$SPX & $QQQ

What a time to be alive. We’re opening above 6300 SPX today (most likely). And it’s OPEX day — don’t forget that.

On Tuesday, after the CPI print, we noted:

CPI came in line, slightly cold if you strip food and energy. All in all, good for ze pamp continuation.

A quick test of 6200 was enough to bring us back over 100 points yesterday to a new ATH.

6250 is still a level to watch for downside. If we stay above it, chances are we keep grinding higher. 6400 would be the next target for next week if that happens.

The SPX AM options are heavy at the 6300 strike, so that clears up quite a bit right about now as I write these notes.

If we sell under 6250 today, I’d say we open the case for bears to retest 6200, then 6000.

Let’s have a sesh.

Flow Cross, Flow Divergence, Key Levels, Spike/Dump, Gaps – all the market forces behind your NQ and ES futures trades plus 0DTE options, visible instantly. When you see "QQQ bullish flow cross" while you're long NQ, you KNOW to hold.

This is what separates profitable traders from everyone else – seeing what's actually moving the market while it's happening.

Don't trade your next 0DTE or futures position without knowing what the flow is telling you.

With this new system, I'm profitable. I control my emotions before and during the position. With this system, my actions are calm and solid. It's possible to hold a position much longer because emotions disappear. It's an incredible tool that allows you to quickly become profitable without any bullshit. – @RR0077
