What we’re reading:

This is a repost of Thursday’s letter for Monday.

In yesterday’s letter, I wrote:

For tomorrow, I am closely watching the key SPX levels of 5233 & 5203.

If we defend 5233 that could be a long entry..

In either of these situations we would then target higher, ultimately to 5274 post 5254 breakout.

This is what happened. We didn’t need to retest 5233 overnight or in the regular session. We kept rejecting the breakout level of 5254 until the very end of the day when we tried the breakout and hit a high of 5264.85 and then rejected to close precisely at the 5254 breakout level.

See how well the levels work?

Now that we chopped, tried the breakout once and then fell back in line, where do we head from here? What is in store for next week and what key levels point the way?

More in the trade plan below.

The $SPX 0DTE 5285 calls ran from a low of $10 to $90 = 800% gain.

I traded these as called out in the chat from entries at $50 and $30-$35 to $60 unfortunately right after this big spike. Was hoping for continuation that just wasn’t there. More in the trade recap below.

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. Today was a post-move chop day where we didn’t do much until the blast up end of day that we couldn’t hold. Always trust the levels!

Now we are sitting in AH right on the key 5245 support level. What does this all 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

Here is a current check of the daily:

This includes all the way back to 6/29 & all overnight action.

Chopping at the highs of this range.

Quick volume check:

Higher volume than the prior 3 sessions before yesterday. Lower than yesterday’s volume on the flat/chop slight red day. No concerns yet.

Monday we have a fairly light day in terms of reports and scheduled events, just manufacturing PMI during the session.

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 level of…
