Trading Plan for Monday, April 8th, 2024

Market Sentiment: Bullish with potential for volatility as CPI data approaches.

Important Note: CPI data will be released later this week. Expect outsized moves and potential traps. Prioritize risk management and adaptability.

Key Supports

Immediate Supports: 5246 (major), 5230-34 (major), 5221, 5212, 5207, 5203 (major), and others.

Major Supports: 5196, 5191 (major), 5181, 5179 (major), 5172, 5162 (major), 5155, 5144-46 (major), and many more.

Key Resistances

Near-term Resistance: 5255 (major), 5263, 5270 (major), 5279, 5287, 5292 (major), and others.

Major Resistances: 5302, 5308 (major), 5311, 5316, 5321, 5329-32 (major), and more.

Trading Strategy

Defending Support: The 5230-34 zone is crucial for bulls. Holding this level signals potential for an upwards move toward 5287-92, with possible profit-taking dips along the way.

Long Opportunities: Focus on the 5230-34 zone (if today's high remains unbroken). In case of a breakdown, use extreme caution and target major supports like 5203 and 5191. Look for failed breakdowns and reclaims as potential long entry signals.

Shorting with Caution: Shorting into strength within bull markets is inherently risky. If considering shorts, the best area is the 5287-92 zone (red downtrend channel), with another potential reaction at 5270.

Bull Case

Holding Strong: As long as 5230-34 support holds (ideally with a minor dip promptly bought below 5203), the path is open to 5287-92. Expect another dip there before potentially reaching new all-time highs.

Ultra Bullish Scenario: If bulls hold above 5246 and buy any small dips, this signals strength and could lead to potential adds.

Bear Case

Breakdown Signals: If 5230-34 fails, the bear case activates. Since most breakdowns trap, look for a bounce/failed breakdown first, then consider short entries with level-to-level profit targets.
