SPY Levels & Game Plan

Wednesday, December 24, 2025

No Game Plan was published for today. And no pre-market screenshot was taken. The day before a major holiday where the market closes early isn't typically a good day to trade. The levels were run though, and data recorded to keep the Tracking Log accurate.

After the closing bell...

Trading by the Ticks & Trades Strategy, here is where you would have landed for the day:

In low volume, the path of least resistance is up. Price opened around the level at 687.96, which was the prior day's close, and started to grind higher. No official trade was entered until price hit 690.45. Going short there handed over a Base Hit eventually. It took almost an hour and a half to develop, but no rules were violated in the process. Slow day, and that's no surprise.

Per the rules, a total of 4 ES points for the day.
