$SPX Breakdown: Key Levels Lost, Bearish Structure Remains Intact

As posted yesterday, the setup for the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ and $SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust(DIA)$ looked mostly bearish. The central daily levels provided of 7,717 for the SPX, 534 for DIA, and 7,730 for the $E-mini S&P 500 - main 2609(ESmain)$ , were shared to validate the bearish setup if the price stayed below them. The SPX did open below the central daily level (CDL) that sets momentum. When the price stays below it, the structure favors the bearish thesis, and the opening far below it validated the technical setup. Next, the price lost 7,690 and attempted to fill the daily gap, but momentum vanished quickly, flipping the 7,690 defense

5 Lessons from 3 Lines in 1 Chart

$S&P 500(.SPX)$ $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ $NASDAQ 100(NDX)$ $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ $Dow Jones(.DJI)$ $iShares Russell 2000 ETF(IWM)$ The chart below should be studied carefully by every student of the markets. Here's my 5 thoughts from this chart: 1. Investor Behavior: everyone wants to own stocks at the top (when valuations are high), few want to own them at the bottom (when valuations are low). 2. There -is- An Alternative: the 1970’s-1980’s period saw a structural decline in stockmarket valuations (and allocations to stocks) and

The 5-Step Strategy Built for a Bull Market

If you're bullish on the market and want a strategy that focuses more on time in the market than constant trading, this framework is worth studying. It’s built around a simple idea: use long-dated options for upside exposure, gradually shift profits into broad-market assets, and eventually let compounding do more of the work. ① Start With LEAPS 🚀 Focus on strong, large-cap names with long-term growth potential, such as: $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ $Apple(AAPL)$ $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ $Alphabet(GOOG)$ Ins

A Closer Look at $SPY, $SPCX, $NBIS & $AAOI

Hey everyone! 👋 Here are the key levels I'm watching across a few names right now. Some are holding support, while others are approaching levels where the short-term structure could change quickly. 🎯 🟢 $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ — Still Bullish, But This Level Matters $SPY remains bullish and is holding support, but the current VP shelf is critical. If $SPY breaks below that shelf, I’d expect a quick ~1.35% move lower through the price vacuum. For now, the bullish structure remains intact—but this is a level worth watching closely. 👀 🚀 $SpaceX(SPCX)$ — Back at a Short-Term Buy Zone $SPCX is back near a short-term buy zone, with the $130 pivot becoming the key level. If $130 holds, the setup remains

3 Trading Setups to Study: $RNG, $P & $SEDG

Hey everyone! 👋 Here are three setups worth keeping in the trading journal—not just because they worked, but because the price action offers useful lessons that can be studied and repeated. 📚📈 1. $RingCentral(RNG)$ — Post-Earnings Reaction Still Holding 18 sessions in, $RNG still hasn’t violated its 10-MA, even after stalling at roughly 10× ATR% above the 50-MA. The last three sessions have formed a higher low, recovering from the -4.9% pullback on August 14. This is exactly the kind of post-earnings reaction worth saving, studying and reviewing. 🧠 Wire this one into your trader’s muscle memory. 2. $Everpure(P)$ — Stalled at 10× ATR% ⚠️ $P also stalled after reaching roughly 10× ATR% above its 50-MA.

$SPX Leaning Higher: Both Sides of the Trade Printed

$S&P 500(.SPX)$ was leaning higher going into tomorrow. The key question was whether the move would finish the B-wave or mark the start of the next leg higher. A weekly close back above last week's low at 7,717 would suggest the rally had already begun. 🎯 Primary Setup The main bullish signal was the SMT divergence with $NASDAQ 100(NDX)$ holding, supporting the view that $SPX could continue higher from here. The plan was simple: 🟢 Long in the morning 🔴 Short into the close And both setups printed. Both trades cashed. 💰 Sometimes the best trades aren't about predicting every move—they're about having a clear level, a defined bias, and the discipline to act when the setup appears.

Your Turn! Bitcoin!

$iShares Bitcoin Trust(IBIT)$ It's Bitcoin's shorts' turn to get squeezed. This is quite instructive — so what other products out there currently have high short interest? Speaking of which, I saw a large 100,000-contract bearish block trade a few days ago $IBIT 20281215 20.0 PUT$ , with notional volume of roughly $30+ million. Although it hasn't been closed yet, it's currently down 15%. Fortunately, it's a long-dated put, which is more resistant to downward moves — a near-term put would probably be down 50% by now. Bullish call block trades are the 39.5 call and 45 call $IBIT 20260925 39.5 CALL$

$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ I continue to average up my position in $Palantir(PLTR)$ because I'm investing in the long-term AI story, not simply chasing the recent price momentum. Palantir has built a strong position at the intersection of AI, data analytics and enterprise software, with its platforms becoming increasingly important for companies and governments looking to turn AI into real-world applications. For me, the key is that Palantir is not just an AI "story" — it has an established business, recurring customers and a platform that can potentially scale significantly as AI adoption accelerates. Another reason I'm comfortable averaging up is the company's execution. Palantir continues to demonstrate strong demand for its AI cap
