Friday August 22 2025 SPY SPX ES Actionable Levels
$SPX chops, drops and rolls. With key Jackson Hole Powell speech - where must $SPY reclaim to prevent major sell?
In yesterday’s letter, we wrote:
For tomorrow, we’re closely watching the key SPX levels of 6383, 6359, 6410, and 6451. Until higher levels are reclaimed, we remain cautious and view the action as simply filling out a new range. If 6383 holds, or we quickly reclaim it after a dip, we can look for upside toward 6410.
If we lose 6383, however, then it’s still short bias with targets at 6359…”
This is what happened. The levels played out as expected, with a significant failure at 6383 leading to a drop of 20 points overnight. In the regular session, we failed to defend 6383 yet again, which resulted in a loss of 30 points. Ultimately, we were unable to reclaim this critical level as we approached the close of the trading day. $SPY ( ▼ 0.4% ) $SPX ( ▼ 0.43% ) $ES_F ( 0.0% )
See how well the levels work?

Former Zillow exec targets $1.3T market
The wealthiest companies tend to target the biggest markets. For example, NVIDIA skyrocketed nearly 200% higher in the last year with the $214B AI market’s tailwind.
That’s why investors are so excited about Pacaso.
Created by a former Zillow exec, Pacaso brings co-ownership to a $1.3 trillion real estate market. And by handing keys to 2,000+ happy homeowners, they’ve made $110M+ in gross profit to date. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.
No wonder the same VCs behind Uber, Venmo, and eBay also invested in Pacaso. And for just $2.90/share, you can join them as an early-stage Pacaso investor today.

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…
