For tomorrow, we're closely watching the key SPX levels of 5837, 5822, 5804, and 5864.

Despite the incredible run we've seen, the trend remains strong, and we want to continue looking for long opportunities. This could come from a dip and defense at 5837 or 5822, or a direct defense at 5804. If we don't get the pullback and instead break out through 5864, that would also be a potential long trigger.

If that breakout plays out, we can target 5882, then 5914”

This is what happened. After an overnight dip that brought us down to dip & defend right at the key 5822 SPX level, we got the CPI bounce and a strong opening rally after a quick dip below the 5850 level, which was an immediate entry point for long trades. We didn’t even wait our usual 15 minutes post-open, and it proved to be the right call as we surged all the way up to a high of 5906.64, just shy of our 5914 target. $SPY ( ▲ 0.66% )  $SPX ( ▲ 0.72% )  $ES_F ( 0.0% )  

See how well the levels work?

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 played out incredibly well as anticipated. We had an overnight drop that brought us down to the 5822 SPX level, which served as our dip and defense point before we rallied on CPI data. After that, the breakout through 5864 propelled us through our upside targets all the way to 5906.64. Always trust the levels.

Now we are sitting in AH right on the key 5880 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.

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…
