SPY and Many Tickers Review 07/21/26

Astro Zan — Wed, 22 Jul 2026 01:32:43 GMT

=====

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Several markets, including the Nikkei, KOSPI, $SOX, and $SMH, are simultaneously retesting important lower support shelves after accelerated declines. The synchronicity is uncanny. Tuesday’s equity rally lacked confirmation from $RSP and depended heavily on $VIX being crushed as $SVIX retested 24.50, despite elevated Tre…

VIXPERATION Tomorrow 07/22/26

Astro Zan — Tue, 21 Jul 2026 18:24:51 GMT

=====

Today is all about VIX preparing for expiration tomorrow. They crushed it with SVIX. SVIX reached $24.50 and rejected. Back to $24.25 right now.

Think of VIX now as one smaller wave compressing down against a larger wave or wedge pushing higher. They meet in the blue shaded area, the fight will be here to see if the big blue wave will w…

Another Viable SPY Structure 07/21/26

Astro Zan — Tue, 21 Jul 2026 16:33:58 GMT

=====

As SVIX is hitting previous support as resistance at $24.50, I see SPY hitting this long line of 4 green candles, marked in yellow, the last three marked green candle tops, see both pictures below:

SPY Midday Update 07/21/26

Astro Zan — Tue, 21 Jul 2026 16:25:15 GMT

=====

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

$SPY has moved above the bearish triangle intraday, but the closing basis will determine whether the structure has truly failed. The immediate bearish target remains the 735 VCP level, while a sloped retest points toward 739–740, where approximately $23 billion in negative GEX is concentrated. $VVIX may complete a DeMark…

Gap up to resistance. Mini Pizza Hut present. This should sell back down.

Overnight Trading Notes ESU 07/20/2026

Astro Zan — Tue, 21 Jul 2026 01:31:54 GMT

=====

If you are trading the overnight ESU Globex session (S&P Futures):

S&P has been consolidating slowly since the June 2nd top.

Recently hit the box bottom at 1, and tonight, a double bottom at it at 2.

Price can rise to the pivot point at 3, dashed line at 7508, that’s a fair value price.

The ultimate prize if it can get there is the fuchsia me…

SPY Update Evening 07/20/26

Astro Zan — Mon, 20 Jul 2026 21:46:19 GMT

=====

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Monday’s early $SPY rally was sold as forecast, while $AAPL completed its DeMark 13 exhaustion setup and reversed nearly $10 from the intraday high. Tuesday’s direction may depend heavily on $VVIX: a quick gap fill would favor equities, while continued volatility strength would support additional downside. $GOOG faces a …

Bear flag, inside the morning cyan depending wedge. Nested bear flag.

SPY AAPL Update 07/20/26

Astro Zan — Mon, 20 Jul 2026 15:54:18 GMT

=====

As forecasted this weekend, the 13th exhaustion day for AAPL played out exactly, and she is down $8 thus far, should go for the $10 harmonic on the way down.

The way it broke down was more bearish than I expected, it rejected at the orange dashed line, not the major black resistance line, previous support.

Educational Note | Meaning of Gap-ups / Gap-downs

Astro Zan — Mon, 20 Jul 2026 01:19:18 GMT

Please read this discussion addressed to Linda Raschke where I present important information on the meaning of gap-ups and gap-downs from an engineering standpoint, these events are uber-important:

@LindaRaschke, as an aerospace engineer, I view gaps through the lens of fluid dynamics and pressure systems rather than as random market events.\n\nRegarding your $IBM gap comments, the rally into the 3/30 ceasefire followed an extreme compression phase.

SPY ESU Overnight Picture 07/19/26

Astro Zan — Mon, 20 Jul 2026 00:44:54 GMT

=====

Note blue / cyan wedge identified.

Note the broadening structure, the blue channel from the top.

First question: Can the price go from bottom of this channel to its top around 7550? Wall to wall?

My answer is no, unlikely. Reason: See the red horizontal line, the price already rejected at it once on the way up at the yellow mark.

The yellow m…

OIL SPOT WTI Update 07/20/26

Astro Zan — Mon, 20 Jul 2026 00:12:56 GMT

=====

Oil this evening closed the small gap it had overhead from before by jumping above the gap itself, go figure! See the rectangle in the picture.

Tonight’s candle rejection level opened the door for defining the oil target. See the blue wedge in the picture.

#WTI target: $90.50 between July 28–31 on CL1!.

I think it safe to buy oil until then.

NVDA & AVGO Multi-Month Forecasts 07/19/2026

Astro Zan — Sun, 19 Jul 2026 16:08:49 GMT

=====

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

$NVDA and $AVGO appear to be compressing inside mature wedge structures with a potentially important timing window around September 3. Nvidia's structure may be an ending diagonal, with the key question being whether the market is distributing or preparing for another speculative expansion. A rebound from support could p…

NDX AAPL Key Article for 2026

Astro Zan — Sun, 19 Jul 2026 03:06:11 GMT

=====

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The Nasdaq-100 is once again testing a long-term resistance line that has historically been associated with major market turning points. The March decline may have been too small to qualify as a full macro correction, raising the possibility that June 2 was a significant cyclical top. Near-term upside remains possible, p…

IBM Bubble Burst Profile Is Different.

Astro Zan — Sat, 18 Jul 2026 02:51:04 GMT

$IBM: This Single Stock Bubble Burst Is Different

Greed is fragmented. Panic is synchronized.

That distinction may explain the dramatic difference between $IBM’s ascent and its recent decline.

On the way up, the large blue gap-ups were generally not backfilled. However, they were also significantly smaller than the most recent gap-down—a true vacuum implos…
