S&P500 - Long; For now ...

Cập nhật
This naturally rimes with the Nasdaq signals and with the overall global equities outlook.

Here, two opposing forces are the most significant factor;
1) The unfolding (and enduring!) USD strength - Downward pressure;
2) The massive, continuously inbound (to US) capital flows, primarily from Europe - Upward pressure.

Driven by the rapidly unraveling globalization (driven by a Europe which the US decided to turn into a bonfire that is now clearly visible from Alpha-Centauri, and a China which is dying of old age as the demographic apocalypse is hitting hard this year - 2023), these fundamental forces will likely make this year one for the records - especially when it comes index (equities) trading.
Many, many trading opportunities to be expected, throughout this year, probably far more than in other periods.

This thing is certainly at the cross roads and March is usually not an especially a good month for equities. HOWEVER, all signs here point to a Long Bias, coinciding with similar buy signals in the Nasdaq (NQ).
At this moment in time, this is an excellent place to enter LONG, given the clarity of the signals. This also means that very tight Stops can be utilized at these levels since any break, in either direction, is likely to be decisive. Thus, take advantage of this fact and load hard but with very tight stops - providing excellent R/R ratios in either direction. One must stay nimble here but opportunities abound.

“… and to ask whether we are in a bull market or a bear market is like asking Christopher Columbus whether he thinks the trees at the edge of the Earth are maples or pines.”
… not to mention, that the fundamental lack of an “end” attribute to the Earth itself easily supercedes any potentially ensuing biological classification debate.

“Of course, there is always a reason for fluctuations, but the tape does not concern itself with the why or wherefore. It doesn’t go into explanations. I didn’t ask the tape why when I was fourteen, and I don’t ask it today at forty.” – Jesse Livermore, Reminiscences of a Stock Operator

An other telling spread to look at is this one;

... which is clearly in a down-trend.
Normally, this one should be in an up-trend if one was to anticipate future S&P strength but (way!) over-leverage being where it is, this is also indicative of the massive de-levering that must take place before any fundamental value is represented by any of the equity indexes. (I.e. a -50% indexes decline, at some point before the next cycle, is a foregone conclusion!)

Interestingly, this eerily (but not all that surprisingly) matches exactly the projected 12 year (full-cycle; correlation coeff. -> 0 in 12.5 years) nominal return of a traditional portfolio mix (60/30/10 SP500 + T-Bonds + T-Bills). E.g., The DJIA (and the SP500 and the Nasdaq) is expected to lose 56% of it's value. (Those are all expected to end up in the same place.)
Ghi chú
Upon closer examination of the DJIA/Gold (above);

There is already a clearly visible break (dispersion) in this spread - normally an indication of equities falling into a 'stochastic sink'. (Translation: Narrow equities leadership aimlessly jumping around before a radical shift, e.g. a phase-transition)

A notable aspect of cypher patterns' is that they frequently indicate a lateral move across price channels - as is the case here. This would also imply that once such a lateral move is completed anywhere other than at the bottom supporting trend line, it is often the mark of price extremes, foreshadowing a major price reversal. When this happens on long(er) time frames (as is the case here), it is an accurate forecast of such a price extremes 71%-83% of the time (dependent on the cypher pattern in question).
Naturally, the Nasdaq is already leading the equities reversal - and thus, it is the preferred SHORT for now.
