SPY at a Critical Level! Key Trade Setups for Oct. 1 Market Structure (15m & 1h)
SPY closed around 664.6, holding inside an ascending channel. Price made a strong push into the 666–667 zone before cooling off. On the 15m chart, MACD is rolling down and Stoch RSI is oversold, suggesting near-term weakness, but the 1h structure is still bullish as long as 658–660 trendline support holds.
Support & Resistance Zones
* Resistance: 667 → 668 (Gamma walls + overhead supply)
* Support: 663–664, then 662, with stronger defense at 660–658
GEX / Options Sentiment
* Highest positive GEX magnet: 665
* Call walls: 667–668 (heavy cluster, tough to crack)
* Put walls: 662, 660 (strong downside lines)
* Options flow still favors puts (63%), showing downside hedging is dominant.
My Thoughts
SPY is coiling in a tight pocket:
* Bullish case: Holding 663–664 could bring another test into 667–668. A breakout over 668 with volume would open the door to 670+.
* Bearish case: Losing 663 turns momentum back to sellers, targeting 662 → 660, with 658 trendline as last defense.
Trade Setups for Oct. 1
* Bullish scalp: Long off 663–664 support, target 667–668, stop below 661.5.
* Bearish scalp: Short rejection at 667–668, target 662–660, stop above 669.
* Swing watch: Clear close above 668 → upside extension toward 670–672.
SPY is pinned between 663–664 support and 667–668 resistance. Whichever side breaks first will likely define the day’s momentum. Bulls must reclaim and hold above 668 for continuation, while bears need a break under 663 to take control.

Opening (IRA): SPY December 19th -605P... for a 6.47 credit.
Comments: On second thought, going to ladder out a bit here on weakness plus higher IV. Targeting the strike paying around 1% of the strike price in credit.
Will look at add at intervals, assuming I can get in at strikes better than what I currently have on and/or roll out at 50% max.

Elliott Wave Forecast: SPDR S&P 500 (SPY)’s Path to Record PeaksThe Short-Term Elliott Wave analysis for the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY), starting from August 2, indicates an ongoing impulsive rally. From the August 2 low, the ETF surged in wave ((i)) to 647.04, followed by a dip in wave ((ii)) concluding at 634.92. The ETF then climbed in wave ((iii)) to 667.34. A corrective pullback in wave ((iv)) formed a zigzag Elliott Wave pattern. From the wave ((iii)) peak, wave (a) declined to 661.98, wave (b) rallied to 664.65, and wave (c) dropped to 654.42, completing wave ((iv)).
The ETF has since resumed its upward trajectory in wave ((v)), exhibiting an impulsive structure with internal extensions. From the wave ((iv)) low, wave (i) reached 662.37, and a brief pullback in wave (ii) ended at 657.88. The ETF then nested higher, with wave i peaking at 665.8 and wave ii correcting to 660.93. Wave iii ascended to 670.74, followed by a wave iv pullback to 666.78. As long as the pivot low at 654.42 holds, the ETF should continue its upward momentum in the near term.

Waiting for the Stock Market to FallI’m expecting a decline in the stock market. Long positions are relevant only in the commodity sector — no stock longs!
At the moment, I’m not entering any positions. I’m watching the market, monitoring major players (who, by the way, are closing their positions and moving into cash), and keeping an eye on the news flow.
I believe that later this year or early next year, an opportunity to open a short position will appear. For now, I’m just observing. There have already been a few attempts to enter the market, but stop-losses got triggered. Thanks to stop-losses for existing — they prevent blowing up the account.
Right now, there’s no rush. It’s all about waiting for the right trade. Meanwhile, I’m staying long in metals.
