Market Context & Key Levels for the Day Ahead
— For new subscribers
The yellow levels highlighted at the bottom left of the chart are the primary intraday levels I focus on. To avoid impulsive decisions at poor trade locations, I follow a simple but effective rule: exercise caution when initiating trades outside of these yellow levels.
This means I’m cautious about chasing longs above the Final Upside Target (FUT) and shorts below the Final Downside Target (FDT). It’s important to understand that not chasing does not imply initiating a trade in the opposite direction — discipline over impulse.
Be sure to review the Weekly Plan for a broader perspective, key levels, and market expectations for the week ahead.
Contextual Analysis & Plan
Heads up: Experiencing some technical issues today, so it will be levels only. Should be resolved by tomorrow. Thank you for your understanding.
Intraday strength would be indicated by a reclaim of 6636, while weakness would be signaled by a break and hold below 6586.
Levels of Interest
Going into tomorrow’s session, I’ll closely observe the behavior around 6611.
Break and hold above 6611 would target 6636 / 6658 / 6692
Holding below 6611 would target 6586 / 6544 / 6511
Additionally, pay attention to the following VIX levels: 29.08 and 24.82. These levels can provide confirmation of strength or weakness.
Break and hold above 6692 with VIX below 24.82 would confirm strength.
Break and hold below 6511 with VIX above 29.08 would confirm weakness.
Overall, it's important to exercise caution when trading outside of the highlighted yellow levels. A non-cooperative VIX may suggest possible reversals i.e trade setups.
Thanks smash, God speed on the tech fix.
