This is what happened. The levels played out exceptionally well today. We had an overnight dip and defense at the critical 6727 support, which propelled us right back up to 6741 as we approached the opening bell. After a brief drop below 6727 during the regular session (another dip & defense of that key level), we surged to a high of day at 6752. $SPY ( ▼ 0.0% )  $SPX ( ▲ 0.0% )  $ES_F ( 0.0% )  

See how well the levels work?

Pelosi Made 178% While Your 401(k) Crashed

Nancy Pelosi: Up 178% on TEM options
Marjorie Taylor Greene: Up 134% on PLTR
Cleo Fields: Up 138% on IREN

Meanwhile, retail investors got crushed on CNBC's "expert" picks.

The uncomfortable truth: Politicians don't just make laws. They make fortunes.

They vote on regulations after shorting affected sectors. They approve budgets after buying defense stocks. They debate policy while holding calls.

It's not illegal. It's just invisible to you.

Where to Invest $100,000 According to Experts

Investors face a dilemma. Headlines everywhere say tariffs and AI hype are distorting public markets.

Now, the S&P is trading at over 30x earnings—a level historically linked to crashes.

And the Fed is lowering rates, potentially adding fuel to the fire.

Bloomberg asked where experts would personally invest $100,000 for their September edition. One surprising answer? Art.

It’s what billionaires like Bezos, Gates, and the Rockefellers have used to diversify for decades.

Why?

• Contemporary art prices have appreciated 11.2% annually on average

• …And with one of the lowest correlations to stocks of any major asset class (Masterworks data, 1995-2024).

• Ultra-high net worth collectors (>$50M) allocated 25% of their portfolios to art on average. (UBS, 2024)

Thanks to the world’s premiere art investing platform, now anyone can access works by legends like Banksy, Basquiat, and Picasso—without needing millions. Want in? Shares in new offerings can sell quickly but…

Trading Plan

Today was characterized by a flat consolidation on low volume, which indicates a period of indecision among traders. This is typical after a strong run-up and could be a healthy sign for continued upward movement.

Looking ahead to tomorrow, the schedule is relatively quiet, with only oil data and an FOMC member speaking near the close. However, keep in mind that Thursday and Friday will bring more action with additional speeches and CPI/PMI data, which could significantly impact market dynamics.

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!

In fact, we’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.
