Friday April 25 2025 SPY SPX ES Actionable Levels

$SPX continues its monster run. When & where is next $SPY pullback?

In yesterday’s letter, we wrote:

For tomorrow, we're closely watching the key SPX levels of 5353, 5330, 5384, and 5468. If tomorrow mirrors today's price action, we’re likely in for some consolidation after a massive rally—but the trend is now firmly higher, and that’s where our focus stays. Even if we dip before climbing again, the key is to trust the trend and look for solid long setups on defenses of key levels.

We would look to long a dip and defense at 5353 or a direct defense at 5330. That setup should give us the momentum to push back through 5366 and re-enter today’s upper range, with 5371 and 5384 the first areas to reclaim. If we push through 5384, we can target 5411 and then 5434. All of this builds toward the key hurdle at 5468, which we failed to take out today—but if we do clear it, we should see an explosive move higher to 5495

This is what happened. Overnight, we dipped just below the dip & defense (to long) at 5353 before roaring higher. Once we opened above the critical 5371 level, the momentum carried us through all the upside targets, culminating in a high of 5489.4—right below our target of 5495. $SPY ( ▲ 2.11% )  $SPX ( ▲ 2.03% )  $ES_F ( 0.0% )  

See how well the levels work?

Trading Plan

Today was another monster day with a 2% increase, but it was on lower volume, which raises some concerns. We will need to monitor price action closely tomorrow to confirm that this shift in momentum is sustainable in light of the reduced participation.

Tomorrow, we have consumer sentiment and inflation expectations being released post-open, which could further impact market dynamics.

I am receiving some great questions from beginners. This is helping me develop guides for this group as well as the course. More to come but I’ve created a separate channel in the discord just so you can not be shy about bringing those questions to the group. No question is dumb, we grow stronger together!

In fact, I’ve created this single resource as a guide. It is a living document and we will continue updating it. You must be logged into the site to read it:

As readers know trading after a massive move in either direction is risky.

Trying to predict when trend will break is a fool’s game because the trend can be stronger than you ever realize.

Going with the trend is hard because it has already run so far (or dropped) and move may be close to over.

All you can do is pick your entries carefully and with proper position sizing. Trading out 1-3 DTE or further also helps soften the blow.

Yes it will decrease the amount of profit but will greatly help keep you in a trade long enough to see return.

For tomorrow, we’re closely watching the key SPX levels of…
