$NDX $IWM $SMH Print Inside Candles as Market Awaits Direction

As mentioned on Saturday in the Weekly Compass, “A temporary relief spike on Monday is possible,” and that is what the price action presented today. The reason is simple: short-term timeframes were extremely oversold. As usual, the levels played a critical role today. Price action revolved around the Central Daily Level of 7,431, attempting to move north, but the CWL provided to our premium subscribers acted as precise resistance. Price action printed an inside candle for the $NASDAQ 100(NDX)$ and key ETFs like $iShares Russell 2000 ETF(IWM)$ and $VanEck Semiconductor ETF(SMH)$ . Inside candles reflect market uncertainty with neither side establishing clear directio

SPX & NDX Lose Key Momentum Levels as Volatility Returns

Hello everyone, The futures session has opened and we are already seeing volatility. Prices opened in the red before staging a quick bounce. As mentioned on Saturday, a spike is possible, but the indices must recover their central weekly levels to provide stronger validation for a sustained bounce. I also outlined the less likely scenario of a gap down. $E-mini S&P 500 - main 2606(ESmain)$ $E-mini Nasdaq 100 - main 2606(NQmain)$ The key readings for this week include: 1.

$AAPL Top Signal, $TSM Shooting Star, $NDX Overbought: What's Next?

The market remains near record highs, but bearish price action and overbought conditions are starting to flash caution signals. Key levels in $NDX, $AAPL, and $TSM could determine the next move. 1. $NASDAQ 100(NDX)$ Such bearish price action at all-time highs suggests continuation. When those bearish candles are validated by an overbought RSI, the bearish likelihood increases. Can the market open green tomorrow? Yes, but it must prove any bounce by recovering key weekly levels. 2. $Apple(AAPL)$ TOP SIGNAL $AAPL is constantly analyzed in my Trading Compas (daily and weekly). We have navigated bounces and tops successfully by combining technicals and S/R levels. Link in bio for the full analysis and levels f

Nailed the Top: SPX 7,620 Reached and Overheated Conditions Validated

U.S. equities closed the first week of June with steep losses as a stalled technology rally and rising interest rate expectations pressured the market. A much stronger than expected May labor report triggered the reversal from overbought levels called during the recent days (and reinforced on Thursday afternoon to paid subscribers). The U.S. economy added 172,000 jobs last month, far above forecasts of 85,000. The unemployment rate held at 4.3%, and upward revisions to March and April added another 93,000 jobs. The data erased expectations for near-term rate cuts. Investors sold government bonds aggressively, pushing Treasury yields higher and strengthening the dollar. Markets are now fully pricing a quarter-point rate increase by year-end under new Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh. Highe

$SPX Target Achieved, Major Sell-Off Follows

Over a month ago, I updated my $S&P 500(.SPX)$ bullish target to 7,638, utilizing the annual line that has been included in my charts since the beginning of the year. On Wednesday, I highlighted that this target could be considered effectively reached when the market printed all-time highs at 7,620. Following today’s sharp sell-off, that analysis has proven remarkably accurate 🎯. When I establish a target for a weekly, monthly, or annual timeframe, I rely strictly on technical indicators and support and resistance models mapped out well ahead of price action. As my paid subscribers know, this is not the first time an anticipated top has precisely triggered a major sell-off; the February 2025 top stands as another successful example. Yesterday

$SPX Rebounds, Tech Loses Leadership, and Sector Rotation Takes Center Stage

The $S&P 500(.SPX)$ closed at 7,584.3 (+0.4%) after bouncing from the confluence zone of the 7,520 weekly level and the 7,515 daily level. The first validation of the bounce came at 10:00 AM with the recovery of the 7,534 daily level, followed by a move over the 7,559 central weekly level around 11:00 AM, establishing a bullish milestone that was consolidated when the central daily level of 7,570 held for the remainder of the day. These key levels were highlighted in yesterday’s Market Update (access here), alongside the potential bounce for $Alphabet(GOOG)$ and $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ . Both tech giants validated the bearish setups anticipated in the Weekly Compa

