What do Nvidia and Amazon have in common?

This is a paid advertisement for Miso Robotics’ Regulation A offering. Please read the offering circular at invest.misorobotics.com.

Well, other than trillion-dollar market caps. Both Nvidia and Amazon chose to collaborate with Miso. Miso’s the leader in AI-powered kitchen robots. That’s why Nvidia offered Miso its premier AI vision tech, and Amazon handpicked Miso to partner and use its RoboMaker simulation environment. Now, Miso launched their first commercial AI-powered robot, and it sold out in seven days. On the back of that success, they’re focused on scaling to 170+ US fast food brands in need.

In yesterday's letter, I wrote:

For tomorrow, I am closely watching the key SPX levels of 5791, 5779, and 5830.

If we can defend at 5805, or even 5791, this is the best-case scenario for bulls, as we can rally back up towards 5815/5830 and start making progress. …then we can push up through 5830 to 5847

This is what happened. The market opened strong, defending just above the 5805 level as indicated, and we saw a strong move all the way up to a high of 5846.52, just a few pennies shy of the 5847 key level I had pointed out. The bulls took control as we pushed through the resistance levels, and the trading day played out as anticipated, with the defense of critical support levels leading to a rally.

See how well the levels work?

Now that we have regained some ground, what’s next? With the strong defense today, should we be looking for further continuation? What critical levels are must hold and targets above that will point the way?

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.

The levels played out beautifully, confirming the defense above 5805 and leading to the strong upward movement we saw throughout the session. Always trust the levels.

Now we are sitting in AH right on the key 5834 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

We witnessed nice defense and recovery of the lows of the range today on the daily chart, but it came on much lower volume.

Tomorrow brings retail sales and unemployment figures, which are crucial economic indicators that could influence market direction. Keep an eye on these reports as they may create volatility or provide further clarity on the market's next moves.

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 levels of…
