Slow Grind Monday Still Delivered. Software Does The Thinking. | SPX Market Briefing | 9 Dec 2025

Monday was looking like a slow grind to start the week – and I suppose it still was – but what changes the perspective on things is snagging a quick Premium Popper options scalper.

We also thought it wouldn’t unfold the way we wanted. Especially as we continue the last several weeks of live trainings on how to finesse and fine tune a good trade from a less than good trade and assess market conditions for what could be a crappy day to avoid.

Your software should do the thinking. Keep scrolling for how that works…

SPX Market Briefing:

On to today’s analysis. Same as yesterday looking at the big picture – we are still near the upper end of the larger ranges and attempted to tip over ever so slightly… slightly!

Current Multi-Market Status:

• SPX: Bull TnT active – Bullish Above 6847.97, PFZ 6827.19, Target 6883.89

• RUT: New pinch point – small and tight in height – 2520-ish for bear break

• VIX: 16.79 – still lounging about

• GC: 4,231 – grinding as usual

• CL: 58.75 – back inside channel after Monday’s escape attempt

Two Ways To Assess SPX

Now then – at the moment there are two ways to assess things:

Option 1: 100% Mechanical

The software “does it for you.” Currently Tag n Turn with a new bullish setup. The mechanical assessment will get you back bullish if you weren’t already yesterday.

The PFZ level is just below 6830. If there’s going to be a solid bear movement, the mechanical process will flip to bearish below that level. No thinking or “extra stuff” needed.

Option 2: Manual Range Reading

As I was reminding our mentorship group yesterday – I’ve removed the range trading elements of the software whilst I fine tune and debug so that it works as intended.

As such, manually looking at the pinch point from last week will identify the range. That range can still be used to find trading opportunities using the “break in” setup (similar to the range reversal setup).

The Fun Part: Once again, this currently manual process will be done for you on a future version (without the bugs we had previously) – ideally in the new year.

RUT – Easier To Read

RUT is a little easier to read. We have a new pinch point – it’s quite small and tight in height – so waiting for a break in either direction is what’s what.

2520-ish for the bear move.

Premium Poppers At The Open

Premium Poppers at the open again will be assessed and I’m finding I’m leaning towards getting my scalp in and being done for the day.

Many students are still seeing great results with the Lazy Popper and I suppose it’s just not lazy enough for me! LOL
