Wednesday December 17 2025 SPY SPX ES Actionable Levels
$SPX loses critical support and plummets only to bounce back swiftly into the close. Where must $SPY defend tomorrow?
In yesterday's letter, we wrote:
For tomorrow, we’re closely watching the key SPX levels of 6796, 6807, 6818, and 6829. If we lose 6796, however, we would flip to shorts targeting 6781 and 6765, and failure to hold those levels could accelerate selling into 6754”
This is what happened. Today’s market activity was dominated by a significant drop following our critical level of 6796 being breached. After the loss, we faced multiple rejections from that level, which ultimately led to a downward slide toward our downside targets, with the SPX hitting a low of 6759.74—just above our key target of 6754. However, the day did not end without a fight. We managed to pivot from those lows and reclaim the 6796 level into the close, setting the stage for a potential rally as we move into tomorrow’s trading session. $SPY ( ▼ 0.2% ) $SPX ( ▼ 0.24% ) $ES_F ( 0.0% )
See how well the levels work?
Wall Street Isn’t Warning You, But This Chart Might
Vanguard just projected public markets may return only 5% annually over the next decade. In a 2024 report, Goldman Sachs forecasted the S&P 500 may return just 3% annually for the same time frame—stats that put current valuations in the 7th percentile of history.
Translation? The gains we’ve seen over the past few years might not continue for quite a while.
Meanwhile, another asset class—almost entirely uncorrelated to the S&P 500 historically—has overall outpaced it for decades (1995-2024), according to Masterworks data.
Masterworks lets everyday investors invest in shares of multimillion-dollar artworks by legends like Banksy, Basquiat, and Picasso.
And they’re not just buying. They’re exiting—with net annualized returns like 17.6%, 17.8%, and 21.5% among their 23 sales.*
Wall Street won’t talk about this. But the wealthy already are. Shares in new offerings can sell quickly but…

Trading Plan
Today’s session showcased a wide-ranging consolidation pattern, indicated by higher volume, which suggests increased participation from market players.
As we look ahead, tomorrow will be pivotal with at least three FOMC members scheduled to speak throughout the day, alongside an evening address from President Trump, both of which could influence market sentiment significantly.
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…
