How To Trade SPY When Market Reacts To Key Catalysts

Good Morning Traders! In today’s Market Clubhouse Morning Memo, we will discuss SPY, QQQ, AAPL, MSFT, NVDA, GOOGL, META, and TSLA.

Our proprietary formula, exclusive to Market Clubhouse, dictates these price levels. This dynamic equation takes into account price, volume, and options flow. These levels are updated every day and shared with all Clubhouse Members, prior to the opening of the market.

We recommend closely monitoring these stocks, and be prepared to leverage potential breakouts or reversals. As always, stay alert and ready to adjust your tactics based on the market’s pulse to optimize your trading gains. Now, let’s dive into the stock analysis:

SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust SPY

SPY is currently trading around our key level of 576.62. Bulls need to maintain support at this level to push higher toward 577.87. If buyers can establish 577.87 as a solid floor, we anticipate a move to 579.12. Should momentum persist, the next upside target would be 580.67, with the potential to extend toward 600.51 if buying remains aggressive.

If SPY fails to hold 576.62, sellers may test the strength of 575.67. Continued weakness could drive the auction lower to 574.65. If that level gives way under sustained selling, the next key downside area is 573.50, with a potential drop to 572.15 if bears take full control of the session.

Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 QQQ

QQQ is currently positioned around 495.35. If buyers can defend this level, we anticipate a push to 496.94. A breakout above that could lead to a test of 498.37. Strong bullish participation may extend the move to 499.44, with a high bull target for today set at 501.07.

Should 495.35 fail as support, we look for sellers to take charge, targeting 493.60. Increased bearish activity could bring a test of 491.82. If weakness persists, we expect 490.05 to be challenged, with further downside possibly extending to our low bear target of 487.69.

Apple Inc. AAPL

Apple is currently auctioning near 234.20. Bulls need to establish support above this level to drive price action to 234.97. If strength continues, we anticipate a push to 235.74. Further upside momentum could bring 236.69 into play, with a high bull target of 237.49.

If 234.20 fails as support, we expect sellers to press for a move down to 233.28. If this level is lost, the next downside test is 231.76. Continued bearish pressure could bring a move to 230.25, with a potential extension lower to our bear target of 229.03.

Microsoft Corp. MSFT

Microsoft is currently positioned around 395.68. If bulls can sustain support at this level, a move toward 397.65 is in play. Holding above 397.65 would increase the likelihood of a push to 398.38. A strong session could see price action reaching our high bull target of 399.21.

If 395.68 fails as support, we look for the bears to drive the auction lower to 394.46. Further weakness could lead to a breakdown toward 393.47. If selling pressure remains dominant, we expect a move down to 392.49, with a low bear target of 390.98.

NVIDIA Corporation NVDA
NVIDIA is trading near 113.68, a key level to watch. If bulls can defend this area, we anticipate a push toward 114.29. A successful breakout could lead to a rally up to 115.15. Sustained bullish pressure may see a test of 115.83, with a high bull target of 116.61.

If 113.68 does not hold, bears are likely to drive the price lower to 112.54. A breakdown of that level could bring 111.70 into play. If weakness persists, we expect a test of 110.73, with further selling pressure potentially pushing price action to our low bear target of 109.86.

Alphabet Inc Class A GOOGL

Alphabet is currently trading around 171.14. Bulls need to maintain support at this level for an upward move to 172.28. Continued buying momentum could push price action toward 174.01, which serves as today's high bull target.

If 171.14 is lost as support, sellers will likely drive the auction lower to 169.34. A further breakdown could lead to a test of 167.04. If the bearish trend strengthens, the price may extend down to our low bear target of 165.41.

Meta Platforms Inc META

Meta is trading near 650.56. If bulls hold this level as support, we expect a move to 655.54. A continued uptrend could see price action testing 658.86, with a high bull target of 663.33 if buyers remain in control.

If 650.56 is lost as support, bears are likely to push for a test of 646.48. Additional selling could drive the price down to 642.59. If weakness persists, we look for a further move lower to our low bear target of 635.49.

Tesla Inc. TSLA

Tesla is auctioning around 272.42. Bulls need to hold this level for an attempt at 275.07. A strong move above 275.07 could bring 278.11 into play. If buyers sustain momentum, Tesla could reach 279.43, with a high bull target at 281.32.

If 272.42 does not hold as support, we expect sellers to test 269.48. A breakdown of this level could see price action move toward 266.83. If bearish pressure persists, we anticipate a further drop to our low bear target of 264.46.