Choppy Markets Return: $SPX Hits Target as $AAPL, $IWM and $AMZN Reverse

The stock market has entered a highly choppy environment characterized by rapid, day-to-day reversals. For instance, $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ rallied 6.2% on Monday only to reverse -3.2% today. Similarly, $iShares Russell 2000 ETF(IWM)$ posted a +0.93% bullish move yesterday but is down -1.3% today. These sudden, signal-free shifts illustrate just how volatile conditions can get. As we observed during the reversals of February 2025 and February 2026, this type of price action requires extreme caution. Keep in mind that this choppy price action is triggering right after the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ neared $7638, the target I updated a couple of weeks ago. With this week’s recent

$SPX Tests 7,620 While $AAPL and $PLTR Reach Key Levels

Markets continue to grind higher, but key technical levels are beginning to matter. While $SPX battles resistance near 7,620, $AAPL is flashing a potential near-term warning signal and $PLTR remains one of the strongest momentum names on the board. 1. $S&P 500(.SPX)$ Slow moves keeping the price moving up steadily. Same as yesterday, $7,620 acted as a resistance zone. The close was better than yesterday, but the resistance remains the same; bulls want a breakout and bears want a definite rejection. Greed is at 57, breadth is still weak. 2. $Apple(AAPL)$ Shooting star candles in Apple have a high accuracy rate as near-term bearish signals. Today, we find out if this drop is short-lived or sustained. Di

$SPX, $QQQ & $PLTR: Momentum Holds, But Warning Signs Are Emerging

Markets continue to grind higher, but bearish RSI divergences and overbought conditions are beginning to appear beneath the surface. While $SPX and $QQQ are showing increasingly indecisive price action, $PLTR remains a standout with a strong technical breakout that could extend higher if software stocks take leadership next week. 📈 1. $S&P 500(.SPX)$ Indecisive price action again (doji), printing a bearish RSI divergence with both peaks locked in overbought territory. Will weekend news arrive to fuel momentum again, or is the market simply widening this structural divergence before a pullback? 2. $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ Indecisive daily price action, an overbought RSI divergence, and a gap sitting below at

$SMH Shows Warning Signs as $MSFT and $LLY Hit Their Targets

The market's biggest winners continue to deliver, with software and healthcare names extending their breakouts. However, after leading the rally for months, semiconductor stocks are beginning to show early signs of consolidation and deserve closer attention. 1. $VanEck Semiconductor ETF(SMH)$ Since semiconductors have driven most of the recent rally, printing a weekly indecisive candle with a gap below is a reason to be careful. The overbought RSI points to the same thing. To fill the gap, SMH would have to fall -5%. $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ 2. $Microsoft(MSFT)$ $MSFT was posted as a high probabi

Will Momentum Continue for a Tenth Week?

U.S. equity markets closed the holiday-shortened week of May 25 with meaningful gains and new record highs across the major indices. The S&P 500 $S&P 500(.SPX)$ added 1.4% to settle at 7,580, completing its 9th consecutive weekly advance. The Nasdaq 100 $NASDAQ 100(NDX)$ led the tape with a 2.9% gain to close at 30,333. The Dow $Dow Jones(.DJI)$ added 0.9% to finish at 51,032, while the Russell 2000 $iShares Russell 2000 ETF(IWM)$ gained 1.7% to close at 2,919.

MU, AMD, INTC, QCOM, and NVDA: which ones are more vulnerable?

The traditional semiconductor cycle has changed. For four decades, chip stocks moved as one: demand rose, capacity followed, prices fell, and the group corrected together on a predictable rhythm. That playbook no longer describes the market. The AI infrastructure buildout has accelerated demand so violently, and concentrated it so unevenly, that the sector has split into two economies operating under entirely different physics. The Data Center now runs on multi-year contracted backlogs, sold-out supply, and pricing power that compounds rather than decays. What broke the cycle was the scale and, more importantly, the visibility of AI infrastructure spending. Demand did not merely rise; it arrived with names, gigawatts, and delivery dates attached. Order backlogs now extend years rather than

SPX Stalls, VIX Climbs: Risk Signals Flash While Uber Sets Up Bounce

$S&P 500(.SPX)$ Indecisive price action suggests that most of the positive geopolitical headlines are already priced in. The fact that the $Cboe Volatility Index(VIX)$ gained more value than the indices suggests caution, pointing to a potential validation of the active bearish RSI divergence. $Uber(UBER)$ has reached oversold conditions. The last time price breached the lower Bollinger Band while the oscillator was oversold, it triggered a choppy bounce back up to the upper band. 😍 Been eyeing Tiger merch but short on Tiger Coins?

