Ahoy there Trader! ⚓️
It’s Phil…
If last week felt like the market had food poisoning…
Today looks like it found a dodgy kebab behind the sofa.
Friday was chaos.
Monday’s futures? Down 200+ points and counting.
Panic? Everywhere.
Volatility? Spiking like it just heard Powell say “transitory” again.
And me?
Grinning. Swing trades firing. Targets hit. Bears eating.
📉 SPX’s story is only half the plot.
You’ve seen the SPX, but you’re missing the macro moves, crypto chaos, and the real reason gold’s stealing the spotlight..

🐾 From Friday Puke to Monday Profits
Let’s trace the beautiful mess:
📍 Thursday: Fever Rising
Markets looked shaky.
Sentiment soured.
But the setup was already clear – bear flags forming, GEX levels loaded, rallies fading fast.
📉 Friday: Puke City
Markets dropped hard.
My first bear swing target? Smashed.
Momentum didn’t just fade – it faceplanted.
By the end of the session, price was accelerating downward, with every rally attempt getting slapped.
🌙 Sunday Night: Futures Panic
As of writing, futures are down 200+ points.
Traders waking up to find their “buy-the-dip” thesis crying in the bathtub.
And me?
Looking at target 2 like a kid staring at a second helping of dessert.
🐻 Trade Gameplan: Stay Savage, Stay Structured
✔️ I remain bearish until proven otherwise
✔️ Still hunting add-ins on intraday pullbacks
✔️ Using lower timeframe pulse bars and Tag ‘n Turn setups for fast entries
✔️ Selling rallies until 5700 becomes a rumour from the past
The 4900/4850 zone could cause a bounce – maybe even a dead cat with Olympic hops.
But until that shows clear structure, I’ll treat any bounce as a selling opportunity.
🎯 Expert Insights: Don't Flinch Into FOMO
Common Trading Mistake:
Freaking out when the market dumps and chasing long too soon out of boredom or FOMO.
Fix:
Stay with your plan.
Only switch bias if your system says so – not because Twitter is screaming “Oversold!!!”
If you’re structured, you’re profiting.
If you’re guessing, you’re the liquidity.
Fun Fact
During the 2020 COVID crash, SPX dropped 113 points in a single day and everyone screamed “Unprecedented!”
Today’s futures are gapping 200+ points…
But thanks to the rise of 0-DTEs and gamma traps, modern markets puke faster than ever before.
This isn’t panic – this is accelerated digestion.
Happy Trading,
Phil
