Late in the Cycle: Is a Pullback Finally Coming?

Markets pause after new highs...here’s what to watch.
1

he market is extended on the daily chart, with most major indices approaching the end of their daily cycle rallies. We’re on Day 27 for $SPY, and while price discovery continues, it wouldn’t be surprising to see a near-term pullback—potentially even next week.

But context is everything: we're still advancing in the weekly cycle (Week 12), and monthly and quarterly charts look extremely bullish. This means any pullback could serve as a healthy reset for the next leg higher.

Let’s break it down by ticker 👇


$SPY – S&P 500

  • Daily Swing High Active Below: $622.43

  • Weekly Swing High Risk Level: $615.40

  • Next Target if Pullback Deepens: $575 (gap fill)

Outlook: Day 27 of daily rally. Could see a 50% retracement (26pt drop) that fills the May gap. Still in strong long-term uptrend.


$QQQ – Nasdaq 100

  • Daily Swing High Active Below: $553.18

  • Weekly Swing High Risk Level: $544.66

Outlook: New all-time high. Still strong, but due for a pause. Watch $553 on any weakness.


$DIA – Dow Jones

  • Daily Swing High Risk Level: $445.57

  • Weekly Level to Watch: $438.66

Outlook: Playing catch-up. Structure still bullish, but lagging tech.


$IWM – Russell 2000

  • Daily Swing High Risk Level: $221.77

  • Weekly Support: $214.15

  • Monthly Resistance: ~$235 (all-time high zone)

Outlook: No new all-time high yet. Catch-up trade forming. Watch for breakout attempt above $235.


$SMH – Semiconductors

  • Daily Swing High Active Below: $282.31

  • Weekly Support: $272.16

Outlook: Slightly weaker candle, but part of larger trend. Month 3 of new long-term rally. Still looks strong.


$DXY – U.S. Dollar Index

  • Daily Swing Low Active Above: 96.95

  • Weekly Resistance: 97.92

Outlook: Likely just a pause in a longer-term downtrend. Short-term bounce possible, but still bearish bias.


$TNX – 10-Year Treasury Yield

  • Daily Swing Low Active Above: 4.28%

  • Range to Watch: 4.19% – 4.52%

Outlook: Attempting bounce. Watch for rejection at upper range. Still consolidating inside April range.


$TLT – 20+ Year Treasuries ETF

  • Daily Swing High Active Below: $87.66

  • Weekly Support: $85.80

Outlook: Late in daily cycle. Daily swing high could lead to pullback. Watch for higher low if $85.80 holds.


$BTC – Bitcoin

  • 4-Hour Structure Support: $106K

  • Weekly Line in the Sand: $98,225

Outlook: Bull flag structure still intact. Breakout above $109K confirms continuation toward $150K target.


$ETH – Ethereum

  • Daily Support: $2,372

  • Weekly Range: $2,113 – $2,637

Outlook: Coiling. Breakout likely once BTC moves. Could explode from tight range.


$XAUUSD – Gold

  • Daily Range to Watch: $3,312 – $3,365

  • Weekly Swing High Active Below: $3,340

Outlook: Day 4 of new daily cycle. Pullback likely ending. Monthly chart still bullish heading into 8-year cycle top.


$XAGUSD – Silver

  • Weekly Support: $35.29

  • Monthly Resistance: ~$37.50

Outlook: Holding up better than gold. Above 10-day MA. Still one of the best long setups in the metals.


$GDX – Gold Miners ETF

  • Daily Swing Low Active Above: $51.12

  • Breakout Level: $53.74

Outlook: Leading gold. Day 5 of a new daily cycle. Breakout looks imminent.


$PL – Platinum

  • Daily Cycle Length: Day 63

  • Swing High Risk Level: $1,346

Outlook: Super extended. Could be topping short term. Wait for pullback, then buy the next higher low.


$NG1! – Natural Gas

  • Daily Support: $3.30

  • Weekly Swing High Active Below: $3.52

Outlook: Weekly cycle likely topped. Risk of deeper pullback. Not the cleanest setup.


$CCJ – Cameco (Uranium)

  • Daily Swing Low Active Above: $72.31

  • Weekly Support: $70.68

  • Weekly Cycle Count: Week 12

Outlook: Long-term breakout underway. Extended, but any pullback could be a buy. Monthly chart is a beast.


Final Thoughts
We're likely approaching a daily cycle pullback, but there's little evidence of structural damage on higher timeframes. Use that pullback as a buying opportunity—especially in sectors like semiconductors, uranium, and gold miners, which look primed for long-term gains.
