This is what happened. The levels played out incredibly well today. After holding the critical support of 7447 overnight, the market surged past 7460, continuing its upward momentum. We reached our key targets of 7474 and 7493 before hitting the final upside target of 7519, with a high of day recorded at 7517.12. $SPY ( ▲ 0.79% )  $SPX ( ▲ 0.77% )  $ES_F ( 0.0% )  

See how well the levels work?

65% of All S&P Returns Since 2022 Have Come From 42 Stocks. Now What?

JPMorgan's Michael Cembalest published the data. 65% of S&P returns since 2022 came from 42 AI-linked companies. If you're in an index fund, you're not exactly diversified - that data suggests you're concentrated in a small basket of tech stocks.

Morgan Stanley's Lisa Shalett flagged another potential problem: stocks and bonds are moving together recently. The 60/40 hedge isn't working the way it used to. Her fix? Up to 25% in alternatives.

It wasn’t mentioned directly by Shalett, but one alternative has shown near-zero correlation to the S&P since 1995. Different market. Different buyers. Different timing.

Trading Plan

Today’s market witnessed a significant 0.75% gain, pushing us to new all-time highs.

As we look toward tomorrow, we have a lighter economic calendar, but we will keep an eye on some manufacturing data. Additionally, any developments from China or Iran could impact market sentiment, so stay alert and be ready to adapt accordingly.

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

In fact, we’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.
