$SPX Tests 7,299 Resistance as $IWM Shows Early Momentum Weakness

SPX is approaching key resistance at 7,299 while showing early divergence signals. IWM remains bullish but is starting to show initial momentum weakness, though trend structure is still intact. 1. $S&P 500(.SPX)$ Don't fight the trend until key levels are breached. The recent indecisive candle is suggesting to be an early signal as the Stochastic divergence continues to extend. It is a matter of when, not if. Next major resistance: $7,299, the "Tom Lee Warning Zone". 2. $iShares Russell 2000 ETF(IWM)$ Bullish until proven otherwise by the loss of key levels. In the meantime, watch the emerging bearish MACD cross. This signal preceded minor consolidations (A & B) and one deeper pullback (C). Current

Divergence Builds: $SPX Strong, $IWM Weak, $IGV Resilient

The market is grinding higher, but the internals are sending mixed signals. While smart money remains steady—reducing the risk of a sharp selloff—rising retail confidence, gap-heavy price action, and divergences point toward a near-term consolidation rather than continued straight-line upside. 1. $S&P 500(.SPX)$ Dumb money confidence is strengthening while the SP500 continues to move higher, leaving behind gaps and indecisive candles. The good news is that smart money remains stable; so a major decline (-5%) is not expected, though a healthy consolidation (-1% -2%) is possible. 2. $iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF(IGV)$ The Software ETF showed resilience this week, with a 1.7% gain. The bounce

Will Bears Have a Chance Next Week?

Back on March 28, I highlighted in this publication how likely was the market to bounce, the call was unpopular, but my role is to assess the price action with neutrality, when the market is exhausted I call it for both directions, and that was the case back then. I highlight technical conditions, not news, not noise, price action generally precedes them, and this time was no different like in the tariff war in 2025, the further inflation fears in 2022. My statements included: “Oversold conditions have been seriously reached”, “If the market does not set a relief bounce next week, it would be against the trend of the last 25 years including the dot com and the great financial crisis” My analysis is clear and specific: I use indicators to identify potential reversals, and I use modeled pric

From AI Spending to Oil Shock: Key Forces Driving the 2026 Market

This week has been one of the most consequential for the 2026 market, defined by a historic Federal Reserve meeting and a flood of top-tier economic data. The Fed opted to hold the federal funds rate steady at 3.5%–3.75% for the third consecutive meeting, but the decision was marked by a rare level of internal dissent not seen since 1992. Four officials broke from the majority, signaling a significant rift over how to handle the “oil shock” caused by ongoing conflicts in the Middle East. With Brent crude $WTI Crude Oil - main 2606(CLmain)$ hovering above $100 per barrel and headline inflation spiking to 3.3% in March, the central bank’s “wait-and-see” approach is being severely tested by rising energy costs and a resilient labor market, where

$META Eyes Gap Fill While $SPX Prepares for Major Move

Markets are flashing mixed signals—index-level strength is holding, but internal breadth continues to weaken. With sentiment elevated and volatility compressing, both the S&P 500 and key mega caps like Meta are approaching inflection points where the next decisive move could define the near-term trend. 1. $S&P 500(.SPX)$ Bulls managed to avoid the bearish MACD crossover that seemed imminent last month, mirroring the price action seen in 2018. Beyond that, the monthly candle shows conviction, a move that is usually followed by bullish continuation when a reversal begins as highlighted. The divergence with stock participation persists, as the percentage of stocks above their 20DMA has dropped to only 50% of the index constituents. Greed sits

SPX: Market Peak or Tactical Pause?

$S&P 500(.SPX)$ The divergence with stock participation persists, as the percentage of stocks above their 20DMA has dropped to only 50% of the index constituents. Greed sits at 64, and the indecisive price action suggests a significant move is imminent. The S&P 500 $S&P 500(.SPX)$ rallied for three consecutive weeks when it bounced, gaining over 3% each week. Such an occurrence is rare in the stock market; the move was so rapid that apathy is the common human reaction, similar to what is observed during a breadth thrust signal. Today, the market is consolidating after this sharp move. Considering the high expectations seen across social media and mainstream news for a decline, I am providing a

Extreme Optimism Signals Near-Term Pullback Across SPX, SPY & QQQ; Semis Cooling

Markets are flashing early signs of exhaustion after a strong run. Sentiment has shifted toward extreme optimism, breadth is weakening, and key indicators are entering overbought territory. While the broader trend remains intact, these conditions typically precede a period of consolidation or a healthy pullback before the next leg higher. 1. $S&P 500(.SPX)$ Dumb Money Confidence has entered the Extreme Optimism zone, a level that historically coincides with index consolidations or healthy pullbacks. Furthermore, the Fear & Greed Index sits at 67 (Greed), while Smart Money Confidence is neutral ahead of major earnings reports. 2. $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ Stock participation has deteriorated

Will the Magnificent Earnings Week Extend the Rally or Expose the Cracks Beneath It?

