Tuesday December 17 2024 SPY SPX ES Actionable Levels
$SPX bounces back. Is $SPY about to break out?
In Friday’s letter, we wrote:
For Monday, I am closely watching the key SPX levels of 6025, 6044, and 6098.
Ultimately, we need to hold 6025 to have a shot at basing and taking out 6044 first, then 6063 and 6079 next.
If we chop, it is likely above 6025 and below 6098/6063.”
This is what happened. The levels played out quite effectively today. We managed to reclaim 6044 which acted as a springboard taking us up to the target of 6063. We defended right off this level in the morning, and it set the tone for a strong rally that propelled us all the way up to a high of 6085.19.
See how well the levels work?
Over the last seven elections, this asset class has outpaced the S&P 500
Instead of trying to predict which party will win, and where to invest afterwards, why not invest in an ‘election-proof’ alternative asset? The sector is currently in a softer cycle, but over the last seven elections (1995-2023) blue-chip contemporary art has outpaced the S&P 500 by 64% even despite the recent dip, regardless of the victors, and we have conviction it will rebound to these levels long-term.
Now, thanks to Masterworks’ art investing platform, you can easily diversify into this asset class without needing millions or art expertise, alongside 65,000+ other art investors. From their 23 exits so far, Masterworks investors have realized representative annualized net returns like +17.6%, +17.8%, and +21.5% (among assets held longer than one year), even despite a recent dip in the art market.*

The market showed a clear bullish sentiment as we moved through the targets outlined, ultimately reflecting a strong upward momentum.
Now that we bounced back near the highs of this range, where do we go from here? More chop ahead, or breakout incoming? Where must we hold to keep that intact?

Below, we’ll cover the actionable levels, how I played them today and what they mean for the next session.
Levels were good. We had the 6044 reclaim that took us up to target 6063 which we defended right off of in the morning and then rallied all the way up through 6079 to 6085.19. Always trust the levels.
Now we are sitting in AH right on the key 6069 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
Currently, we have experienced a nice move higher on very solid volume, just shy of Friday's massive performance. This suggests that there is still strong participation in the market.
Tomorrow, we have retail sales data scheduled for release in the morning which could provide further direction. It's important to keep an eye on these economic indicators as they can have a significant impact on market sentiment and trading behavior.
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.
