β€’ We are approaching a death cross β€” the 50-day moving average is slipping below the 200-day.

β€’ πŸ“‰ Last occurrence: March 17, 2022

β€ƒβ€ƒπŸ”» Market bottomed in October 2022

β€ƒβ€ƒπŸ“ˆ Highs not reclaimed until January 2024

β€’ That drawdown?

  From 4810 β†’ 3500 = –27%

βΈ»

πŸ“‰ If History Repeats:

β€’ Current peak: 6147

β€’ A –27% drawdown would bring us to target: 4488

β€ƒβ€ƒπŸŸ‘ That’s just beneath the long-term trendline from the COVID lows β€” critical support zone

βΈ»

πŸ“Œ Downside Key Levels to Watch:

β€’ 4800 – Bounce zone & 2025 lows

β€’ 4662 – Long-term trendline support (COVID bottom extension)

β€’ 3500 – Major support & 2022 low

  ‼️ (3500 would be a –43% drawdown β€” worse than the COVID crash (-36%)   Unlikely unless we enter a deep recession)

βΈ»

🧠 Bottom Line:

β€’ The death cross is a bearish signal β€” be cautious.

β€’ πŸ“ 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!! 🚨

βΈ»

🌐 Macro Notes:

β€’ Market action still sensitive to trade headlines, tweets, and negotiations.

β€’ No trade deals + elevated tariffs = pressure remains.

β€’ But… If tariffs are lifted or deals are made β†’ we could rocket higher fast.

Either way--We will be ready!
