The "Big Picture" On Trading The Market At This Time... SPX/ES

Discussion in 'Technical Analysis' started by Scataphagos, Apr 18, 2022.

  1. It's simple.

    Big support @ 4100. Resistance @ 4600.

    Buy Support. Sell Resistance. Chase breakouts of those levels.


    Everything between is mere noise... but can be traded if skilled, but don't have high expectations on individual plays.

    KISS, baby! :)

  2. I was just going to post a reference to what KCalhoun said over the weekend... (paraphrasing) "I'm not going to buy until new highs (that would be > 4640 for this correction or 4800+ on the entire structure) or unless the market bounces up off of 4100".

    That's 100% logical technical strategy!!

    In between, it's for those with a "scalper's mentality".

    My personal leaning at this time is that the markets are in a "Wave 2 down" in a bear market, but not much conviction just yet. Alternate possibilities still considered.

    Down-sloping 50 day moving average on SPY+ has been since JAN,2022;
    inverse ETFs on that one /are going up 50dma.
    QQQ is about the same, except wilder trends.

    I never chase price (breakouts)

    An easier play on ES, NQ and DOW
    is just wait till it breaks out or starts a
    run..as soon as it starts to stall,
    prepare for a retrace.

    On the 30 minute chart, there
    will be a retrace 90% of the time
    on a big move.

    Enter position at the 50%
    retrace area of the 30 minute
    BAR.

    After it's done a few times you'll
    know where to take profit.

    Gold every time

    Your welcome

    Yeah it's a daytrading market for now imo... best strategy is pair trading scalp style eg SQQQ vs SOXL, LABD/LABU, GDX/DUST, BOIL/KOLD, YINN/YANG etc in my own trades, but it's a grind.

    I just pick whichever pair has best volatility/widest range. I put a buy stop .20ish above the uptrending one. As soon as I get a fill I then put a buy stop above the other one, to catch a pivot.

    It's more hit than miss some days, but a pita to flip back and forth.
