Tuesday October 21 2025 SPY SPX ES Actionable Levels

$SPX hold critical support overnight to run 1% higher. Are fresh ATH's on the docket for $SPY?

In partnership with

In Friday’s letter, we wrote:

For Monday, we’re closely watching the key SPX levels of 6610, 6640, 6663, and 6701. With critical supports holding below, the bias remains tilted toward the long side. We want to buy any dip and defense at 6663 or 6640, or on a direct defense of 6610, and a push above 6687 would also serve as a long trigger. From there, upside targets run through 6701, 6717, 6737”

This is what happened. We identified the dip and defense at the support level of 6663 overnight, and this reacted nicely as we rallied back to the resistance level at 6701 by the market open. In the regular session, we punched through resistance levels at 6717 and 6737, ultimately reaching a high of 6744.35, 80+ points above the 6663 dip & defense support. $SPY ( ▲ 1.04% )  $SPX ( ▲ 1.1% )  $ES_F ( 0.0% )  

See how well the levels work?

Meanwhile, retail investors got crushed on CNBC's "expert" picks.

The uncomfortable truth: Politicians don't just make laws. They make fortunes.

They vote on regulations after shorting affected sectors. They approve budgets after buying defense stocks. They debate policy while holding calls.

It's not illegal. It's just invisible to you.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investing involves risk including possible loss of principal.

Now, as we approach fresh all-time highs, the question is: can we sustain this momentum? What levels must we hold to maintain our bullish outlook?

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

The dip & defense of the critical SPX 6663 level in Sunday futures was a critical long signal that then ran 81 points higher. Always trust the levels.

Trading Plan

Today marked a massive 1% up day, albeit on much lower volume, which could suggest a lack of conviction in this move.

As we look ahead to tomorrow, we have a relatively quiet day on the economic calendar, with just a couple of speeches from FOMC member Waller scheduled throughout the session. It’s essential to remain alert and ready for any potential shifts in market sentiment.

We are receiving some great questions from beginners. This is helping us develop guides for this group as well as the course. More to come but we’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!

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…
