Wednesday April 2 2025 SPY SPX ES Actionable Levels

$SPX holds critical levels and bounces higher. How does tariff event move $SPY?

In partnership with

In yesterday's letter, we wrote:

For tomorrow, we're watching the key SPX levels of 5587, 5569, 5553, and 5539.

Bears are still in control, and we need to reclaim much higher for this to change. However, today's move may have marked the recent low pivot for us to turn around. We would still be looking to long any dips below and reclaims of levels above 5539. This is the level that led to the massive sell today and also the level that, once reclaimed, led to a massive rally.

We could long a direct defense of 5539, or a dip & defense at 5553, 5569, or 5587. Then we can shoot up through 5601 to 5613 and 5625. This gives way to 5638, 5650…

This is what happened. After opening lower, we tested down to a low of 5558.52 during the regular session, just above the critical 5553 level. This proved to be a turning point, as we then rallied strongly, breaking through our resistance levels and reaching a high of 5650-precisely (within 57 cents!) at the key target from yesterday’s letter. $SPY ( ▲ 0.63% )  $SPX ( ▲ 0.67% )  $ES_F ( 0.0% )  

See how well the levels work?

Now, with the market showing strength, what levels should we continue to watch? Are we set for further upside or could we see a pullback? What’s in store for tariff day?

More in the trade plan below.

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

The levels were great as we looked for a move higher as we never tested the 5539 key level and we had the great setup long on the turnaround just above 5553, once 5569 cleared it was off to the races. The levels provided clear guidance on where to enter longs and how to manage risk effectively. Always trust the levels.

Now we are sitting in AH right on the key 5635 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 saw a nice .4% move higher on elevated volume, indicating strong buying interest.

As we look ahead, tomorrow brings employment data as well as a tariff event right at the close, accompanied by at least one FOMC member speaking post-close. These events could add volatility and further impact market direction, so keep your positions tight and be prepared for any surprises.

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!

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…
