The rally and bottom in the SP500 began on February 11th, when the market took out it's January low of 180425 by 1.75 at 180250. Sellers failed to expand below January's low, turning the breakdown into a failure and setup the potential for a squeeze...
THE BOTTOM:
FOMC next week... Spoos known for rallying into these minutes.... #FWIW

V bottoms happen when longs are kicked out on a move down, as did from 1922-1802. New shorts are lured in, only to fail in expanding down, seeing shorts squeezed with a move back above its prior failed high, 1922. With longs gettting their teeth kicked in on downside and shorts as well on upside, this is where a plateau can occcur. Buyers have to get back in at original prices, and shorts have to reverse positions. Expansion through the V bottom, gives way to take the range of the V bottom and target that to the upside.
120 point move from the breakout level of 1920, and a 240 point move from the lows in February. All of which identified, and guided by @chicagostock. Nothing is guaranteed in a market. On the other hand, having an idea of where the market can go, is very important. This can not only be helpful in managing risk, but also in ideas for speculators. It is important to think outside the box and expect the unexpected so that if/when it does take place, one is not caught blind sided. More charts and analysis to follow.
