U.S. trade restrictions blamed for the move – but price action warned us first
We were already short before the news hit – chart patterns told the truth
Bearish bias remains under 5400, despite early signs of a Bull Tag ‘n Turn
5000 remains the Wolfe Wave target – still in play
GEX points to 5275 as the pin zone, especially into Friday
ADD still low, suggesting pause or bounce before next leg down
We’re watching for the next bear sub entry – timing it with ADD & GEX clues
...SPX once again delivered a textbook 0-DTE bearish setup.
Entry came from Wednesday’s morning analysis – confirmed live in the Fast Forward Group.
Bias remained bearish below the 5400/5425 zone, with Wolfe Wave targeting 5000.
Trade dithered mid-morning… then roared south.
$3.00 premium collected, $0.30 exit hit early afternoon = 90% ROC.
That’s 3-for-3 on day trades this week with swings still on.
Bear profits flowing, corks popping soon.
SPX tagged 5400/5425 again – and rejected hard… again.
Yesterday’s trade: small day, big win – nailed another clean income swing.
GEX + ADD confirmed resistance, Tag ‘n Turn gave the green light.
Overnight futures dipped below the range – pressure building.
Bonus pattern spotted: possible Wolfe Wave, target near 5000.
I’m staying bearish below 5400, scanning for more bear setups.
5000 becomes the new level to assess a potential bounce… if the market gets there.
...Today’s SPX trade was almost a mirror image of yesterday’s.
Price stalled again at the 5425 GEX Flip – just as mapped in the morning analysis.
Trade was taken live during a 1-to-1 training call – real-time execution, real structure.
Same structure: 0DTE bear spread, premium collected = $3.00, buyback at $0.30.
Exit hit early afternoon – another 90% return, clean and simple.
If you didn’t catch it… let’s talk about why.
...Trump’s tariff “exemption giveaway” triggered another gap-up… but SPX didn’t bite.
5400/5425 rejected again – textbook bearish fade from our pre-watched level.
GEX confirms resistance; ADD remains at bullish extreme, hinting more downside ahead.
Also forming: a rising wedge / consolidation – one of our 6 money-making patterns.
Short-dated expirations still preferred given overnight swing madness.
Futures are dead flat heading into the open – likely means more range, not relief.
Bottom line? Still bearish below 5400. Process > Panic.
...Found the trade live during today’s Fast Forward call.
Setup: Gap into 5400 – a long-watched GEX Flip level.
Confirmed with our “oh and…” analysis extras.
Took a 0DTE bear trade to avoid the volatility whiplash.
$3.00 premium collected, buy back target set at $0.30.
Trade hit target late afternoon – booked a clean 90% return.
Why it worked? Preparation, patience, process.
