Thursday August 14 2025 SPY SPX ES Actionable Levels

$SPX punches into fresh ATH territory. How much more can $SPY run before major retest?

In yesterday’s letter, we wrote:

For tomorrow, we’re closely watching the key SPX levels of 6451, 6439, 6422, and 6395. With the breakout to new all-time highs, our focus is on finding spots to ride the trend while staying mindful that a retest of support levels is eventually likely. We’ll look for long entries above 6395 — this could be off a direct defense at 6395. We also would look to long a dip and defense at 6422. If 6439 holds without being lost, that’s an additional bullish signal. A push through 6451 opens the door to 6463

This is what happened. Overnight had the most bullish of all scenarios as we kept dipping and holding the 6439 level-which set the stage for a rally. We managed to break through the 6463 resistance level, reaching a high of 6480.28 before facing a rejection and consolidating through the day. The earlier guidance served well as we saw a dip and defense at 6451, which then led to a slow grind back up to 6466 and reclaim of the 6463 resistance into the close. $SPY ( ▲ 0.34% )  $SPX ( ▲ 0.32% )  $ES_F ( 0.0% )  

See how well the levels work?

Former Zillow exec targets $1.3T

The top companies target big markets. Like Nvidia growing ~200% in 2024 on AI’s $214B tailwind. That’s why the same VCs behind Uber and Venmo also backed Pacaso. Created by a former Zillow exec, Pacaso’s co-ownership tech transforms a $1.3 trillion market. With $110M+ in gross profit to date, Pacaso just reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

Trading Plan

Today turned out to be a 0.3% rally day, albeit on lower volume.

Tomorrow we have PPI and unemployment data releases prior to the open, along with at least two FOMC members speaking throughout the day. These events may create additional volatility, so it's essential to keep an eye on how the market reacts to these economic indicators and statements.

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 tomorrow, we’re closely watching the key SPX levels of…
