Friday December 20 2024 SPY SPX ES Actionable Levels
$SPX has major bounce but sells it off. Is $SPY destined for lower?
In yesterday’s letter, we wrote:
For tomorrow, I am closely watching the key SPX levels of 5852, 5833, and 5874.
Longs are risky now, as we need to reclaim much higher for better long opportunities. However, if we head there, we could trade the move up. This would look like 5852 holding and then taking out 5874. In this scenario, 5892 would be on deck, followed by 5913. Final stretch targets are 5935…”
This is what happened. The overnight session proved to be pivotal as we held the critical level of 5852 and reclaimed 5874, setting the stage for a massive rally that took us all the way to a high of 5935.52, right at our first stretch target.
See how well the levels work?

After hitting that high, we entered a period of sideways chop and gradually drifted lower selling off the bounce.
Now that we had the whiplash reaction to FOMC sell-off, the bounce and subsequent sell, what comes next? Will we build a base here or are we destined for lower? What levels guide the way?
More in the trade plan below.
Below, we’ll cover the actionable levels, how I played them today and what they mean for the next session.
Levels were great. Trading futures would have been the ticket overnight with that run, we defended where we had to, took out the 5874 and ran to the target + 52 cents! Always trust the levels.
Now we are sitting in AH right on the key 5873 support level. What does this mean and where do we go from here? Read below for my trade plan which includes actionable support & resistance levels, outlook for the next session and today’s trade recap.

Trading Plan
The big bounce was coupled with very high volume, signaling strong market participation. Tomorrow will be key in determining whether we can hold these gains or if we are destined to move lower.
For tomorrow, keep an eye on at least one FOMC member speaking along with the release of PCE data and consumer sentiment data post-open. These events could further influence market direction and trading strategies.

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, I am closely watching the key SPX levels of…
