Watch the video below to find out how to seek confirmation for the path to stock market capitulation, the potential price target for S&P 500 and at what point could the bearish scenario be violated using Wyckoff trading method.

The bullish setup vs. the bearish setup is 341 to 80 from the screenshot of my stock screener below.
