As this chart shows, the SPX bottomed on Feb 24, the day the war started, in dramatic fashion (big bar).
The index is now at the 50% retracement level (4,373). Will this level hold, or give way to much lower prices? pic.twitter.com/KnuWjMHBNV
Some thoughts on BTC/tech correlation:

Whether you agree with this framework or not, BTC has been correlating strongly to tech. (top left)

The ES traded on both sides of the first hour's range & then began a steady move lower. The uncertainty before the 3 day holiday weekend & the monthly expiration caused the downward pressure. Above 4405 or below 4352 can give a directional move. Pivot=4397 #ES_F $SPY pic.twitter.com/Boo7oxk9DQ

Stairs Down: (1) often, it should be "stairs up & elevator down"; over last 2 wks, however, SPX took a well-defined stair down sequence. (2) all the blue-bars are same length--it looks like tmrw SPX would find 4330 as bottom; also 61.8% retrace. (3) not 3rd-wave character so far.
Four meetings in a row the market has tanked AHEAD of FOMC.

But we don't have proof it's a trend yet.
Nor proof of climate change. Nor proof that reality exists.

Zooming out in #ES_F: The pullback since March 29 has formed a perfect declining channel (in yellow below: a bull flag). This does provide the setup for the multi-day relief bounce bulls have been waiting on. To keep in play though, bulls will ideally not want lower than ~4340 https://t.co/FUPuzUFb1r

Natgas +60% in a month and according to the Fed inflation starting to top. Such an easy hold when they do this and super tight trailing stop when they go parabplic like this. The sharper the incline the more savage the following decline. pic.twitter.com/KR5jfxZYL3
