SPX tagged the upper Bollinger Band, but there’s been no pulse bar confirmation of a turn – yet.
This means directional conviction is still absent and we’re in pause mode.
No new entries for now – still waiting for either:
A confirmed bullish continuation above 5700, or
A bearish reversal and drop back below 5700.
Patience remains the best trade in these conditions – and the decision to wait for a cleaner entry zone is proving itself yet again.
...Monday brought a key shift – bearish structure flipped to bullish.
A textbook breakout-pullback setup has formed on the 30-min chart, and a daily reversal is pushing us back into the range.
Last week’s bear trades were not rolled, which now looks like a sharp move in hindsight.
During the Fast Forward Mentorship Call, we analysed the GEX flip and intraday call wall, suggesting 5765 could cap the day’s high.
That led me to delay my bull swing entry, hoping for a better pullback level before loading up.
Bullish bias now active, but entries still require precision.
...SPX gapped higher overnight, but landed back at the 5700/5720 call wall.
Bollinger Band pinch confirms tight, sideways market chop.
No change to my bull/bear trigger levels – still waiting for a clean breakout-pullback.
Let the last of my bear swings expire after Friday’s rally messed the setup.
Could’ve rolled them – but sometimes it’s smarter to clear the deck.
This week’s priority? Wait. Don’t rush. Don’t force. Execute only when it’s right.
...SPX is still consolidating—weekly chart shows a narrow range bar.
Boundary levels were adjusted again (sigh), but bull/bear triggers remain unchanged.
A new Bollinger Band pinch suggests tight consolidation continues.
I’m still leaning bearish, with 5600 as a key level to close some open swing trades.
No new setups fired, and the dodge on Monday saved me from a premature bull entry.
No need to force trades—hurry up and wait is the plan.
Same rules: Bullish above 5705, bearish below 5605.
Coffee’s hot, charts are quiet. Onwards.
...SPX is hovering around key levels, but I’m not glued to my screen. Why? Because smart trading isn’t about reacting to every single tick—it’s about executing a plan.
My Trading Philosophy:
✅ I check the charts twice a day—morning and near the close.
✅ No alerts, no chasing, no overreacting—just Pulse Bar notifications.
✅ This keeps my blood pressure low and my profits high.
Market Setup & Key Levels:
✅ Bullish trigger remains at 5705.
✅ Bearish trigger is below 5605.
✅ 5700 is emerging as the real pivot level.
The Plan—No Stress, No Chasing:
✅ If price hits my levels, I execute.
✅ If it doesn’t, I wait.
✅ Because great trades aren’t forced—they come to you.
