Tuesday February 18 2025 SPY SPX ES Actionable Levels

$SPX brushes right against all time high and stalls out. Where does $SPY head Tuesday?

In yesterday’s letter, we wrote:

For tomorrow, we’re closely watching the key SPX levels of 6106, 6094, and 6068.

We want to continue to find entries long. This may be a dip and defense at 6106 or 6094. If we lose 6094, you could try the short through 6082 and 6068, but if we defend either of those, we want to be long again.

From there, we can push up through 6124.

This is what happened. The levels played out tremendously well as we held the 6094 SPX level overnight and then rocketed all the way up to a high of 6127.47, just shy of fresh all-time highs, but we encountered a failed breakout above the critical 6124 level to close at 6114.

See how well the levels work?

Trading Plan

As for future trading, today was characterized by a tight range doji candle on lower Friday volume.

Looking ahead, Monday is a holiday, but that doesn’t stop two FOMC members from speaking. On Tuesday, we have manufacturing and housing data releases, along with another FOMC member speaking during the trading session. Wednesday will bring the FOMC minutes from the last meeting, which could serve as a potential volatility event.

Overall, the market is positioned for potential movement in the coming days, especially with several key economic indicators and Fed commentary on the horizon. Stay alert and prepared for trading opportunities.

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