$MELI, $TSM, $IWM, and $PLTR Approach Critical Technical Levels

Market momentum is becoming increasingly tactical as select leaders test key technical inflection points. From $MELI rebounding sharply off oversold conditions to $TSM and semis flashing overbought signals, traders are watching whether momentum can continue or if mean reversion takes over. Meanwhile, small caps and growth names like $IWM and $PLTR are approaching critical breakout zones that could determine the next phase of market direction. 1. $MercadoLibre(MELI)$ Last week, $MELI stood out as an overextended bear with high probabilities for a reversal.

How a Peace Deal Could Fuel the Market?

The stock market has begun flashing consolidation signals over the last two weeks. The first warning arrived last week when the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ printed a shooting star on the weekly timeframe, while the $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ posted indecisive candles just above essential resistance lines. This past Friday, the indices followed up by printing indecisive price action at overbought conditions in the case of the $Dow Jones(.DJI)$ This type of indecisive price action suggests that a consolidation phase lies ahead. Ultimately, this has been an exceptionally powerful rally, but now the market must digest its recent gains. At the same time, we are seeing breaking positive

Markets at Resistance: $SPX $DIA $SMH Showing Exhaustion Signals

Markets are showing signs of exhaustion near key resistance levels, with bearish candle structures and RSI divergences emerging across major indices and semis. Setups in $SPX, $DIA, and $AMD suggest elevated pullback risk heading into next week. 1. $S&P 500(.SPX)$ Gravestone doji at the top; the next candle is very likely to be red, presenting a good R/R for shorts. The RSI divergence adds more bearish references. 2. $SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust(DIA)$ Indecisive candle above the Upper Bollinger band.⚠️ Usually risky for longs. The 20DMA is the usual minimal destination. The gap below adds pressure to the setup. 3. $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ S

Can $SPY $QQQ Extend Their 8-Week Winning Streak?

U.S. stocks advanced ahead of the long weekend, positioning the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ for an eight-week winning streak. This marks the longest weekly run for the benchmark index since December 2023. The S&P 500 rose 0.88% after approaching to our bearish target of 7,325 and bounced. The $NASDAQ 100(NDX)$ gained +1.2% also after touching its bearish target of 28,609 and the $Dow Jones(.DJI)$ added 2.2% during the week. This late-week strength emerged as investors absorbed falling government bond yields and a pullback in energy costs (Crude Oil $WTI Crude Oil - main 2607(CLmain)$ fell -8.2% during these five days).

Relevant Bearish Signals Take the Lead

Back in November 2025, I published a special study outlining our primary bullish target for 2026: 7,470 on the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ . Today, that exact mark has been reached, defying the widespread pessimism observed back in March. That analysis was rooted entirely in documented technical patterns, with zero gut feeling involved. Last Wednesday, our Market Intelligence study provided a clear roadmap for what to expect over the next few months, and Friday’s reversal appears to strongly validate the thesis we laid out. Furthermore, back on March 28, this publication highlighted the high probability of a bounce. By disciplined tracking of our weekly SPX levels and key technical indicators, we successfully navigated a 16%+ rally using one simple rule:

Stocks on Cautious Note as Yields Spike and Tech Slips

U.S. equities retreated from recent record highs as geopolitical friction and a sharp bond market decline weighed on investor sentiment. The S&P 500 $S&P 500(.SPX)$ printed a muted week with a net gain of +0.13%, the $Dow Jones(.DJI)$ closed muted -0.1%, and the $NASDAQ 100(NDX)$ declined -0.38%. Sector dynamics told a divergent story. Energy outperformed sharply, rising +6.7% during the week ( $Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund(XLE)$ ), while high-growth equities bore the brunt of the selloff. Discretionary dropped 3.1%, reflecting renewed caution. Materials and utilities also surrendered 2% each as Treasury volatili
