Should slowly take profit.

$.SPX(.SPX)$ is expected to continue to sell this week after it produced a bearish WXY model at Friday's 5862 high.Look for price to decline to at least 5762, but ultimately 5700-5650 for the B-Wave pullback. If that occurs, this B-Wave pullback should be bought for the final (!) leg up of Wave C of [W5] of Wave 5! $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ $E-mini S&P 500 - main 2412(ESmain)$ $.IXIC(.IXIC)$ $NASDAQ 100(NDX)$ $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ $E-mini Nasdaq 100 - main 2412(NQmain)$ ImageImag

$.SPX(.SPX)$ - Bearish MACD crossover and the diagonal of lower highs continues rejecting price.As mentioned previously, the best case scenario for this week is a weekly indecision candle, as of today there has been a 0.93% weekly decline. Today all eyes are on the 20DMA, if it is broken the lower Bollinger band is the usual destination, today at $5673.$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ soared beautifully as expected, but it cannot move the whole market.ImageGM! Futures are 🟢, and TSLA more. Yesterday I shared a navigation guide for SPX after market closed, it is in the latest publication⬆️, open for everyone💚. The gap flipped for Testa, be mindful about that.

$.SPX(.SPX)$ traded below 5775 thus confirming the deeper B-Wave pullback.Although price recovered today, further downside to 5700-5650 is favored before terminating the pullback.If so, this B-Wave should be bought for the final (!) leg up of Wave C of [W5] of Wave 5!.... then it dies.$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ $E-mini S&P 500 - main 2412(ESmain)$ $E-mini Nasdaq 100 - main 2412(NQmain)$ $NASDAQ 100(NDX)$ $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ 🔥 W

$.SPX(.SPX)$ - Support at the 20DMAThe daily candle isn't a bullish reversal one, but the 4H timeframe does suggest so. $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ Jumped as expected🎯, and it will influence the market tomorrow, so the odds for a bounce in SPX and $NASDAQ 100(NDX)$ based on the 4H chart are significant.The week is still expected to close in the red or with a doji in the best case scenario.ImageEarly, SPX - McClellan Oscillator Mentioned yesterday in the SPX post that breadth deteriorated in a significant way, the McClellan Oscillator moved down by -81%. It will be interesting when the pullback comes, this oscillator is already at -34, and oversold levels begin at -70.Ima

$.SPX(.SPX)$ - $5885 was the target presented to subs several weeks ago, and it can be considered reached since the top last week was shy by $7 points🎯.Price action closed today with a second daily candle showing indecision, chop ahead is possible. The market can continue moving up, but for someone who is not using clear support levels, it is safer to consider bullish continuation if $5885 is consolidated.The circles in the chart: The red one highlights a bearish engulfing candle followed by indecision ones, the oscillator was overbought. The green one shows an engulfing candle followed by indecision, those days the oscillator was oversold. The setup favors southbound resolution, but key levels have to be broken tomorrow by the close.Image

For U.S. stock market investors, especially those focused on tech stocks, every pullback has proven to be a buying opportunity.

UBS now expects the U.S. stock market to hit new highs in 2025. Jonathan Golub, the bank's strategist, raised his target for the $.SPX(.SPX)$ from 6,000 to 6,400 points in a note to clients on Tuesday. This new forecast implies a 9.2% gain from Monday's close.Golub pointed to a favorable economic backdrop as the driving factor. "UBS economists forecast 3.7% growth in U.S. nominal GDP in 2025, roughly in line with long-term averages," he said. He added, "Rate cuts should reduce interest expenses and default risks, boosting earnings per share and valuations."Golub’s call came right after the S&P 500 hit an all-time high, with the index up nearly 23% year-to-date. Investors are banking on the Federal Reserve cutting rates in the coming months, fu

The US Federal Reserve (US Fed) has cut the target range for the federal funds rate by 50 basis points (bps), from 5.25 - 5.5% earlier to 4.75 - 5.00% on Wednesday, the first time since 2020. The cut comes amid concerns regarding the job market in the US, and ahead of the US presidential elections in November 2024.Policymakers, according to reports, expect the Fed's benchmark to fall another half of a percentage point by 2024-end, and another one per cent in 2025.After this move, analysts expect the US central bank to now go slow on its rate cutting trajectory, remain data dependent, and also watch the outcome of the US presidential polls on November 5.U.S. futures jumped on Thursday.

I. Performance of Global Equity Indices (in US dollars) Data source: Bloomberg, 2024/09/15-2024/09/19, compiled by Tiger Brokers II. Our View This week, the Federal Reserve's FOMC decided to cut interest rates by 50bps, officially opening the door to rate cuts. Contrary to the previous expectations of mainstream institutions, the Fed did not adopt the "25bps cut + dovish statement" approach, but instead used a "50bps cut + hawkish statement" to continue balancing expectations. The market had already anticipated the start of the rate cut cycle with a 50bps reduction. Given that the current Federal Reserve's benchmark interest rate is significantly higher than the neutral rate (around 2.5%-3%), the initial 50bps cut demonstrates the Fed's determination to prevent an economic recession, mitig
