In Wednesday's letter, we wrote:

This is what happened. The market showed resilience today despite the choppy consolidation. As anticipated, we held these critical supports, allowing us to maintain a bullish bias. The high of the day reached 6945.77, right at our 6946 resistance target, where we saw a rejection before a minor dip. $SPY ( ▼ 0.01% )  $SPX ( ▼ 0.03% )  $ES_F ( 0.0% )  

See how well the levels work?

Investors see ANOTHER return on Masterworks (!!!)

That’s 3 sales this quarter. 26 sales total. 

And the performance?

14.6%, 17.6%, and 17.8% → The three most representative annualized net returns.
(See all 26 at Masterworks.com)

Masterworks is the biggest platform for investing in an asset class that hasn’t moved in lockstep with the S&P 500 since ‘95.

In fact, the market segment they target outpaced the S&P overall in that time frame.*

Not private equity or real estate… It’s contemporary and post war art. Crazy, right? 

Masterworks investors are typically high net worth, but the point is that you don’t need to be a capital-B BILLIONAIRE to invest in high-caliber art anymore.

Banksy. Basquiat. Picasso and more. 

80+ of the world’s most attractive artists have been featured.

• 511+ artworks offered

• $67.5mm paid out as of December 2025

• $2.3mm+ average offering size

Trading Plan

While today’s price action was flat, it is important to recognize the lower holiday volume, which often results in quieter market dynamics. This consolidation phase could set the stage for a more significant move as we head into next week.

Looking ahead, we have pending home sales data scheduled for Monday, which could cause some market fluctuations. However, the main event will be the FOMC meeting minutes release on Tuesday, which will likely draw significant attention from traders and investors alike.

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 can not 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.
