Technical Analysis
SPX Outlook & Key Levels
We gave 6009 as the pivot for the last couple of months and warned that if we broke below, it that we would sell towards 5638. We just completed this move so now we have a new pivot of 5638.
📊 Key Levels: 5638, 5873, 6009
Above 5638 (higher likelihood) → Oversold/relief rally back to red line at 5873 and overshoot back to 5920, 6009.
Below 5638 → Breakdown that takes us down into 5551
🔹 Bullish Setup: Longs against 5638 for a relief bounce move to 5873, 5920+.
🔻 Bearish Setup: Shorts against 5638 for a breakdown toward 5551
QQQ & IWM
No change in outlook—continuing the same setup given months ago.
QQQ: > 494 Pivot trigger for upside. bounce back to 503 likely.
< 480 = more downside to 472, 463
IWM: > 210 pivot trigger for upside bounce back to 216 likely.
< 200 = more downside towards 193
Trade Ideas: Stocks to Watch
Tesla (TSLA): TSLA election gap has now filled at 255. While there is still a bit more room lower on this backtest, I think that this 230-260 area is a good area to scoop longs for a move back to 320-347. Stops below 230.
