β οΈ Death Cross Warning
β’ We are approaching a death cross β the 50-day moving average is slipping below the 200-day.
β’ π Last occurrence: March 17, 2022
ββπ» Market bottomed in October 2022
ββπ Highs not reclaimed until January 2024
β’ That drawdown?
ββFrom 4810 β 3500 = β27%
βΈ»
π If History Repeats:
β’ Current peak: 6147
β’ A β27% drawdown would bring us to target: 4488
ββπ‘ Thatβs just beneath the long-term trendline from the COVID lows β critical support zone
βΈ»
π Downside Key Levels to Watch:
β’ 4800 β Bounce zone & 2025 lows
β’ 4662 β Long-term trendline support (COVID bottom extension)
β’ 3500 β Major support & 2022 low
βββΌοΈ (3500 would be a β43% drawdown β worse than the COVID crash (-36%) ββUnlikely unless we enter a deep recession)
βΈ»
π§ Bottom Line:
β’ The death cross is a bearish signal β be cautious.
β’ π Watch 4800 and 4662 as major levels of support.
β’ If the market mirrors 2022 behavior, 4500 is your realistic downside target.
β’ 3500 is the line in the sand if things unravel severely. massive buy zone!! π¨

π Macro Notes:
β’ Market action still sensitive to trade headlines, tweets, and negotiations.
β’ No trade deals + elevated tariffs = pressure remains.
β’ Butβ¦ If tariffs are lifted or deals are made β we could rocket higher fast.
Either way--We will be ready!
