๐งญ 1. Overview
- Chart timeframe: 1-hour
- Current price: 667.8
- The system has recently triggered a Short signal, consistent with past local tops.
๐ 2. Structural & Price Zone Analysis
๐น Key Structural Lines
- Upper Channel Resistance: โ 675โ678
- Mid-Channel Support: โ 657โ660
- Lower Support Zone : โ 648โ652
SPY just turned down from near the upper boundary (675+), failing to hold above that zone.
This reflects loss of upward momentum and suggests a likely retracement toward 660โ652.
๐ฎ 3. Forecast for the Next Several Days
Primary Scenario (Probability ~70%) โ Controlled Pullback
SPY is expected to drift lower over the next 3โ5 trading days, in a stair-step pattern:
Target Zone Technical Basis Comment
661โ663 Short-term reaction zone Could see temporary bounce here
655โ657 Mid-channel support First major profit zone
648โ652 EMA200 confluence Likely final support if selling persists Momentum and structure both favor this controlled decline before another long setup potentially emerges.
Alternative Scenario (20%) โ Range Consolidation
If SPY holds above 660 and oscillates between 660โ675, expect sideways drift:
- Best suited for neutral options strategies (short straddles, iron condors).
Low Probability Scenario (10%) โ Breakout Continuation
Only a clean hourly close above 678โ680 with renewed MACD/RSI expansion would invalidate the current short thesis.
That would open targets toward 687โ690, but thereโs no technical evidence yet for this move.
