SPY: Beware of These Reversal Patterns!

1 ביוליIn the daily chart of the SPY, a potential double top pattern is forming, signaling a bearish reversal. The key resistance level for this pattern is around 550.12, where the price has failed to break through on two recent occasions, marked by red arrows.

This level is critical for traders to watch as it represents a significant hurdle for any upward momentum. If SPY fails to close above this resistance, it might lead to a bearish breakdown towards the neckline support at 542.62. A break below this level would confirm the double top pattern, potentially leading to a further decline towards the next support around 533.07.

On the weekly chart, a gravestone doji pattern has emerged, a strong bearish reversal signal, especially after a sustained uptrend. This pattern indicates that buyers were unable to maintain higher prices, leading to a close near the week's low.

The gravestone doji, appearing near the resistance level around 550.12, reinforces the bearish outlook suggested by the daily double top pattern. If the bearish sentiment persists, the first significant support to monitor is the 21-week EMA, which has historically provided dynamic support during uptrends.

Integrating the daily and weekly charts, SPY is at a crucial juncture. The double top pattern on the daily chart and the gravestone doji on the weekly chart both indicate potential bearish pressure. If you are bullish, a decisive close above 550.12 would invalidate the double top and suggest a continuation of the uptrend. However, the current technical indicators favor a bearish scenario, with the potential for a significant correction if key support levels are breached. For now, we should closely monitor these critical levels to gauge SPY's next move, balancing the bearish signals with the potential for bullish invalidation.
