Testing Final Support #Nasdaq / #NDX broke key 200-day SMA support and flushed lower. Last chance for the Bulls here as a weekly close back below the 26000 overlap invalidates the bullish outlook. Caveat emptor... marscapitalpartners.com
Testing Support #Nasdaq / #NDX held 200-day SMA support and remains trapped within a triangle consolidation. Bulls need to make a stand here and clear 50-day SMA resistance to confirm the bullish outlook. Trade back below the 26000 overlap invalidates the bullish outlook.

Key trend support remains lower, towards the 200-day SMA. #CrudeOil testing overhead resistance within a bullish triangle consolidation. #ZB #TY bonds setting up for a potential bullish change in trend.

Bullish Consolidation? #SPX #Nasdaq recent decline is likely incomplete and only part of a larger bullish consolidation. Ideally, an extension lower in wave (c) would set up a final rally into year-end. Key trend support remains lower, towards the 200-day SMA. #CrudeOil testing overhead resistance within a bullish triangle consolidation. #ZB #TY bonds setting up for a potential bullish change in trend.

Irregular Top #Nasdaq / #NDX remains trapped within a triangle consolidation. The preferred path remains an extension lower towards 200-day SMA support for wave (c) of a bullish wave 4. Trade back below the 26000 overlap invalidates the bullish outlook. More detail in this week’s Mars Market Update 👇 marscapitalpartners.com

Irregular Top #SPX #Nasdaq recent push to new ATHs is likely a wave (b) head-fake top within a larger corrective consolidation. This “irregular top” warns that the big-picture rally remains incomplete, with a final wave 5 push to new ATHs still in view. Key trend support remains lower, towards the 200-day SMA. #CrudeOil remains trapped within a bullish triangle consolidation. #US10yr (#TYX) rates would still look best with a final push to new cycle highs, but it is not required. We remain alert to a big-picture change in trend. More detail in this week’s Mars Market Update 👇 marscapitalpartners.com

Grinding Higher #SPX #Nasdaq wedging into new ATHs as they approach equality resistance. A near-term inflection: a potential head-fake wave (b) top and deeper corrective decline, or a break above resistance to help confirm an ending wave 5 rally. #CrudeOil remains trapped within a triangle compression. #TYX #DXY near-term rallies are extended and at risk of correction. #Gold #Silver attempting to hammer out a tradable low, but it’s too early to call.

Bull Flag Redux #SPX / #ES_F the near-term corrective decline is potentially setting up a rally to new ATHs. Bulls need to break up and out of the bull flag while above the 50-day SMA support. #Nasdaq / #NQ_F the corrective nature of the decline warns that the rally appears incomplete and would look best with a wave 5 extension to new ATHs while above 200-day SMA trend support. #US10yr Rates testing key 5.0% resistance with the FOMC on deck this week. #CL testing equality resistance but remains bullish from a big-picture perspective.

Indecision Remains #SPX warning of a potential top remains. Near term Bulls need to hold the 50-day SMA then the wave 4 low, with bigger-picture support in the 7000/200-day SMA area. #Gold #Silver expect a near-term correction lower before the bull trend reasserts itself. #DXY indecision remains with no confirmation of a change in trend. #US10yr Yields remain range bound but testing key 4.80% resistance.

Ending Rally? #SPX has enough waves in place to complete the wave 5 rally but would look best with an extension higher. The chart attached shows the potential ending-wave structure and target guide. #Nasdaq would look best with a final push to new ATHs. #ZN_F bonds wedging into the lows. #DXY at support for a key near-term inflection.

Rally Incomplete #Nasdaq #QQQ rally appears incomplete and would look best with a final wave 5 push to marginal new ATHs. Wave 5's are ending waves with reversal risk, so buyer beware. The 200-day SMA and 637 breakout remain support. marscapitalpartners.com

Bulls Extend #SPX #ES finally breaks up and out of its triangle consolidation to new ATHs. #Nasdaq #NDX strong rally from support remains incomplete and sets up a final push to new ATHs. #DXY #US$ only a corrective 3 waves up so far and needs to extend higher in 5 waves to help confirm a bullish change in trend. #CL_F #CrudeOil bullish setup remains intact - calm before the storm?
