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.

SPX’s bullish breakout was short-lived, and price has fallen back into the range, forming a bear flag ahead of today’s FOMC event.

Market Setup & Key Levels:
✅ Bullish case is weakening—staying cautious until 5705 breaks.
✅ 5605 is my active bear trigger.
✅ Tight price coil suggests a breakout could be coming.
✅ FOMC at 2PM could be the catalyst for the next big move.

How I’m Trading It:
✅ Remaining bearish/neutral below 5635 (range high).
✅ Waiting for confirmation before taking new positions.
✅ If price holds under 5605, I’ll lean bearish.

Bottom Line:
✅ FOMC could be the match that lights the next fire.
✅ For now, I wait—let the market tip its hand first.

After taking an extra-long weekend, I’m back at the charts and catching up on the latest move.

Market Setup & Key Levels:
✅ SPX has broken out of the range, testing bullish momentum.
✅ My bull trigger is set at 5705.
✅ My bear trigger is a move back below 5625.
✅ Larger timeframe suggests a breakout-pullback—failure could send us to 5255.

How I’m Trading It:
✅ Waiting for market open to execute based on my triggers.
✅ Not rushing—taking the best setup when it presents itself.
✅ If we roll back into the range, I’ll be ready to flip bearish.

Bottom Line:
✅ Levels are set, plans are in place—now it’s time to execute.

SPX is stuck in a familiar grind, bouncing between levels, teasing both bullish and bearish scenarios.

Market Setup & Key Levels:
✅ A bullish move is possible but only above 5650.
✅ Until then, I’m favoring the continuation of the bear swing.
✅ Friday’s rally pushed SPX to the upper range, but futures suggest weakness.

My Trade Plan:
✅ Delaying bullish entries unless we break 5650 with conviction.
✅ Monitoring a potential drop towards 5550/5500—ideal for my open bear swing.
✅ Rolled some experimental Friday GEX trades, given I’ll be away Monday.

Looking Ahead:
✅ If SPX pushes lower, exits will trigger, locking in profits.
✅ If we break out, bullish trades likely won’t need action until Tuesday.
✅ For now, my Guinness is poured, my exits are set, and I’ll check in from St. Paddy’s celebrations.

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.

SPX continues its stair-step movement, following a bearish Darvas box pattern.

Market Breakdown:
✅ SPX moves down, pauses, moves down again—rinse and repeat.
✅ 5650 remains solid resistance, confirmed by Gamma Exposure levels.
✅ 5700 is the key level before considering any bullish plays.
✅ Bearish targets remain at 5255 if the breakdown continues.

Trade Execution:
✅ Live zero-day trade during Fast Forward Mentorship call.
✅ Perfect execution—expired at max profit by day’s end.

Next Steps:
✅ Watching for bearish entries, pulse bars, and breakouts.
✅ Staying patient—waiting for the market to give the next move.

Viva la profits!
