Daily SPY Tactical Playbook - 05 AUG
Daily SPY Tactical Playbook
Market Technical Outlook
Markets have regained strong bullish momentum following the latest geopolitical developments, fueling a broad wave of optimism. The result has been a series of aggressive breakout moves across the major indices.
In environments like this, the highest probability strategy is to trade with the prevailing trend unless new geopolitical headlines materially change the narrative.
Rather than chasing extended price action, we will focus on either breakout-and-retest opportunities or pullbacks into our predefined key demand zones.
Risk Index
Medium-term: Risk On
Short-term: Risk On
The Risk Index has officially shifted back into Risk On territory on the short-term timeframe, aligning with the current bullish price structure.
Scenarios / Strategies
Long Scenario 1
Scalp Buy (771)
If price successfully retests and reclaims this level with a confirmed 1-hour bullish candle close, long exposure can be considered.
Trigger: Retest of 771 followed by a bullish 1-hour candle close back above the level.
Targets: Take partial profits after every $1 advance.
Invalidation: 1-hour candle close below 771.
Long Scenario 2
Main Buy Zone (760.75)
This represents the primary institutional demand zone. If price retraces into this area and confirms support, long exposure can be established.
Trigger: Retest of 760.75 followed by a bullish 1-hour candle close back above the Main Buy Zone.
Targets: Take partial profits after every $1 advance.
Invalidation: 1-hour candle close below 756.
Position Management Rules
1. Entry model: Unique for every scenario. Read each setup carefully before entering.
2. Take profits in stages because market reversals can happen quickly.
3. After the first profit target is reached, move all remaining stop losses to breakeven and convert the position into a risk-free trade.
4. A reaction from the level must be confirmed. We do not predict price. We react to price.
5. Every scenario has its own invalidation level. Respect them without exception.
6. SPY & QQQ charts use RTH (Regular Trading Hours). ES & NQ futures charts use ETH (Electronic Trading Hours).
