Monday May 20 2024 SPY SPX ES Actionable Levels

$SPX fills out the range. When is first retracement for $SPY?

There seems to be some confusion as to the premium subscription and the discord chat. If you are premium and you do not have access to the “Premium Members Only” channels including “members-only” please authenticate yourself in the “bot-request-premium” chat. Or send me a DM in the discord!

Also - if you missed it - join our chat during market hours for premium subscribers. We are now leveraging discord for this. Link is at the very bottom of premium content: Trading Plan section below.

Reminder - I will never direct message you and ask you to trade with me or deposit money into an account. Even if it looks like me it is a scam. I wish I had ways to prevent those on social networks impersonating me. All I have is this letter which the premium subscription-only through beehiiv, opens up the discord.

In yesterday’s letter, I wrote:

If we chop, it is likely above 5277 and below 5326 or so.

This is what happened. Overnight we held the 5294 level and then tested it for a small rally. Then we chopped during the session above and below (low of 5283.59), never breaching the key levels listed above with no clear direction.

See how well the levels work?

Now that we’ve had a day of light volume and filling out this range, where do we head from here? Will we have the first major retracement next week and where must we hold on this test?

More in the trade plan below.

It was a rare no-trade day for me.

Below, we’ll cover the actionable levels, how I played them today and what they mean for the next session.

Levels from the prior letter were fine. Not breaching above or below the critical levels means we chopped. To the right means no trade for me. Always trust the levels!

Now we are sitting in AH right above the key 5300 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.

Monday we have at least 5 different FOMC members speaking. Wow.

I am receiving some great questions from beginners. This is helping me develop guides for this group as well as the course. More to come but I’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, I’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.

For Monday, I am closely watching the key SPX levels of…
