SPY Futures April 2025Trump imposes new tariffs on imports from China, investors panic, and the market chops. A good level to look at on SPY Futures for the next couple weeks is 5528.00. I believe a break upwards can give bullish investors some confidence , while a rejection could bring even more downside. If we break upwards, possibly revisiting 5840.00, we're going to have to see if we can break that level and get back to the all time high. If we reject and price falls, the level to look at is 4833.00. A break of that support could mean a lot more downside in the coming months. But we're going to have to be patient allow Trump vs China to unfold.

Has the S&P 500 bottomed out?A global stock market crash under pressure from the trade war Since its all-time high last February, the S&P 500 has lost 20%, dragging all global equity markets into a general sell-off. This downward movement concerns not only the United States, but also the MSCI World index, confirming that a global aversion to risk has taken place. And unlike other periods of tension, this time there were no safe havens, except perhaps gold and certain bond segments. All sectors, even defensive ones, were affected. The source of this intense pressure on the markets? The trade war waged by the Trump administration against over 70 countries, with China leading the retaliatory tariffs. This highly conflicted geopolitical context has rekindled fears of a global economic slowdown, hence the massive flight to liquidity. The market is hoping for a PIVOT: but which one? Faced with this situation, only one thing can reverse the trend: a PIVOT. In other words, a major policy change capable of reversing the current dynamics of the financial markets. Two types of pivot are possible in the spring of 2025: that of the Federal Reserve (the FED) or that of the Trump administration. The FED's pivot is a monetary reversal. This would involve the central bank lowering interest rates again and halting the reduction of its balance sheet - in other words, injecting more liquidity into the system. In fact, the FED already slowed the reduction of its balance sheet in April, a sign that it may be getting ready to move. Two key dates to watch: May 7 and June 18, the next monetary policy decisions. But this pivot will depend on two essential conditions: the evolution of inflation and the unemployment rate. If these two variables warrant emergency support, the Fed could initiate the resumption of the federal funds rate cut. Trump's pivot: tax and trade diplomacy The other scenario is the Trump pivot. It rests on two pillars: trade diplomacy and fiscal policy. On the trade side, it would involve a return to the negotiating table, with the signing of agreements that would put an end to the spiral of customs sanctions. On the tax side, Trump continues to deploy a very marked pro-business strategy. Already, his first term (2017-2021) had been marked by a massive reduction in corporate taxes (from 35% to 21%) and tax cuts for households via the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. For this second term, starting in January 2025, Trump proposes to go even further with his “One Big Beautiful Bill” project: perpetuate the 2017 cuts, abolish taxes on tips, overtime, even pensions. Above all, Trump is considering a 15% corporate tax cut, especially for industries that produce in the United States. This would be a major fiscal shock, which could boost growth expectations and thus... the equity markets. Spring 2025 is a critical time window. The market can no longer afford to navigate uncertainty without a strong signal. Either the Fed will change its tone, or Trump will bend his economic and trade line. A pivot is essential if the S&P 500 is to validate a major market low. In terms of technical analysis of the financial markets, the S&P 500 index thus corrected by 20% before recovering last week close to the major technical support of 4800 points. This major chartist support (see the chart of the S&P 500 future contract attached to this analysis) corresponds to the peak of the equity market at the end of 2021 and the starting point of the bear market in 2022, against the backdrop at the time of the Central Banks' commitment to fighting inflation. This 4800-point level represents the guarantee of the uptrend initiated at the end of 2022. Note that this horizontal support is underpinned by a graphic uptrend line that joins all major market lows since the stock market shock of the health crisis. Another factor reinforcing the strength of this support is the quantitative aspect, which describes an extreme oversold technical situation conducive to a low point. The percentage of S&P 500 shares above the 50-day moving average has fallen below 10%, a threshold that has seen market stabilizations for over 15 years. The S&P 500 chart and the quantitative chart are attached to this analysis.

