Repost 2 Monday November 18 2024 SPY SPX ES Actionable Levels

$SPX sells off hard on volume. Is this it for $SPY?

In partnership with

In yesterday’s letter, I wrote:

For tomorrow, I am closely watching the key SPX levels of 5929, 5941, and 5954.

If we dip and defend at 5929 or above, I’ll try the long. However, if we fail there, it’s short to 5916 and 5905 first, with 5884 and 5861 possible on volume.

This is what happened. The levels played out beautifully today. Overnight, we lost the critical 5929 level and hit the 5905 level before the market open. After a brief bounce, we fell all the way down to a low of 5853, which was notably below the 5861 key level. However, we were able to reclaim and then defend with a bounce precisely at the 5861 level into the close at 5870.

See how well the levels work?

Now, as we look ahead, what can we expect from here? The significant drop we saw today raises questions about whether we will continue to consolidate lower or if buyers will step in to reclaim higher post-election levels.

For Monday, we have the first day of G20 meetings, along with at least one FOMC member speaking during the trading session. Traders will want to keep an eye on any updates or discussions that could impact market sentiment.

Make sure to stay vigilant as we navigate this market volatility!

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…
