In yesterday’s letter, I wrote:

For tomorrow, I am closely watching the key SPX levels of 5737, 5726, and 5747.

If we don’t retest or lose the 5737 level overnight or at the open that would be very bullish to push up through 5747 and 5761.

If we test and defend 5726 directly, that may be another long opportunity. Fail there, and I want to be short for a move to 5711 and 5694. On volume, we could fail at 5678…

This is what happened. The market opened after having an overnight defending the lows and then finally giving way to the 5747 failure after the open after falling short of the breakout point at 5761 with a high at 5757.73. Then falling to a low just above the 5678 level at 5681.28 before bouncing back to close at 5708.

See how well the levels work?

Now, with the market printing an outside day and holding up through the session, what’s the outlook moving forward? What key levels must we keep an eye on to avoid another significant drop?

More in the trade plan below.

Below, we’ll cover the actionable levels, how I played them today and what they mean for the next session.

The levels I mentioned played out well; had we failed to hold 5726, we would have seen a drop to 5681.28, just above the key support level of 5678 that I highlighted in my previous letter. The potential short trade at 5726 would have provided a clear indication of the market's direction, leading to a drop as indicated. Always trust the levels.

Now we are sitting in AH right above the key 5696 support level. What does this mean and where do we go from here? Read below for my trade plan which includes actionable support & resistance levels, outlook for the next session and today’s trade recap.

Trading Plan

We finally got a bit of a dip, albeit a minor one compared to what it could have been, as we defended the lows throughout the day. Volume was highly elevated, which is a critical factor to watch.

Tomorrow, we have the ADP employment report and at least four FOMC members speaking, which could introduce additional volatility into the market. Keep an eye on geopolitical developments, particularly regarding Iran and Israel, as they may influence trading sentiment and market movements.

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!

In fact, I’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, I am closely watching the key SPX levels of…
