$SPX defends precisely at must hold level overnight and rallies 55 points. Then we take out key resistance EXACT prior to Powell lighting $SPY rocket ship.

In yesterday’s letter, we wrote:

For tomorrow, we’re closely watching the key SPX levels of 6346, 6370, 6383, and 6396. The market continues to fill out this developing range, and the plan is to look for long entries off a direct defense at 6346 or a dip & defense at 6370. If these levels hold, we can push through 6383—the key level from today—and target 6396. A clear breakout above 6396 would be very bullish, opening the door to 6409 and 6426. If momentum builds, we can stretch to 6450, 6462, 6473.

If, however, 6346 is lost…

This is what happened. We witnessed an impressive dip & defense overnight at the key level of 6346 EXACT (at 6364 /ES), which not only held but also set the stage for a 55+ rally even before the market opened. During the regular trading session, we successfully held 6396 (EXACT) after pushing through it and retesting the level precisely when the 10 AM speech got published. This led to a remarkable run of another 83 points, bringing us nearly to fresh all-time highs. $SPY ( ▲ 1.54% )  $SPX ( ▲ 1.52% )  $ES_F ( 0.0% )

Former Zillow exec targets $1.3T

The top companies target big markets. Like Nvidia growing ~200% in 2024 on AI’s $214B tailwind. That’s why the same VCs behind Uber and Venmo also backed Pacaso. Created by a former Zillow exec, Pacaso’s co-ownership tech transforms a $1.3 trillion market. With $110M+ in gross profit to date, Pacaso just reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

Trading Plan

Today marked a substantial 1.5% increase on higher volume, especially for a Friday.

For Monday, keep an eye on new home sales and the speeches from two FOMC members, which will occur near the close and after the regular session. These events could add volatility, so it's crucial to remain vigilant and prepared for any market reactions.

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