Ahoy there Trader! ⚓️
It’s Phil…
Well, pop the champagne, sound the victory bells, and maybe slap my thigh and call me Rodger—SPX has finally broken out! The only thing missing is a trumpet fanfare and maybe a ticker-tape parade.
But before we get too carried away, the real question remains—will this breakout hold strong or collapse into another Friday sell-off?
Let’s break it down…
SPX Deeper Dive Analysis:
🎉 The Market Has Moved – But Will It Last?
After days of tedious range-bound trading, SPX finally decided to pick a direction. But if history is anything to go by, we can’t get too comfortable just yet.
🔻 Friday Sell-Off Risk
If the last few weeks are anything to go by, we’ve seen:
- A break higher, only for it to reverse sharply by Friday
- A hard and fast flush that wipes out the week’s gains
- A market that keeps traders on their toes
📉 Bear Trades Expire Today
- My bearish positions are expiring
- We never quite got the drop to range lows
- A last-minute sell-off could help—but I won’t be holding my breath
🔄 What’s Next?
✅ Option 1: Look for a fresh swing trade entry today
✅ Option 2: Sit back, relax, and enjoy a long romantic weekend 😉
📌 Final Takeaway?
The range is finally broken, but we’ve been burned before by Friday sell-offs. Patience is key—there’s always another trade, but a long weekend is also tempting.
Fun Fact:
📢 Did you know? The biggest one-day stock market gain in history happened on March 24, 2020, when the Dow surged 2,113 points.
💡 The Lesson? Even record-breaking rallies can happen after massive crashes. Markets move in cycles—so while sell-offs seem endless, breakouts eventually happen… and vice versa.
Happy Trading,
Phil
