How To Trade SPY As Market Focuses On Inflation Expectations

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 level of 569.98. For the bulls, we're watching for an initial push higher toward 571.06. If buyers can sustain momentum above this level, we anticipate a move up to 572.15, which will be a key test of strength. Should the auction hold above 572.15 during regular trading hours, the upside target extends to 573.50, with an ultimate bullish objective at 574.65.

If 569.98 fails to hold as support, bears will look to test the 569.16 level. A break below this could accelerate selling toward 567.81. If downward pressure persists and sellers dominate, we expect to see price action challenge 566.46. In an extended sell-off, the low bear target for today sits at 565.38.

Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (QQQ)

The QQQs are currently trading near 486.10, an important level in today’s session. Bulls will want to establish support above 487.69 to set the stage for higher prices. If this level is secured, buyers could push the auction toward 490.05. A sustained move above 490.05 could lead to further upside targeting 491.82, with a strong bullish session potentially bringing a test of 493.60. The high bull target for the Qs today is 495.35.

If 486.10 is lost as support, bears will aim for a drop toward 483.95. Should selling pressure intensify, the next key level to watch is 481.73. A deeper sell-off could see a test of 479.03. If 479.03 fails to hold, we expect continued downside action to our low bear target of 476.85.

Apple Inc. (AAPL)

Apple is currently trading near 235.74. Bulls need to defend this level to build momentum for a move higher. If strength is present, we anticipate a test of 236.69, with continued buying leading to 237.49. A sustained bid could bring further upside movement toward 238.63, which serves as the high bull target for the day.

If 235.74 is lost as support, sellers are likely to test 234.97. Should selling pressure persist, the auction could push lower to 234.20. If 234.20 is breached, the next downside level to watch is 233.28. A strong bearish move could take price action to our low bear target of 231.76.

Microsoft Corp. (MSFT)

Microsoft is currently auctioning around 388.53. Bulls need to maintain strength above this level to initiate an upward move toward 389.29. Holding 389.29 as support could fuel further gains, with 390.98 becoming the next area of interest. Continued momentum could bring MSFT to our high bull target of 392.49.

If 388.53 does not hold, we expect the bears to take control and push price action lower toward 387.60. If this level breaks down, 386.09 comes into focus as the next downside test. Sustained weakness could lead to a move toward 385.42, with the final bearish objective for the day at 384.57.

NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA)
NVIDIA is currently trading near 110.73. Bulls will be looking for an initial move toward 111.70, with a strong hold above this level opening the door for a test of 112.54. If buyers maintain control, we anticipate a push higher to 113.68. In a strong bullish scenario, the high bull target for the day sits at 114.29.

If 110.73 is lost as support, we expect sellers to test 109.86. A break below this level could lead to further downside action toward 109.12. If selling pressure remains persistent, the next critical level to watch is 107.51. A deep pullback could see the auction move to our low bear target of 106.30.

Alphabet Inc Class A (GOOGL)

Alphabet is currently auctioning around 171.14. Bulls will need to defend this level and push price action toward 172.28. If buying pressure is sustained, we could see a rally toward 174.01, which serves as the high bull target for the day.

If 171.14 fails to hold, bears will likely attempt to take price lower to 169.34. Should selling pressure increase, the next key downside level is 167.04. A break below 167.04 could lead to a move toward our low bear target of 165.41.

Meta Platforms Inc (META)

Meta is currently trading near 615.65. Bulls will need to maintain strength above this level to target an upside move toward 622.01. If buyers sustain control, we could see a push toward 629.88. A strong rally today could bring Meta to our high bull target of 635.49.

If 615.65 does not hold as support, bears are likely to drive price action lower toward 609.30. A break below this level could trigger further selling down to 604.50. If downside momentum continues, we expect the auction to reach our low bear target of 598.17.

Tesla Inc. (TSLA)

Tesla is currently trading around 256.34. Bulls need to hold this level and push price action up to 257.56. If this level is reclaimed as support, we expect buyers to test 259.81. A strong bullish auction could drive the price toward 262.68, with the high bull target sitting at 264.46.

If 256.34 fails as support, the bears will likely push for a move lower to 254.28. Continued selling pressure could bring 252.38 into play. If 252.38 is breached, the next downside target is 250.25, which serves as the low bear target for the day.

Final Word:

As we kick off the trading week, economic data is on the lighter side. At 11:00 AM ET, we will get the New York Fed's Survey of Consumer Expectations for February, which could offer insight into consumer sentiment and inflation expectations. Later, at 11:30 AM ET, the Treasury will conduct auctions for 3-month and 6-month bills. While today lacks high-impact economic releases, market participants should remain cautious as liquidity conditions and technical levels could play a key role in price action. Trade with discipline and manage risk accordingly.
