Bullish Above 6380 Until Bears Return, Systematic Signals Stay Clear | SPX Market Briefing | 03 Sep 2025

Hey Traders!

Yesterday’s afternoon trading, the Tag ‘n Turn system flipped from bearish to bullish, so now we’re bullish until we’re bearish again. I’ve not written up my swing trade post-trade debrief yet, but it was around 45% ROC due to the fast move down and turnaround.

SPX Market Briefing:

The charts tell the story of systematic precision working perfectly while life adventures take priority – the ideal integration of mechanical trading with genuine experiences.

Current System Status:

• Tag ‘n Turn: Flipped bearish to bullish evening session for 45% ROC

• Current Bias: Bullish above 6380 until systematic signals change

• Premium Popper: Delivered opening nibbles for students and systematic execution

The Evening Flip Success Story:

The Tag ‘n Turn delivered exactly what systematic approaches promise: clear signals with measurable results. The bearish to bullish flip in the US afternoon session produced around 45% ROC thanks to the fast move down and systematic turnaround recognition.

This type of mechanical precision happens because the system identifies market structure changes rather than trying to predict them. Fast moves create quick profits when you’re positioned systematically rather than emotionally.

Today’s Systematic Continuity:

The plan remains beautifully consistent with systematic philosophy:

Tag ‘n Turn: Bullish above 6380 until we’re bearish. Clear level, clear bias, clear systematic decision-making. No guesswork, no emotional interpretation.

Premium Popper & Lazy Popper: Await the opening bell for the algo to do its things and highlight the trades. Mechanical setup recognition without forcing opportunities.

Expert Insights:

Options selling with 7DTE expirations benefits most from either slow, steady movements that allow time decay to work effectively, or large fast moves that quickly hit profit objectives. Small fast moves can be challenging as they don’t provide sufficient time for theta harvest nor enough directional movement for quick profit capture.

Clear level-based decision making (bullish above 6380) eliminates emotional interpretation while providing systematic frameworks that work regardless of external distractions or leisure activity priorities.
