In July, the market adjusted slightly to prepare for the upcoming election on Nov. 5th, 2024. The SPY was usually topping out around the 22nd of the month, and started to go back up around the beginning of each month. But in July the downward movement lasted a little longer. (I circled the area where it started to adjust) and it started to go back up around August 6th.
I suspect the market will start to go up tomorrow as the 4 hour, 5 hour indicators started to show a move upward. I believe it will gap up tomorrow and continue to go up. I should have entered today but missed my chance.
I just started to use the Heikin-Ashi candlesticks as I find they show more of a definite direction on the chart itself. But I am still learning about this. :-) But you can see on the chart how you can see a definite direction on the chart itself.
I use the MacD, DMI and the Stochastic RSI as my indicators.
The SPY will move between 32 to 40 pts this month before a brief retracement prior to the election. This was the average movement in the past few months.
I use the fib tool to get a general approximation of the target. I'm not exact on how to use the tool so my targets are a little off.
I suspect the target will be around 598 (3.618 fib) to 604 (4.236 fib)
It should hit this target around Oct 22 -25th before trading sideways or going slightly lower prior to the US election.
After the election, the market will go back up.
Happy trading, everyone!!
