Wednesday May 7 2025 SPY SPX ES Actionable Levels

$SPX loses key support and dips lower on decent volume. How low could $SPY go before finding footing?

In yesterday's letter, we wrote:

For tomorrow, we're closely watching the key SPX levels of 5636, 5674, and 5712.

If we lose 5636, we want to be short for the move to 5613 and then 5583.

This is what happened. We drifted down overnight, losing the crucial 5636 SPX level. Once the market opened, we quickly dropped to a low of 5586, just above the 5583 target mentioned. After that, we attempted to reclaim the 5636 level but failed to do so, leading to a choppy day that ended with a dip into the close at 5606. It became evident that the loss of 5636 triggered bearish sentiment in the market, and the anticipated moves played out as expected. $SPY ( ▼ 0.84% )  $SPX ( ▼ 0.79% )  $ES_F ( 0.0% )  

See how well the levels work?

Trading Plan

Today was marked by a significant move lower on higher volume than yesterday, setting the stage for tomorrow’s major event: the FOMC federal funds rate statement and press conference. This will likely introduce further volatility into the market, so be prepared for potential swings and fast-moving action.

I am receiving some great questions from beginners. This is helping me develop guides for this group as well as the course. More to come but I’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.

For tomorrow, we’re closely watching the key SPX levels of…
