A 5–7% SPY Pullback Wouldn’t Be the End of the World
A 5–7% Pullback Wouldn’t Be the End of the World $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ 🩸Historically, August and September are two of the worst-performing months for the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ , and I think this year will be no different. In the worst-case scenario, I’m expecting another 5% to 7% pullback, which would simply bring us back to levels from earlier this year. That’s not a crash. That’s a discount.On Friday, the S&P 500 sold off aggressively, and while the weekly BX Trender still shows strength, this could mark a short-term top. We’ve been waiting for a pullback. Markets don’t move in a straight line. After a 30% rally from the April lows into last week’s highs, this kind of move was overdue.Despi

It Is Coming. I am sure that all investors are aware by now that $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ is set to report its Q2 2025 earnings come Mon, 04 Aug 2025. As expected, jitters are backed (again !) to haunt S&P 500 - 2025 best performing IT stock, on its run up to releasing its quarterly earnings report card. This is because PLTR deviates from the norm when analysts tried to dissect it. Dissatisfactions. (1) Sky high valuations. A lot have been said about its valuation (currently at 123x sales as of mid July 2025) as being unrealistically un-sustainable. Having said that, there was a ‘food for thoughts’ post that question evaluating PLTR based on valuation alone. (see below) Due to real estate, I will not get into the details but readers
💰 Stocks to Watch Today (1 Aug) 1. Market Movers & News to Watch: • AMD (AMD): All eyes on AMD after earnings—market is reacting to guidance and AI chip sales. Watch for follow-through or reversal after the big move. • Nvidia (NVDA): Sympathy plays possible; if AMD’s tone is bullish, Nvidia could get dragged higher too. • Coinbase (COIN): Tumbled 9% after missing revenue and reporting a sharp drop in trading volumes.

$Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ : While the price found initial support at the current volume shelf, Friday's candle showed strong bearish conviction, suggesting further downside is likely. The next potential line of defense is at the $548 level, which will soon converge with the rising 50DMA. If that level fails to hold, the lower volume shelf should provide much stronger support. In my view, a test of this lower shelf in August is the more likely scenario.ImageFor whom haven't open CBA can know more from below:🏦 Open a CBA today and enjoy privileges of up to SGD 20,000 in trading limit with 0 commission.

SPX: A short-term bounce is likely based on the McClellan Oscillator
$S&P 500(.SPX)$ : A short-term bounce is likely based on the McClellan Oscillator. It reached oversold territory at -70. As highlighted, reading this low can trigger a technical bounce before the downtrend resumes. Will this time be different?Image $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ : A major reversal has been validated by high volume, although the price found some initial support on a thin volume shelf. The key question is whether this support will be enough to sustain a continued move higher.

$S&P 500(.SPX)$ - Major Resistance Reached, Now What?Back in March 2023, when I was posting exclusively on X, I identified $4,607 as a critical level. The market reached it on July 31st of that year and immediately initiated a 10% correction. The pattern repeated last year; in September, I highlighted the importance of $6,109. After slightly surpassing that level in January 2025, a major downturn followed, as we all remember.This brings us to the top this past Thursday at $6,427, which holds a similar technical significance. With seasonal trends also pointing toward a bearish continuation, let’s study the chart and the four key indicators we selected last week to navigate this likely reversal.For whom haven't open CBA can know more from below:
