Although at this point, I’m not sure ANYTHING matters anymore!
FWIW IMHO STFU

Watching The Wedges
In my post on Tuesday 5th August I was looking at the modest breaks back over the daily middle bands on SPX and QQQ on the previous day and noting that conversion of those to support would open possible all time high retests, and hard fails there would strongly support the H&S patterns forming on both.
In my post on Thursday 7th August I was saying the same about the second breaks on SPX and QQQ above those daily middle bands on Wednesday and looking at the three strong resistance trendlines on SPX, QQQ and DIA in the event that SPX and QQQ delivered those all time high retests.
In my last post yesterday I was updating the situation with the trendline resistance levels on US indices and noting a short term inflection point as we waited to see whether DIA would confirm the break back over the daily middle band on Tuesday. That has now resolved into a strong break higher on DIA.

In my post on the morning of Wednesday 30th July I was looking at the pattern setups on SPX, QQQ and DIA and saying that these delivered a very nice setup for at least a short time high forming there.
In my post on the morning of Friday 1st August I was looking at the first real signs of weakness on the US equity indices since the April low after the strong breaks of the daily middle bands on DIA and IWM on Thursday, and saying that confirmation was needed with further breaks of the daily middle bands on SPX and QQQ.
In my post on Sunday 3rd August I was looking at the strong breaks of the daily middle bands on SPX and QQQ on Friday and the closes well below the 3sd daily lower bands on DIA and IWM. I proposed a rally early this week to backtest the daily middle bands on SPX and QQQ while setting up high quality H&S right shoulders on both.

Back in my post on 11th April I called the likely start of a strong rally which we then saw.
Back in my post on 12th May I called for new all time highs on Bitcoin (BTCUSD) and laid out possible IHS scenarios on both Solana (SOLUSD) and Ethereum (ETHUSD), looking for ideal right shoulder lows on Solana in the 125.43 area and on Ethereum in the 2074.27 area. That hasn’t gone quite as I drew then but essentially both are still running that scenario.
Back in my post on 23rd June I called the likely lows on those right shoulders made on Solana at 126.09 and on Ethereum at 2113.65, and was looking for that IHS scenario on both to start to play out.
Back in my post on 18th July I was looking at the IHS that had since broken up on Ethereum and the progress made towards the IHS neckline on Solana.

In my post on the morning of Friday 1st August I was looking at the first real signs of weakness on the US equity indices since the April low after the strong breaks of the daily middle bands on DIA and IWM on Thursday, and saying that confirmation was needed with further breaks of the daily middle bands on SPX and QQQ.
We saw those further breaks on Friday so it is likely that the first significant retracement on US indices since the April low are now in progress. So what next?
