspective, with a stronger focus on monetary policy, Japanese government bond yields, and the changing global macro environment. 🇯🇵💴 🏦 Fundamental Outlook — Is the Yen Regime Changing? For many years, one of the biggest structural drivers of yen weakness was the large interest-rate differential between Japan and other major economies, especially the United States. Very low Japanese interest rates made the yen one of the major funding currencies for carry trades, where investors borrowed yen at relatively low costs and invested in higher-yielding assets elsewhere. But the macro environment is changing. 📈 The Bank of Japan (BOJ) has been moving toward monetary-policy normalization while gradually reducing its purchases of Japanese Government Bonds. According to the BOJ's purchase-reduction plan, monthly Jpy purchases are scheduled to decline toward approximately ¥2 trillion per month by Q1 2027. This is highly important for the yen because a reduced central-bank presence in the JGB market can contribute to higher market-driven yields and potentially increase the attractiveness of yen-denominated assets. 📊 JGB Yields — A Major Yen Catalyst One of the most important developments in recent weeks has been the sharp increase in Japanese government bond yields. Japan's benchmark 10-year JGB yield reached around 3% in early September 2026, a level not seen since 1996. On September 7, the yield was around 2.93%. The long end of the curve is also under significant pressure, with the 30-year JGB yield around 4%. This matters for the yen because higher Japanese yields can potentially lead to: 🔹 Expectations of further BOJ tightening 🔹 Higher returns on yen-denominated assets 🔹 Reduced attractiveness of yen-funded carry trades 🔹 Potential capital repatriation into Japan 🔹 Stronger demand for the yen if the trend persists However, rising yields are not an unambiguous positive for Japan. Japan carries a very large public debt burden, meaning that higher long-term yields can increase government financing costs and potentially create additional fiscal pressure. Therefore, markets need to balance two opposing forces: higher yields supporting the yen through monetary normalization, while simultaneously creating greater fiscal and financial pressure. ⚖️🇯🇵 🏦 BOJ vs. Federal Reserve Another key factor is the relationship between BOJ and Federal Reserve policy. Historically, the wide interest-rate differential between Japan and the U.S. supported USD/JPY and encouraged investors to sell/borrow yen. If the BOJ continues tightening while expectations for U.S. monetary policy change, the interest-rate differential could gradually narrow. Markets are currently highly sensitive to the possibility of a BOJ rate hike in September, with expectations centered around a potential 25-basis-point move toward 1.25%. Meanwhile, the yen has recently strengthened toward the 154 area against the U.S. dollar, reflecting changing expectations around BOJ policy and the potential unwinding of carry trades. Rather than describing this simply as "manipulation" by the BOJ or Fed, I would frame the current environment as the result of monetary policy, FX intervention, interest-rate differentials and changing market expectations. Intervention can have a significant short-term impact, but for a sustainable trend, the underlying interest-rate and bond-yield structure is likely to matter more. 📈 Technical Analysis — Can the Yen Continue Higher? On the weekly JPYX chart, we have a very interesting technical structure. After a prolonged decline, the index found important support around 668 and started to recover. The current price is approaching the 692–700 resistance area, which is the key level shown on the chart. 🎯 🟢 Bullish Scenario If the index can achieve a confirmed weekly breakout above the 692–700 resistance zone and hold above it, the probability of further upside increases. The next major resistance area would then be around 722–727. A confirmed breakout above that region could potentially signal a much stronger structural recovery and a broader bullish phase. 🚀 For me, the key point is not simply an intraday break — I would prefer to see confirmation and acceptance above the resistance zone. 🔴 Bearish Scenario We should also respect the possibility of a false breakout. If the index fails to hold above the 692–700 area and produces a strong rejection / false breakout, another correction could develop. In that case, the 668 support zone becomes extremely important. A confirmed break below 668 would weaken the current bullish thesis and could suggest that the recent recovery was only a correction within the larger bearish structure. 🧠 Final Fundamental + Technical View Overall, the macro environment for the Japanese Yen looks more interesting than it did in previous years. 📌 Rising JGB yields 📌 BOJ monetary-policy normalization 📌 Gradually declining JGB purchases 📌 Growing expectations for higher Japanese rates 📌 Potential unwinding of carry trades 📌 Changing expectations regarding the U.S.–Japan rate differential Together, these factors create a potentially supportive medium-term environment for the yen. However, macro fundamentals alone are not enough to confirm a sustainable trend. For that reason, I would still wait for technical confirmation above the current resistance zone before becoming significantly more bullish. 📊 🗳️ What do you think? Is the Japanese Yen entering a new medium-term bullish trend? 🟢 Bullish: Breakout and continuation higher 🟡 Neutral: Range-bound movement between support and resistance 🔴 Bearish: Breakdown below 668 and continuation of the bearish structure Share your view in the comments! 👇💬 ⚠️ Disclaimer This analysis represents my personal and educational view based on fundamental and technical analysis.
