• 📉 Last occurrence: March 17, 2022

📉 If History Repeats:

• Current peak: 6147

• A –27% drawdown would bring us to target: 4488

  🟡 That’s just beneath the long-term trendline from the COVID lows — critical support zone

📌 Downside Key Levels to Watch:

• 4800 – Bounce zone & 2025 lows

• 4662 – Long-term trendline support (COVID bottom extension)

• 3500 – Major support & 2022 low

  ‼️ (3500 would be a –43% drawdown — worse than the COVID crash (-36%)   Unlikely unless we enter a deep recession)

🧠 Bottom Line:

• The death cross is a bearish signal — be cautious.

• 📍 Watch 4800 and 4662 as major levels of support.

• If the market mirrors 2022 behavior, 4500 is your realistic downside target.

3500 is the line in the sand if things unravel severely. massive buy zone!! 🚨

🌐 Macro Notes:

• Market action still sensitive to trade headlines, tweets, and negotiations.

• No trade deals + elevated tariffs = pressure remains.

• But… If tariffs are lifted or deals are made → we could rocket higher fast.

Either way--We will be ready!
