SPY

Let's take a look at the S&P 500. As I said before, we are at the all-time high, but we have a new sell signal here and the trend looks downward. Remember that Nasdaq can only move the S&P 500 index by a certain amount.

The S&P 500 index includes a lot of old, traditional companies that don't actually move in the same way. But we are now seeing a divergence between the Nasdaq and the S&P 500. I would be more bullish on Q's stocks here than on the S &P 500.

First up, guys, look at the S&P 500 pushing up pretty nicely after yesterday, failing to hold this declining trend line, the breakout scenario that took place on Monday. We never got a follow-up extension, and thus, we came right back down underneath that trend line.

But you see pre-market today looking like we're about to gap up and remain above this. As long as the 10-year yield and US oil do not spike, I see the spiders could have a very good shot of staying above this trend line. near-term for the bulls that would be good. You want to see a close above 768 and54.

Therefore, despite the decline in the SPY index, I believe the situation is still constructive.

looking at the spy for instance I I did take a long trade on this bounce over here and then I'm still short some from over here. So, um, that I covered most of it and actually I covered a lot of it right here and sold back a little bit right here, but I I still have a core position short the SPY and the semiconductors as well.

First up into the spiders. You can see here down 0 21%. But you notice the high. We were all the way up here above this declining trend line. Let's look at the 10-minute chart to really see what happened in the course of the day.

Now guys, you could see we were green all up until this final red 10-minute candle. This was a rosy day with all of that inflation data. As I mentioned, that was really keeping the markets buoyant.

And then if you flipped up just to look at the markets at the very end of the day, you would have said, "Oh, it was a red day." But guys, that was just one 10-minute candle. The entire day in the markets, we were in the green.

Matter of fact, we gapped up off of that pre-market news and continue moving higher. At one point, look, we were doing our best to maintain again above that declining trend line.

Notice how we just pivoted right off of it at 10:40 this morning, going back to the daily time frame. That would have been a big uh uh deal for the S&P 500 to get through those economic reports and then still remain bullish and pushing up near-term above that uh declining trend line.

Now, we find ourselves basically back here close somewhat very close to where we were yesterday. So, the good thing is though, the markets are getting through these times of stress and tests without really selling off.

Now, yes, we didn't continue staying higher, but all in all, this wasn't that bad of a day when I was anticipating the the inflation numbers to be much worse than they were. So, I think a lot of investors, including myself, um were looking at this somewhat of a positive uh picture for the near term.
