Below is part of last week's review and education.
The deterioration that began with our bearish market internals signal on November 25th continues.
Not one ETF closed above its 20-MA last week, and while the S&P 500 and the Technology ETFs regained their 50-MA, they are whipsaw patterns.
The S&P 500 is at about the same price as it was on November 11th but has traded above and below that high since then.
S&P 500 as of 12/27/24

Since November 11th, prices have been whipping above and below the $6000 level, and erratic whipsaw patterns after an advance typically occur at a turning point.
Master Trader Technical Strategies (MTS) defines an erratic whipsaw pattern after an advance as the beginning of the Stage 3 trend.
While not the textbook of a Head & Shoulders pattern, what is formed is close enough and an example of distribution.
After Stage 3 comes Stage 4, the downtrend. When would that be confirmed?
Confirmation of the pattern occurs on the close below the recent PLs formed in November and December.
The unfilled gap and November 4th pivot low could be a stalling point before continuing lower into the Void of price support below.
Is it possible for this pattern to not follow through lower? Yes, it is.
Historically, what would happen is that prices would consolidate in the current area and begin to “tighten up.”
Tightening up would be defined by narrowing the candlestick ranges with fewer overlapping ranges.
The resolution to this pattern will not be resolved in the final two trading days of 2024.
The Money Management Course is simply the Best!. I just made $670.00 in 8 minutes using lessons I learned in the course! Well worth the price!

The MTS and Green Room has helped me build confidence in my trading very quickly. I have a lot to learn and I am loving every bit of it. The recommendation is the MTS course and Green Room. It is very valuable. At least it is to me. Happy Trading!

In 3 month’s time consuming the courses/Green Room/advisories I feel I have done a complete 180 turnaround ……it is all due to both of your teaching MTF analysis, intraday, compelling patterns, etc. and just from sponging off your brains!!