The week ending April 24 delivered a technically rich but internally divided market. $Dow Jones(.DJI)$ and $S&P 500(.SPX)$ consolidated as anticipated in the previous Weekly Compass, with the SPX filling its gap at $7,051.2 as likely considered. Tech $NASDAQ 100(NDX)$ surged +2.4% for the week, and the semiconductor sector printed a +9.1% breakout reaching unprecedented overbought conditions that we will study today. The Three Green Soldiers pattern on the SPX and NDX weekly chart mentioned last week is in bullish play, and Bitcoin continues moving north since it was anticipated three weeks ago. The cryptocurrency has gained +13.7% since, and Ethereum +9.9%. B

SPX & SPY Signal Upside Continuation While BTC Maintains Bullish Momentum Toward $80.6K

Markets are holding a constructive tone, with equities showing signs of continued upside despite short-term consolidation, while Bitcoin maintains strong momentum within a sustained bull trend. 1. $S&P 500(.SPX)$ During the last 10 years, every time the Stochastic bounced from oversold area and made it above 50, the index maintained bullish continuation and consolidated when the oscillator was overbought (+80) with both lines. There is room for further gains, as %D is at 65%. 2. $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ Indecision at the Top: The price has moved between 702.5 and 711 this week, building a small volume shelf. Any loss of today’s low could send the price to $695 (volume shelf below), validating

SPX Holds Support as NDX Stabilizes and Invesco QQQ Signals Potential Bottom

Markets are showing early signs of stabilization, with key indices holding support and momentum indicators turning constructive. While short-term consolidation may emerge, leadership strength and improving technical signals suggest the groundwork for a potential upside continuation—especially with earnings acting as the next major catalyst. 1. $S&P 500(.SPX)$ The gap at 7,051 served well as support. While today’s move was tech-driven and price action felt indecisive excluding the $Defiance Large Cap ex-Mag 7 ETF(XMAG)$ giants, this does not imply a lack of conviction. These leaders are bouncing and could fuel the move heading into next week’s earnings. $Cboe Volat

Software: Backbone of the Digital Economy

Every industrial revolution has its toll booths. In the railroad era the toll booths were the trunk lines. In the internet era they were the operating systems. In the era now unfolding, the toll booths are the enterprise software platforms that sit between raw AI capability and the workflows that actually run the modern economy. These are the companies that own the data, the user identities, the audit trails, the sales pipelines, the creative pipelines, the security telemetry, and the service tickets. They are the rails that intelligence has to ride on if it wants to do useful work inside a public company, a federal agency, or a global bank. During the last months, the software stocks have been impacted in a significant way, but today they’re signaling reversals, the question is: Is that s

SPX Pullback Risk vs. QQQ Bullish Confirmation

Price action is becoming more nuanced, with the S&P 500 flashing short-term caution signals while the Nasdaq 100 strengthens on a higher timeframe basis. This divergence sets up a key moment for traders to watch both support levels and momentum confirmation. 1. $S&P 500(.SPX)$ The gap was filled with a bearish engulfing candle as the RSI fell from overbought levels (70). A tactical pullback/consolidation usually follows. Given the afternoon's indecisive price action, keep a close eye on $7,021; if lost tomorrow, the decline could deepen. 2. $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ $NASDAQ 100(NDX)$ Over the last 10 years, bullish Stochastic crossovers on the weekly chart have ma

Earnings Face-Off: Will the Rally Take a Breather?

U.S. equities concluded the week on a decidedly bullish note, driven by major geopolitical de-escalation and a strong start to earnings season. The $S&P 500(.SPX)$ advanced 4.5% for the week, crossing the 7,100 milestone for the first time and closing Friday at a record 7,125.36.

Greed Replaces Fear: $SPX Signals Strength as $AMZN $NVDA Stretch

The S&P 500 ($SPX) continues to show powerful momentum, supported by historically bullish RSI shifts. However, overbought conditions across mega-cap tech suggest the rally may pause before its next leg higher. 1. $S&P 500(.SPX)$ Smart Money was peaking and fear was at an extreme 15 at the end of March. Today, "Dumb Money" is peaking and greed has taken over 68. Rapid RSI changes on the weekly are strong momentum signals. Bullish follow-through 6 and 12 months later every time.

Last week the Weekly Compass presented 12 setups 10 reached their targets, 1 neared their target, only 1 moved in the opposite way. or remained constructive, resulting in a 91.6% effectiveness rate. The targets were based on these modeled support and resistance levels, and I was doubtful of some of them reaching their target considering the previous two rally weeks, but once again, these levels frame price action and in the same way that they worked in bearish weeks during march, they worked well during this bullish move. Top Performing Setups Bitcoin / IBIT: This was my high-conviction play regardless of broader market action. IBIT hit the extended target of $43.7 and closed the week at $43.9, delivering a robust +5.7% move. If you trade Bitcoin the move is even better for a +9% this week
