SP500 Futures Trading Plan for 8/30/23

I share my plan for academic functions and dialogue and it isn’t supposed to be used as commerce suggestions or concepts.

Recap: I wrote within the plan for right this moment that trying to brief the market can be “high-risk buying and selling” and that “I’d look ahead to a transfer above 4451 for a breakout commerce”. In that plan, I mentioned that my most well-liked entry can be both a transfer over 4451 and a retest of it as assist, or on an in depth above 4456. Both would have labored nicely because the market exploded greater after reclaiming this degree.

Relating to entry technique: I don’t chase breakouts, however previously I’ve famous my use of the idea of value acceptance to enter trades like this one. The market consolidated slightly below these set off ranges within the prolonged hours, an indication of value acceptance, and so this may seemingly have been a very good entry level to begin constructing a place or to only enter a full commerce. Resistances from the plan (4467, 4478) supplied for pauses and glorious profit-taking alternatives earlier than sellers pushed again at considered one of my core resistance ranges round 4504 and the flag highs at 4508. I used to be gone many of the morning and didn’t commerce this transfer.

Steadiness/Development: I mentioned yesterday and in current days that recovering the dotted aqua trendline, the first development of 2023, can be a significant step in direction of placing an finish to this pullback since late July. Although bulls fell about 20+ factors wanting that right this moment, the transfer via the midpoint of the black flag was a very good precursor to that risk. Bulls now want to interrupt out from the black flag at round 4505 to validate this sample and lift the percentages of a restoration of the 2023 development.

Evaluation: After breaking out right this moment the market started to seek out value acceptance above 4494, the extent that shaped the highest of the ascending triangle that was so essential in June and once more in early August. Moreover, right this moment’s shut was the very best in two weeks and occurred proper across the breakout level of the black flag. On breakout, this validates the bull flag and bulls will once more try and retake the 2023 development at 4531.

Potential assist: 4505, 4485-89, 4469, 4463, 4452, 4425, 4407, 4381-83 Potential resistance: 4520, 4531, 4540, 4551, 4567, 4571, 4591-93, 4597
