This is a key resistance and key bifurcation point. The market should accelerate here and follow thru. If not, i will be looking at a stop and reverse trade to the long side.

Stopped out. 2727.5 remains the key pivot. Until that's taken out this is a bounce, which can abruptly reverse anytime. Above 2727.5, i will start looking to buy dips.

I know you mainly look at the SP500, but the Nasdaq already took out the equivalent 2727.5 level. SP500 and DOW came close.

Might be a decent indication it will break 2737.5.

That being said, have to follow your own rules. The rules have made you a lot of $.

QQQ is wild. I trade it very rarely.

 

Nothing comes close to obeying technical analysis as the SPX.

The idea here is to teach a lesson (punish) to those near month put buyers and have those trades expire worthless.

 

Happens like clock work every month....especially when it "feels" like a crash is in progress.

SPX forming a Doji on the daily chart.  I see a ST top here.

I thought a five waves down was impulsive, meaning you need at least a B wave and C to finish the correction.

Looks like you are saying 5 waves and back to new highs.

But if SPX closes today above 2720 then it can still go higher.................
