This page is an archive: it collects readings that are already closed and their outcomes, which can be checked against public data. It does not say what to do in any market and does not anticipate future readings.
The readings
Triggered on 14/10/2026 at 14:00 UTC, stop at 16:00 UTC: closed at −1.01R net
Conditional bullish: the 7,777 entry triggers only if price pulls back into the reclaimed H1 demand cluster. Stop 7,741, targets up to 7,844.1, invalidation on an H4 close below 7,750.4 or a D1 close below 7,608.8.
Checked on: ES=F, hourly bars
The instrument
US500 is the price of the S&P 500 index, which gathers five hundred large US-listed companies, quoted in index points. On the engine’s feed it trades almost around the clock, from Sunday 22:00 UTC to Friday 21:00 UTC; the hours of each centre are on the market hours page.
How a reading is checked
Every US500 analysis is checked on CME E-mini S&P 500 futures (ES=F), a public series separate from the engine’s feed. They quote on their own scale: to compare them with the published levels, add the basis stated on the card of every analysis, measured on the last bar before issue.
The full method is on the methodology page.
Terms used in the readings
Band · Liquidity pool · Sweep · Displacement · Drift · Shelf · ATR (average true range)
Every Meridian Engine analysis records direction, entry, stop, targets and invalidation before the move; the outcome is checked afterwards on the public price series named on each card, losses included. Waitlist members receive one or two analyses a week by email, free while on the waitlist.
