In yesterday’s letter, I wrote:

For tomorrow, I am closely watching the key SPX levels of 5586, 5570, and 5611.

As long as we stay above 5570, I’m interested in finding long entries, especially at 5586, or even 5593 if we've dipped down to 5586 or 5570 first and reclaimed. Then we can target 5611, 5634…

This is what happened. We didn't need to test lower levels as anticipated; instead, we effectively defended the 5598 level and ran higher. The market showed strength and never really tested the key supports I was watching. I kept waiting for a better long entry, particularly after the last two sessions, but it simply didn’t materialize. The high of the day came in at 5636.27, just above the 5634 target and resistance levels mentioned earlier.

See how well the levels work?

With the market in a strong uptrend, I chose not to short strength, as there wasn't a solid edge to take. It seems like traders are still optimistic, and the lack of major retests has kept the momentum bullish.

No trades were executed today as there was no clear edge in the market. I remained on the sidelines, waiting for a more favorable setup that never came to fruition.

As we move forward, I’ll keep an eye on the levels mentioned earlier and adapt my strategy accordingly based on market reactions and economic indicators.

More in the trade plan below.

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

We didn't need to test lower, defended the 5598 and just ran. I kept waiting for a better long entry but it didn't happen last two sessions. Always trust the levels!

Now we are sitting in AH right above the key 5621 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.

Trading Plan

Overall, we are firmly back in the range from mid to late August. The volume remains decent, indicating continued interest in the market.

Looking ahead to Monday, there isn’t much on the calendar except for the Empire State Manufacturing Index prior to the market open, which could provide some direction or volatility.

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…
