SPY -0.22%, QQQ -0.22%, VXX +1.16%. ## Pushing Profits Game Plan Today's tape reads **Bearish**. SPY -0.22%, QQQ -0.22%, VXX +1.16% put today's tape in a bearish regime. **Bullish scenario.** SPY reclaims and holds above 747.80 (calls trigger) with QQQ following through 707.39. First objective 754.32 on SPY; lean into pullbacks that hold the trigger. **Bearish scenario.** SPY rejects 747.80 and loses 743.76 (puts trigger), QQQ confirming below 700.19. First objective 737.24 on SPY; rallies into the trigger are short setups. **Chop scenario.** SPY churns between 743.76 and 747.80 with VXX flat. Fade extremes, do not chase mid-range breaks, prioritize defined-risk premium selling. ## Liquidity Matrix Lesson of the Day ### Trend days respect the 9 EMA On strong trend days, price will not pierce the 9 EMA on a closing basis. Every pullback to the 9 is a buy (uptrend) or a sell (downtrend). If price closes through the 9 EMA, the trend day is over. ```cta-card {"headline":"Trade today's setups with the community","body":"Join the Pushing Profits Discord for live signals around these tickers, or start the Liquidity Matrix membership to unlock the full toolkit.","discordUrl":"https://discord.gg/pushingprofits","pricingUrl":"/pricing"} ```