ES 3hr UpdateNo idea what this market is doing, it wants the gap fill but can't figure out a way to get there, lol. It did fill the gap up from last night though. Indicators are neutral, Powell speaks Wed, ECB meeting premarket Thu so I dumped my gold premarket today. Basically a wash trade, I wish I had figured out what was going on sooner. If ECB cuts rates, you'll see the EUro drop, which could cause a drop in gold in US dollars. Also, Euro gapped up last night which scared me, because that gap also needs to fill. All cash, can't keep up with the news while I'm working. I saw automakers got an exemption though, lol. We'll see a gap up Thu if ECB cuts rates, so staying cash, not shorting anything. I gotta fly out to WA to get my house ready for sale next week, might just take a break unless I see something. WIth Trump in office, teh market is bound to go oversold again, might just wait until I sell my house before resuming trading. We'll see.

ES/SPY Bottoming Process Gaining More ClarityThe George W Bush pattern still seems to be forming...taking the longer larger and more powerful form. Will the right lower part of the W take place above the lower left side, dead even or below. Certainly sentiment would lead us to believe it will be well below the left side. However, today failed to make a lower low. Selling may resume Sunday night/Monday morning or the double bottom retest may be complete....OR of course we can keep charging significantly lower.

ES - Day Trading Analysis With Volume ProfileOn ES , it's nice to see a strong buying reaction at the price of 5075.00. There's a significant accumulation of contracts in this area, indicating strong buyer interest. I believe that buyers who entered at this level will defend their long positions. If the price returns to this area, strong buyers will likely push the market up again. Uptrend and high volume cluster are the main reasons for my decision to go long on this trade. Happy trading Dale

Futures Hold Firm—Is This the Floor for the S&P 500?Market Overview: As inflation data continues to shape rate expectations and earnings season kicks off, traders are watching for signs of whether the recent selling pressure is fading or if volatility has more room to run. In today’s look at the S&P 500 Futures, we’ll break down trend conditions, price behavior, and the key Fibonacci levels that could play a role in where we go from here. Bearish/Bullish Trend Analysis Trend Condition: Bullish Trends: 7 Bearish Trends: 7 Overview: The market is currently split, with 7 bullish and 7 bearish trend lines, reflecting indecision and a possible tug-of-war between buyers and sellers. This balanced trend condition suggests the market is in a potential transition phase rather than clearly trending in one direction. Price Action and Momentum Zones Current Price and Change: Currently, the S&P 500 Futures are at 5,428.50, up by 32.75 points or +0.61%. Market Behavior: This week’s gain is a modest move higher following a period of downside pressure. It could represent the start of a stabilization attempt, though stronger confirmation is still needed. Momentum Zones: The index is holding above the deeper momentum zones, testing resistance near the top of the current bearish swing range. It’s attempting a rebound, but within the broader mixed trend structure. Fib Retracement Levels Current Position Relative to Levels: The current price levels are just above the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level. Key Fibonacci Levels: 23.6% → 5,537.68 38.2% → 5,148.66 50.0% → 4,834.25 61.8% → 4,519.84 Analysis: Remaining above the 38.2% retracement level is important. This level often acts as a support zone in a broader uptrend, especially during corrective pullbacks. If price can stay above this level, it would suggest some stabilization is taking place and may invite more bullish momentum. Overall Market Interpretation The current positive movement doesn’t drastically change the mixed market picture. The market is still in a state of indecision, with neither bulls nor bears clearly in control. Holding above the 38.2% Fibonacci level, however, could be an early sign of strength and a possible short-term pivot higher. Summary The S&P 500 Futures are showing moderate strength to start the week, though the broader sentiment remains mixed. The move back above the 38.2% Fibonacci level is a key development, acting as support in what may become a base for recovery. It’s still too early to call a reversal, but this level will be important to watch as traders gauge whether the market can firm up or continue to drift lower.
