Reply to comment by Dry_Job_1084 in Everyone is making predictions…why not then? SPY will stay between $407 and $427 until August 2023. Yes, I love crayons 🖍️ by Dry_Job_1084

technical analysis is astrology for dumb investors. at best, it's a red herring used by large funds to create bag holders.

I am not saying you are wrong or right and FWIW you could be right. But it's not because of TA

I’m looking at SPY data starting in February 1993 through today. TA and the 50, 200 day moving average “theory” has held up over the last 30 years. So maybe now it breaks, who knows! But I don’t think so.

... you realize those lines changes to best fit the trendline...

Because of that, it's always going to fit historical values... Whether it will 100% predict tomorrow is a guess... But know this, once tomorrow happens , the MA of the past weeks will change to fit lol.

Hence the term, "moving average"... when there's no data to plot, it can't tell you much. You can only speculate.

If you don't understand what I mean, maybe look at how it's calculated.

Yes, I understand how it’s calculated. I obviously wrote the same formulas used to continue calculating it adding in the predicted future daily values. Maybe, you don’t understand how it’s calculated and you don’t understand that a whole week of trading is only 1/10 of the 50 day moving average. So one week or one day can’t skew it much.

I think so. On account of it did. Back to 390s before end of first week of March. And here we are.

Not $390s. It’s barely under $400. But if you are so sure it is going to $390, you should buy puts. $390 strike expiring this Friday is going for $0.70. Super cheap. Go for it!

Isn’t just under 400 in the 390s? I can tell you it sure as shit isn’t 407-427. Sorry your ego is hurt. I’ll just continue to hold my July 405 puts I bought back in the 410s because I’m not a broke gambling regard and can afford theta.

That is definitely better than 0DTEs. Good job! You should double down on that play. I have a well seasoned ego, not easily bruised, no worries.
