In many instances, the activities of the past few years of the major indexes can be described with a couple of simple facts:

Hello everyone — after a bit of a hiatus, I’m back. I’ve been busy behind the scenes building a few new tools that I hope you’ll find useful in your trading.
Below is a small table showcasing three markets I’m currently analyzing using a DAILY model. I also track other markets using a WEEKLY model. The choice of timeframe isn’t random — it’s driven by options expiry cycles. Since these models are designed to work hand-in-hand with options trading, I align the model’s frequency with the available expiries. For example, SPX has daily expirations, so it gets a DAILY model. Stock ABC, on the other hand, might only have weekly expiries — so it gets a WEEKLY model. Simple logic.

That didn’t happen, with a closing break over the middle band that rejected the next day. From there Solana made a slightly lower low in the 140-3 support area. Solana then retested the daily middle band again yesterday, and so far is failing there again.
The short term bull case depends on all of Bitcoin (BTCUSD) , Solana (SOLUSD) and Ethereum (ETHUSD) converting and holding their daily middle bands as support and, at the time of writing, all are currently below their respective middle bands.
