In yesterday’s letter, we wrote:

This is what happened. We witnessed a strong defense of 6434 overnight with a decent bounce, but once it was lost during the regular session, the inability to reclaim it led to a drop through our downside targets, hitting a low of 6400.22 before a bounce into the close, settling right at the 6412 level. $SPY ( ▲ 0.57% )  $SPX ( ▲ 0.59% )  $ES_F ( 0.0% )

Former Zillow exec targets $1.3T

The top companies target big markets. Like Nvidia growing ~200% in 2024 on AI’s $214B tailwind. That’s why the same VCs behind Uber and Venmo also backed Pacaso. Created by a former Zillow exec, Pacaso’s co-ownership tech transforms a $1.3 trillion market. With $110M+ in gross profit to date, Pacaso just reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

Trading Plan

Today we experienced a decent drop of 0.6% on higher volume, indicating some selling pressure in the market.

Looking ahead, tomorrow's agenda includes the FOMC meeting minutes in the afternoon and at least two FOMC members speaking during the regular session. This will set the stage for Jackson Hole and Friday's all-important Powell speech, which could greatly influence market sentiment moving forward. It's crucial to stay vigilant as we navigate through these pivotal events.

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.
