What we’re reading:

In yesterday’s letter, I wrote:

For tomorrow, I am closely watching the key SPX levels of 5068 and 5049.

Ultimately, for the long case we need to reclaim the 5085 lost today…

Once 5085 is reclaimed we can target 5106, 5125.

This is what happened. We did not need to retest lower overnight and ultimately reclaimed the 5085 level. This set us up well for the long in the regular session after a dip (that did not lose the key level). Then we rallied all the way to a high of 5127.97 (just above the 5125 level noted above) and then chopped/sold rest of the day.

See how well the levels work?

Now that we defended yesterday’s sell off by reclaiming the key level, where do we go from here? Was the afternoon sell significant and what critical levels are must hold?

More in the trade plan below.

The $SPY 2DTE 511 calls ran from a low of $157 to $313 = 99% gain.

I traded these called out in the chat from $200 to $273 for 37%. This was my only trade. I did want to long later in the day when we defended the 5090-5094 area a couple times but I restrained myself! 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 mighty fine. When we reclaimed the key level that we lost yesterday overnight, it was all about finding a good long entry in the regular session. We did so after awaiting the dip to be complete and away we went. Then, volume came in the afternoon and chopped us around but we defended the lows. Always trust the levels!

Now we are sitting in AH right on the key 5105 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.

We are right back into the range from last Friday’s breakout. It likely will be choppy as we continue filling this out but we at least know our range and can see when we breakout or break down from it.

Quick volume check:

Nice higher than yesterday’s sell volume on this rally day.

Tomorrow has more unemployment data, Powell testifying again (more of the same) and another Fed Member speech.

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 tomorrow, I am closely watching the key SPX level of…
