SPX S&P 500 Daily Chart; Overbot; Negative Divergence; Upper Band Violation; Uber Bullish Optimism and Rampant Complacency and Fearlessness at Stock Market Top

After Keystone has explained the topping process the last couple posts, the SPX daily chart has finally arrived at the neggie d top. The uber multi-year low CPC and CPCE put/calls signal rampant complacency and fearlessness in the stock market and, just like the March downdraft, traders and investors must pay for their uber bullish optimism by losing their Money.

The Aroon green line shows that every single bull in the stock market, 100%, believe that stocks will continue higher forever. Humorously, the red line down at 12% shows that nearly all the bears also believe that stocks will go up forever. The Aroon directly verifies the ridiculous positive sentiment in the put/calls.

As previously mentioned, the SPX can run a couple hundo points higher after the low put/calls and it may take a week or two to top out (unlike years ago where a top would occur days after the low put/calls). Honey, we're home.

As also previously explained, Keystone's 80/20 Rule says 8's lead to 2's on the way up and 2's lead to 8's on the way down, so the breach of SPX 6800 on the way up was key since it opened the door to 7200. It was a twisted path with the March swoon in the middle but it got there. Price is at 7209 so 7208 was breached so 7212 will likely print. If 7218 is tagged, 7220 is next and if 7228 is attained, that will likely lead to 7232.

The daily chart above is finally topped out with full neggie d across all indicators (red lines) so the 7220-7230 area is a logical place from which the stock market will start its down move on the daily basis. You had to wait for the SPX daily chart to top out with negative divergence and the pesky MACD line was not cooperating. The kittens are finally herded and price is topped out now with neggie d and a down move on the daily basis should begin. The only thing that can stop it would be happy talk such as the Iran War ending or the Strait of Hormuz opening or other such rosy words.

Focus on the MACD line. It is definitely sloping down as price printed another high locking in neggie d but you have to give it a day or so to make sure. The MACD line is flat as a newlywed's souffle so it would not take much for the bulls to try and jam price higher to boost the MACD a tiny bit for a matching or higher high. This would extend the top but only by a day or two. If the MACD line remains sloping down, the top is in on the daily basis. The Keystone Speculator is the Father of Divergence Trading.

The upper standard deviation band was violated so the middle band, that is also the 20-day MA at 6976 rising sharply, is on the table as well as the lower band at 6579 rising sharply. The volume was robust yesterday. Bobby Bagholder, Savita Sucker, Freddie Fool, Carmelita Retail and Antoine Sixpack could not buy shares fast enough. The two blue circles show distribution days where the so-called smart money is dumping shares on the dumb money idiots listed above. Are you ready to hold the bag? It is fun watching the human reactions especially when they are losing their shirts.

You have been patient waiting for the top to form on the daily basis and it is now topped out with neggie d. Plan accordingly. The SPX 2-hour chart remains in neggie d, however, it is feeling the thrust from yesterday, so it may take a few hours today for the neggie d negativity to soak into everyone's bones. Plan your trading today and next week knowing that a historic Black Monday or Black Tuesday may occur next week. These set-ups have been occurring, like last week, but the happy talk has been delaying the inevitable. Of course if negative news occur, it will act as an accelerator and catalyst for the downside.

AI will likely not live up to the hype in the near-term; it is something that will need to grow and find its way over the next 4 to 8 years before companies likely see a benefit. They tell you AI is increasing productivity now, but that is because they are using it as an excuse to get rid of the dead wood, then take their tasks and dump them on the remaining employees. There's your efficiency. Make sure you tell your kid that you cannot go to their big soccer game because you are kissing the boss's arse. Is this your life? Pity you. Cats in the Cradle.

Today, May Day, is Mexico's Labor Day. How come they celebrate labor by taking a siesta? They have to rest-up for the Cinco de Mayo parties in 4 days. Since there are many cockroaches in the markets now that are starting to show themselves as the lights are turned on, it is only fitting to sing La Cucaracha. Keystone was handed a "SPX 7.2K" hat but gave it to Carmelita. This information is for educational and entertainment purposes only. Do not invest based on anything you read or view here.

