SP 500 Forecast and Renko Charts Technical Analysis
Another stunning reversal, this time at 4,584, propelled the S & P 500 to new all-time highs. On the upside, there do not appear to be any obstacles in the way. According to our projections, the index will be close to 4,900 by the end of January. Whether the SP 500 can maintain its upward trend above 4,900 and then challenge 5,000 remains to be seen.

Writing Covered Calls
In a variety of market conditions, covered call writing can be highly beneficial. It is an excellent method of protecting the equities in your portfolio from losses. Writing covered calls can help you lower the cost basis of your investment, increasing your chances of making a profit. If you have great confidence in the underlying stock, writing out-of-the-money calls can be a profitable strategy. It is possible to make money by selling calls at or near the strike price of a stock if you are uncertain about the stock’s performance in the future.
Remember that in a downtrending market, in-the-money calls offer significantly more protection than out-of-the-money calls. For further information on how to include a covered call strategy into your investment portfolio, please see this post, which goes into detail about how to use in-the-money (ITM), at-the-money (ATM), and out-of-the-money (OTM) covered calls in a variety of market environments.
