Tuesday March 18 2025 SPY SPX ES Actionable Levels

$SPX bounces directly off key level overnight and rallies higher. Is the sell off over? Not so fast!

In yesterday’s letter, we wrote:

For tomorrow, we're closely watching the key SPX levels of 5616, 5601, 5562, and 5696.

Bulls put in their defense on Friday, but it's on thin ice until we clear higher levels. As long as we continue to hold 5601—and ideally 5616—we can maintain the bounce higher. This could look like longing a dip and defense at 5616 or a direct defense at 5601, or taking a breakout above 5634/5647.

From there, we can target 5659, 5671, 5684, and 5696.

This is what happened. The market opened strong, and we stayed above the critical levels. We waited all day for the long trade to develop. We finally got our shot and traded the long off a breakout of 5659—a move I posted in the chat—and it turned out to be the best long entry of the day as we surged up to a high of 5703.52, marking a significant gain for the session. Levels played out tremendously as we never had to test lower than the 5634 dip and defense during the regular session. Overnight, we had already run higher, successfully testing and defending the key 5601.

See how well the levels work?

Now that we’ve reached these new heights, what’s next? Will we see further consolidation or a continuation of this bullish move? What levels will be important to watch in the coming days?

More in the trade plan below.

Today we traded long off a breakout of 5659-posted this in the chat and it was the best long entry of the day as we ran all the way up 44 points to the high of the day at 5703.52.

Below, we’ll cover the actionable levels, how we played them today and what they mean for the next session.

Levels played out great. Once we defended 5601 overnight, it was clear we could capitalize on the bullish momentum. Today we chopped before finding stride again but we never tested the levels below and the long trade was still on. Always trust the levels.

Now we are sitting in AH right on the key 5673 support level. What does this mean and where do we go from here? Read below for our trade plan which includes actionable support & resistance levels, outlook for the next session and today’s trade recap.

Trading Plan

Today was a monster move higher—over 1% gain that ended around 3/4%. The volume was higher or comparable to the prior four sessions, indicating robust buying activity. This rally demonstrates a strong rebound from longs who faced challenges last week.

Tomorrow, we have building and housing data prior to the open, which could influence market sentiment. Then, all eyes will be on Wednesday for the FOMC rate decision and the subsequent statement and presser. These events could introduce significant volatility and trading opportunities, so remain vigilant!

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