      S&P500 Weekly Look - Not bearish until 420 (or MA50) gives way!

      Price action - 2 consecutive weeks of hammer candle and support off 421 - At confluence with uptrend channel too - MA50 on weekly chart has been a guiding one ===> It is confluence at support of 421 to 417 too Macro View On a macro view perspective, quite simple, once price action goes below MA50 which would be about SPY 420 or 417, I would lean bearish.  Just like how Friday action has shown, market makers like to do what it likes to do, which is bull and bear traps and past week was a bear trap.  Good luck, all!

      S&P 500 in Recession, Soft Landing or Golden Path?

      Its October 2023 and US market has just started its Q4 2023 journey. Since the beginning of this year, analysts have forewarned about US economy slipping into a recession as the central bank continued with interest hike from February 2023. The narrative changed when that did not happen (see above). With many diverse opinions swirling on the internet, things got a bit muddled. The question — “Is the US heading into recession ?” is something that I am very interested to confirm. This is because it will affect US stock market that will, in turn affect individual stock / company.

      Overdone?

      Personally, i think the recent brutal sell off has been overdone. But I like overdone stuff (except for my steak haha), so that I can take the opposite direction, and be a contrarian. Interestingly, Fear and Greed index has reached extreme greed level 2 days ago - the first time in about 6 months. Be greedy when others are fearful? Sold a Put on the day when the index hit extreme fear, on Tesla. Not financial advice. And it’s a risky move. Not just that, I have also picked up a few shares over the last few days Anyway, market doesn’t care about what we think . An oversold market can remain oversold for some time. We were sitting at key support levels for some of the stocks and indices. Good to see a nice bounce yesterday. ==== Stormy Stock Market! Further DOWNSIDE Ahead?? https://youtu.be/

      Government Shutdowns A government shutdown occurs when Congress fails to pass a budget bill on time, or when it cannot agree on a spending bill to keep the government running.

Impact on the $S&P 500(.SPX)$  The impact of a government shutdown on the S&P is difficult to predict, as it depends on a number of factors, including the length of the shutdown, the sectors of the economy that are affected, and the overall state of the economy.

      Technical Analysis on .SPX

      Hello everyone! Today I want to share some technial analysis about .SPX with you!The Red Line GAP: (1) A break-away gap below at 4221-4241 serves as a magnet to draw the market lower. (2) I think it would be at least partially filled during this down leg, and most likely whip-sawed in a lower level w-4. (3) refilling the gap invalidates all bullish option.ImageA potential... (1) I have to emphasize another potential for this type of break-away gap--the market would mark that zone with another break-away gap, but to the opposite direction. (2) not saying this would happen, but TA indicators are strong enough to warrant such a warning.ImageThe LOW is 4238, just touching the GAP and partially filled it. I am not saying this is ALL of the refilling effort, but it is a major portion of it. Toda

While the quarterly performance exceeded market expectations, the guidance for the next quarter appeared somewhat conservative, casting a shadow on investor sentiment. As a result, the stock fell more than 3% in after-hours trading.In terms of performance, for Q4 ending on August 31st, Micron reported revenue of $4.01 billion, down 29.6% year-over-year but surpassing the expected $3.93 billion. The adjusted gross margin was -9.1%, higher than Wall Street's expected 10.2%, and the adjusted EPS was -$1.07, while the market expected -$1.18. Operating cash flow was $249 million, lower than the analyst's forecast of $1.17 billion, but the operating cash flow for the same period last year was $3.7

The unpredictability of the stock market, especially during uncertain times, can be both exhilarating and nerve-wracking. It's a rollercoaster ride that tests our patience and decision-making skills. Looking back at the historical performance of these indices, it's clear that they have weathered numerous storms. From the dot-com bubble burst to the 2008 financial crisis, they have shown remarkable resilience. But can we rely on history to predict the future? While I'm cautiously optimistic about a potential rebound, I can't ignore the lingering uncertainties that cast a shadow over the market.

      As September unfolds, many investors are wary of its historical reputation as one of the worst months for the stock market. While some advocate a cautious "do nothing" approach during this month, it's essential to consider both historical data and the current economic landscape when making investment decisions. Is it really the best to do nothing knowing it is potentially the worst month? Historical Data Let’s first look at why September is called the worst month. Historical Monthly Returns Historically, it's generally observed that bull markets tend to last longer than bear markets, so the average monthly percentage change in stock markets is typically positive. However, there are exceptions to this positive trend, with February, May, and September standing out as months historically ass
