Friday October 17 2025 SPY SPX ES Actionable Levels
$SPX bounces overnight but falls in regular session after losing key supports bouncing directly on critical level. Where does $SPY head next?
In yesterday's letter, we wrote:
For tomorrow, we’re closely watching the key SPX levels of 6608, 6648, 6684 and 6707. With supports holding, our bias remains long and we’ll look to buy dips—either on a dip & defense at 6669 or a direct defense at 6648. A clean hold above 6684 overnight would be bullish, opening the door to a break through 6691 and 6707…
Failure of 6648 would put us back into consolidation and a neutral stance, while a decisive break below 6608 would flip us short for a move to 6595.””
This is what happened. Today, the levels we monitored played out exceptionally well. We initially saw a dip and defense at 6669 overnight allowing the market to rally up to our target of 6707. Later in the regular session, we successfully reclaimed the 6684 level, which facilitated another surge to the high of day at 6709.34. However, after losing both 6684 and 6668, the market fell sharply, hitting a low of 6593.99 right at the critical 6595 support before bouncing back to close at 6629. $SPY ( ▲ 0.57% ) $SPX ( ▲ 0.53% ) $ES_F ( 0.0% )
See how well the levels work?

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…
