If SPX Rallies Here… I’m Hitting the Sell Button Hard | SPX Analysis 14 Mar 2025

SPX continues its lazy, stair-step descent, but history suggests a short bounce before the next leg lower.

What’s Happening Now?
✅ Last time, SPX pushed lower, popped up, then dropped again.
✅ Gamma Exposure levels show 5500/5520 acting as price magnets.
✅ 5550 could be a key resistance level before another drop.

How I’m Trading It:
✅ Delaying bullish trades until we clear 5700.
✅ Watching for bearish reversal setups near 5550.
✅ Targeting 5500/5520 for a potential low-of-day move.

What’s Next?
✅ Bearish swings are starting to unload—profits locked in.
✅ Will reposition if tranches hit target exits or new setups appear.
✅ If nothing compelling develops, I’m clocking out early—time for saxophones, zoo visits, and a St. Patrick’s Day pint.
