Stock Market Update and the US Stocks Watchlist – 20 October 2022
The full post is available to view by members only. For immediate access:
The S&P 500 and other major stock market indexes pulled back for another day, but remains above the swing low that formed a week ago on heavy volume on the 13th October.
The chart above shows the SPY etf on the 195 minute timeframe (2 bars a day), and highlights the 5 to 6 month structure that's been forming, and could turn out to be Stage 1. But remains on the borderline of returning to Stage 4. If looking for positives, then the heavy volume shakeout on the 13th formed a potential Wyckoff Spring, and so could turn out to be Phase C of the base structure, if the current test is successful, i.e. forms a higher low and resolves higher (above 380). Also of note is a divergence in the volume, which can be seen via the Force Index indicator, as supply has diminished over the last month.
Another thing to consider is that it is monthly options expirations tomorrow (Friday), and so in the SPY the maximum pain level is currently at the time of writing at 373 – which is the level that the most options would expire worthless, with a heavy put to call ratio.
