SPY Charts and some Technical Analysis Today's Economic Calendar - The Charts - Opinion - Stock Picks. Today's Economic Calendar: 8:30 AM ET: Chicago Fed National Activity Index for September. This is a composite index of other data.10:30 AM: Dallas Fed Survey of Manufacturing Activity for October. THE CHARTS: (NOTE: Charts are a guide, do other research as well.) BRIEFING/OPINIONS: The S&P snapped it's winning streak on Friday as the large cap tech sector brought things down a bit. However, the S&P closed just below it's recent record high.Chart wise, looks like we had a great rally and the market may need a bit of time to catch its breath/pause. CHANGES: Raised our strong support level to SPY 430. NOTES: We were expecting a sideways range bound market to develop. With the latest advance and recovery rally we are now near the all-time highs again and potentially resuming the previous uptrend. If not, a new but higher trading range will develop. Risks: Negative budget or inflation headlines, political uncertainty, and Covid fears. SPY 430 is our strong support level. This level could also be considered a stop area for some traders. * If you have any questions, opinions, or comments to add please do so! * IF wanting to gamble: Options trades on these ETFs will give you a way to place your bets. $TQQQ - $SQQQ - $SPXL - $SPXS. * Beware - levered ETFs are subject to decay and are not for long-term holding. * POSITIVES: We are above the 20-day moving average.We are above the 50-day moving average, which is rising.We are above the 200-day moving average, which is rising. NEGATIVES: The Stochastics are overbought. (Short-term indicator).Thinking about the Fundamentals, Valuations, Virus news, the Economy, Jobs, Politics, The FED, etc.?Some things out there to worry about still! Or a wall of worry to climb as the saying goes. OUTLOOK: Longer-term questions to ask: When will the Fed's easy money and the stimulus sugar run out?Will higher inflation cause the Fed to raise rates? Covid still hurting the economy?Supply chain issues?We still say "Use Caution". Do not over risk yourself or over leverage yourself.We are still susceptible to large drops or dips.Look for trading opportunities that could result and have your trading lists ready. * Be careful if using MARGIN, be certain of your trades! *INDICATORS: The MACD is positive. The Stochastics are high/overbought. The Money Flow is positive. MA +/- (slope): The 50-day MA (442.81)(+0.19) and the 200-day MA (415.90)(+0.49) The 8-month chart (below). We are above the 430 strong support level, but previous support lines were broken. Next step is to see if a new trend emerges or what type of trading range develops in the near term.
