Important Notes:

  • NEW…After numerous requests from members we have now added our “Reversal Scout” HMA momentum indicator to our SIR Daily Snapshot Intraday Grid. You will be able to view this indicator live on our stream! This indicator is designed to provide an indication of the likely intraday directional bias as well as potential intraday turning points as its momentum condition shifts from positive to negative and vice versa. A positive momentum condition is reflected when the indicator is green and a negative momentum condition is reflected when the indicator is purple.

PRO TIP:


It is a fundamental truth that the inherent nature of the markets always offers the possibility that anything can happen. Risk is always present for upside and downside surprises. As traders, we should be cognizant of this fact and structure our trade planning and risk management accordingly – whether the technical evidence is clearly bullish, bearish or neutral with mixed signals. At askSlim we are bull/bear agnostic. The market messages drive our technical outlook. The analysis contained in the SIR products is developed as much as possible from a proprietary blend of objectively engineered trend, momentum and cycle studies and we look for alignment at multiple timeframes so we can provide the highest probability of directional bias along with projected key support and resistance levels. We will always provide upside and downside viewpoints as well.

Technical Overview

S-T Directional Bias (few days to few weeks outlook): The sum of the evidence at this time suggests a neutral overall short-term technical condition. 

We continue to keep a close eye on the price action’s impact on the technical conditions at multiple time frames.

    • Intraday Swing Trader –
      • On a breakout above 2982 the SPX will likely enter an upside intraday breakout acceleration zone from 2983-2992
      • The SPX has an intraday resistance zone from 2993-2996.
      • On a breakout above 2996 the SPX will likely enter an upside intraday breakout acceleration zone from 2997-3003

      • Above 3005 we are watching a Fib Ext zone (3023-3033) as initial area where the SPX may stall or reverse.
      • Above 3033 we are watching a second Fib Ext zone (3052-3064) as potential area where the SPX may stall or reverse if the prior zone fails to contain the advance.
