$SPY TOP 20

I can not begin to imagine what it must be like for a new investor or trader to navigate the market right now, if the only reference they had was sentiment on X, it would be very difficult to keep to your strategy and stay in positions with this enormous selling pressure and concerns with macro influences.....

And I don't think anyone can truly stay immune from these influences either, so we must have in place coping mechanisms and strategies to ground us and stay focused, and for us that is alway returning to the chart to verify if the structure is still in place and support levels are held.

Quite clearly the 200 Day MA has been tested and challenged at length lately but the truth is, it is holding for the second week now.

However, there is no bounce yet on this support level and likewise, there was no rejection underneath $571 when it was temporary lost during a trading session this week.

So your only response to this is to wait....let the market makers battle to hold support, you enter positions when support is confirmed and we see the start of a new impulse wave forming.

Otherwise, we wait for support to be lost and crucially a rejection from below

That's it, there is no other sensible way to approach this.

This is how to manage your portfolio at the highest level.

I will be ready and continue to guide this group when I believe the situation has changed.

JOLTS, CPI and PPI will continue to influence the market this week, so we must continue to expect volatility until we are clear.
