Wednesday July 23 2025 SPY SPX ES Actionable Levels

$SPX dips, defends and slowly grinds back up. Is $SPY scared to go higher?

In partnership with

In yesterday’s letter, we wrote:

For tomorrow, we're closely watching the key SPX levels of 6323, 6311, 6300, and 6288.

As long as we continue holding and running this zone north of 6288, we want to keep looking for long entries. Ideally, we don't even test the 6311 support and just break out above 6323—that would be a clear long signal. Otherwise, we’re watching for a dip and defense at 6300 or a direct defense at 6288 to trigger the long.

This is what happened. Overnight, we got the dip & defense of the 6300 key level that had a nice run. Then, post-opening bell we got the dip & defense of 6288 before slowly running to reclaim 6288, 6300 and 6311 to hit a high of 6316. $SPY ( ▲ 0.19% )  $SPX ( ▲ 0.13% )  $ES_F ( 0.0% )  

See how well the levels work?

Trading Plan

Today was another flat day, but this time on higher volume. The market spent the day grinding higher after the dip rather than giving up the rally completely.

Looking ahead, tomorrow brings existing home sales in the morning, though it appears to be a quiet day otherwise. Keep an eye on the overall market sentiment as we navigate these levels.

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…
