$SPX defends key support and continues the march upward. Are fresh ATH's on the horizon for $SPY?

In yesterday’s letter, we wrote:

For tomorrow, we’re closely watching the key SPX levels of 6801, 6840, 6872 and 6904, and as long as we continue defending critical supports our bias remains to the upside following the macro trend. Optimal long entries include a dip & defense at 6872…Clearing 6881 would pave the way for 6904 and 6921, with a sustained breakout unlocking 6936, 6947, 6959, 6975

This is what happened. The levels played out excellently today as we managed to hold the key 6881 support overnight, which served as a springboard for a significant rally. After defending this level, we ran right up to our target of 6904 even before the market officially opened. Breaking through this resistance at the open set the stage for a remarkable continuation upwards through 6921, 6936 through 6959, with the SPX reaching as high as 6969.42, just shy of our upper resistance targets. $SPY ( ▲ 1.22% )  $SPX ( ▲ 1.18% )  $ES_F ( ▲ 1.18% )  

See how well the levels work?

This billionaire strategy beat the S&P 500 by 3.1x from 2017-2025. Here's how to get in.

That’s not by picking the right stock or timing the market. It’s by holding three real asset classes in one strategy.

It’s anchored by an investment typically exclusive to billionaires.

Could be good timing too–

Bloomberg's Marcus Ashworth recently wrote, there’s "no more reliable safe havens."

The S&P, while hovering over 5 year highs, fell over 7% from the February peak. Bonds might carry less risk but they are barely keeping pace with inflation.

The things supposed to protect your portfolio started moving together.

Meanwhile, the world's wealthiest have been setting records in postwar and contemporary art.

After the dot-com bust, it grew roughly 24% annually for a decade. After 2008, roughly 11% annually for 12 years.

It trades globally in multiple currencies, has scarce supply, and has shown near-zero correlation to equities since 1995.*

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…
