**Trading Game Plan – Gareth Soloway**
| Asset | Current Situation | Key Technical Levels | Outlook & Trade Ideas |
|-------|-------------------|----------------------|-----------------------|
| **S&P 500 Futures** | Down ~0.3 % today; still riding a neutral‑to‑upside trend. | • Support: ~4,250 (pivot‑based) <br>• Resistance: megaphone upper trend line (≈8,200 if it breaks) | • If the upper trend line holds, target ~8,200 by year‑end. <br>• If the lower trend line breaks, expect a 20 %‑plus correction. <br>• Use a stop‑loss just below the 4,250 support. |
| **Crude Oil** | Up ~3 % but still within a wedge; testing a resistance line at **$86**. | • Resistance: $86/barrel (pivot‑based) <br>• Likely range: $75–$85 if no breakout | • Watch for a close above $86 with confirmation for a breakout. <br>• If not confirmed, expect choppy trading between $75–$85 until the mid‑term elections. |
| **US Dollar Index (DXY)** | Pullback after a hawkish Fed speech; trend line acting as support that may turn into resistance. | • Recent support: ~110.5 (from the last swing) <br>• Potential resistance: same line if it breaks | • Expect rejection at the 110.5 level; a break could signal a downward move. |
### Market Context
- **Geopolitical:** Middle‑East flare‑up has pushed oil higher; any escalation could shift oil dynamics post‑midterms.
- **Monetary:** Fed’s hawkish stance (Kevin Warsh) and potential September rate hike (~60 % probability) are weighing on markets.
- **Inflation:** Higher oil feeds into consumer prices, prompting higher rates and influencing the yield curve.
### Technical Themes
- **Wedge Pattern (Oil):** Ascending and descending trend lines converging; a breakout would signal a new direction.
- **Megaphone Pattern (S&P 500):** Diverging trend lines framing a neutral‑to‑upside bias; break of either side determines next move.
- **Trend Lines & Pivot Points:** Used across all charts to identify support/resistance and potential reversal zones.
### Trading Strategy
1. **S&P 500 Futures** – Hold a neutral stance; consider long if the upper megaphone line holds, short if the lower line breaks.
2. **Crude Oil** – Watch for a confirmation of the $86 breakout; otherwise trade within the $75–$85 range.
3. **DXY** – Expect a pullback; consider short if resistance is rejected, or long if it breaks below support.
### Risk Management
- Place stop‑losses just below key support levels (e.g., 4,250 for S&P, $75 for oil, 110.5 for DXY).
- Monitor geopolitical and Fed announcements for sudden shifts.
- Use position sizing that reflects the volatility of each asset.
**Bottom line:** Markets remain resilient but are constrained by a mix of geopolitical tension, rising oil, and a hawkish Fed. Technical patterns provide clear entry/exit cues; stay alert to breakouts or reversals around the highlighted levels.
