Wednesday August 6 2025 SPY SPX ES Actionable Levels

$SPX consolidates and trades lower. Where must $SPY hold to prevent lower retest?

In yesterday's letter, we wrote:

For tomorrow, we're closely watching the key SPX levels of 6360, 6327, and 6293. With today’s move playing out exactly as one of Friday’s outlined scenarios, we want to stay focused on continuation. That means looking for long entries on a dip & defense at 6327 or 6309—or even a direct defense at 6293.

This is what happened. Overnight we dipped to defend the 6327 dip & defend level, pushing us up nearly 20 points. We then witnessed a dip & defense at the 6293 SPX level during the regular session, which allowed us to run 30 points higher and ultimately hold 6293 into the close. The strategy of waiting for these key levels to defend worked effectively, and we managed to capture profits along the way. $SPY ( ▲ 1.07% )  $SPX ( ▲ 1.13% )  $ES_F ( 0.0% )  

See how well the levels work?

Big investors are buying this “unlisted” stock

When the founder who sold his last company to Zillow for $120M starts a new venture, people notice. That’s why the same VCs who backed Uber, Venmo, and eBay also invested in Pacaso.

Disrupting the real estate industry once again, Pacaso’s streamlined platform offers co-ownership of premier properties, revamping the $1.3T vacation home market.

And it works. By handing keys to 2,000+ happy homeowners, Pacaso has already made $110M+ in gross profits in their operating history.

Now, after 41% YoY gross profit growth last year alone, they recently reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

Trading Plan

Today's market was characterized by wide-ranging consolidation, giving back some of the previous day’s gains on higher volume, a signal of increased participation.

Looking ahead, tomorrow we have a 10-year bond auction and at least three FOMC members speaking throughout the day, which may affect market dynamics. Keep an eye out for any market reactions to these events as we navigate through this consolidation phase.

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!

In fact, we’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…
