Last week we flagged a textbook setup: triple 13s across SPX, CCMP, and INDU with price flips, Reference Close breaks, and even the Semis (SMH) flashing red. It was everything bears had been begging for — structure, confirmation, momentum shift. But this market doesn’t make it easy. And just like that, confirmation slipped through our fingers.

The market just dropped a trifecta of DeMark Combo 13 and Sequential 13 sell signals across SPX, CCMP, and INDU — and this time, it’s not just noise.

• S&P 500 DeMark exhaustion looms as bulls lose momentum—6,225 is the line that flips the script.
• Dow (INDU): Combo 12 of 13 fading MACD—below 44,240 confirms the stall turns into a slip.
• Nasdaq (CCMP): Twin 12s—momentum gone, one more close and the exhaustion sirens go off.
• DAX: Failed breakout and reset to Setup 1—trend is gone, and price looks heavy.
• Euro Stoxx 50 (SX5E): Bearish price flip already in, 5,288 is the tripwire to real downside.
• 10-Year (USGG10YR): TD 11 of 13 with resistance looming—yields may be running on fumes
• Dollar (DXY): Countertrend bounce working a new Setup—Wednesday’s close could be pivotal.
• EURUSD: Post-13 drift continues—1.18 caps it, and 1.16 keeps it from breaking.

Another week, another round of highs — S&P, Nasdaq, Dow all charging as Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill seals the deal.

The tape made its call — and it wasn’t subtle. The unwind we flagged? Done. The bearish setups? Ignored. The bulls own this now — SPX, INDU, CCMP — all ripped through key resistance, flipped structure, and walked the DeMark playbook higher. 

Friday gave us the break. Weak close. Bearish price flips are now active across the U.S. majors — SPX, NDX, even the Dow.

The board’s been flashing red for days — too many 13s to ignore.

The board’s still lit — TD 13s are stacked across the map. SPX, DAX, CCMP, multiple European indices — all showing exhaustion, but the tape won’t crack until the flips confirm.
