Most people look at a stock chart and see random noise.
Technical analysts look at the same chart and see a map of human psychology.
If you are trading in this current volatile market, relying purely on "gut feeling" isn’t a strategy—it’s gambling. Here is a quick snapshot of the 3 Pillars of Technical Analysis I’m watching closely this week:
Price Action > News HeadlinesBy the time the news outlet tells you why something happened, the market has already priced it in.
· Current Setup: We are seeing a consolidation pattern (flag) forming on the S&P 500. A break above resistance with volume will signal the next leg up; a breakdown below support confirms the bearish divergence we saw on the RSI last week.
The Volume Confirmation
Price without volume is a lie. We saw a spike in sell volume yesterday during the opening hour, but the day closed near the highs. This indicates absorption—smart money is scooping up liquidity from retail panic sellers.
Key Levels to Watch
· Support: $4,200 (The 200-day MA is acting as a magnet).
· Resistance: $4,350 (Where the 50-day MA is sloping downward).
The Reality Check:
Indicators like the MACD and RSI are lagging. They tell you where we were, not necessarily where we are going. The real edge isn’t in finding the "perfect indicator"; it’s in risk management.