Note Added 8:20 AM EST: Iran War happy talk occurs so S&P futures pop +22 points as oil prices and volatility drops. It is a minor blip. Are traders getting sick of the Iran War baby games?

Note Added 6:03 PM EST: Wheee! Whooopie! Happy Days are here again. Iran War happy talk creates an orgy party for stocks. The SPX prints a new all-time high at 7272.52 and new all-time closing high at 7230.12 today, Friday, 5/1/26. Price settled a big 42 points off the intraday high. That behavior is evidenced by the Shooting Star candlestick, that is not the same as the Bad Company song Shooting Star, that printed today on the daily chart. Johnny was a school boy, when he heard his first Beatles song. The bulls drove price higher out of the gate celebrating the Iran War hype but the bears spanked price down, way down to where it started, creating the shooting star. Note that the end of day SPX point gain is what it was in the S&P futures when the Iran hype news hit this morning. The shooting star typically signals a reversal. Johnny made a record, it went straight up to number one. The MACD line is a tiny hair higher due to the rally today but stick a fork in the piece of sh*t. It's cooked and has topped out or will early next week. If you did not throw longs overboard and bring on shorts today, especially after the orgy open, shame on you. Next week may be historic for the stock market and talked about for decades to come. Johnny's life passed him by, like a warm summer day, if you listen to the wind, you can still hear him play. King Donnie Trumpski needs to accept the fact that he created a mess in the Middle East and he has to open the Strait of Hormuz, period. Even if it takes the Marines going in; they know what they are doing. Donnie created the mess and has to fix it, otherwise, China may get aggressive in waterways in and around Taiwan and other Asian nations. First, fire power has to be used to clear the Strait and then, second, it will still take time because insurers will not want to step up to guarantee the cargoes unless the military opens the strait and stays in control and on guard, or if the USA acts as an insurer. There is no other solution. Perhaps Donnie starts the operation this weekend? The new moon is 5/16/26 so if the Marines go in, they need maximum cover of darkness using their superior night vision. Perhaps a window of 5/14/26 through 5/21/26 is on tap for Trumpski's so-called 'all-Hell to break out' in Iran again? King Donnie has likely not given any thought for a potential humanitarian crisis occurring in Iran due to the blockade (millions of people starving). Memorial Day is coming and The Swing Dolls are warming up back stage and ready to cheer the military for the pending Strait of Hormuz operation. It's always a great show when the audience participates.

Note Added Sunday, 5/3/26: Uncle Warren says the greed is out of control now. Buffett does not like the prices of stocks and recommends not buying. Warren Buffett proclaims that he has never seen people in more of a gambling mood than now and "prices for an awful lot of things (will) look very silly." Berkshire Hathaway's cash hoard is the highest ever.

Note Added Monday Morning, 5/4/26, at 6:06 AM EST: King Donnie Trumpski provides happy talk right on schedule at about 4 PM EST last night a couple hours ahead of the futures markets opening at 6 PM. Many analysts on Wall Street are finally seeing the pattern. Of course, Donnie is trying to manipulate the futures markets prices as they begin trading for the week. Trump wants lower oil prices and higher stock prices. Out of the gate last evening, oil dropped but overnight reverses the losses and oil moves higher again. People are on to Donnie's bloviations and bellicose ramblings. Now commie China is calling out Donnie telling their companies to ignore tariffs. Donnie's bark does not have as much bite these days. Iran fires back messages at him the minute he tweets. For Donnie's schtick to work, he needs to be in control, or at least perceived to be in control, of the situation, but the Iran War debacle devolves into a bigger mess each day. Trumpski claims that he will help ships navigate the Strait of Hormuz but it sounds like more hollow rhetoric. He says he wants to help countries that are 'victims of circumstance'. That is what Curly Joe of The Three Stooges would say as an excuse for his actions.

Note Added Tuesday Morning, 5/5/26, at 7:47 AM EST: JPM says the stock market is 'not complacent'. They must be smoking dope over there.
