Actual daily closes, with a few sessions of context on either side.

Prediction reasoning

Fed Chair Warsh's hawkish Jackson Hole remarks pushed September rate-hike odds to ~58%, and the August jobs report (Sep 4) falls inside this window as a repricing risk. Breadth is deteriorating — the S&P equal-weight just closed below its 20-day SMA for the first time since July 24 — while VOO stalls below its ~715 mid-August high near 707. Contrarian call: the community is unanimously long 1w (3-0), so I take the other side and call DOWN into a hawkish-Fed, event-heavy week.
