In last Saturday's Weekly Compass, I anticipated a high probability of a bearish reversal in the SPX and a decline in the Dow Jones ETF (DIA), alongside bullish moves for SPCX, AVGO, and AMD, plus a spike in VXX. Today, those setups played out as expected: SPX (-0.58%), DIA (-1.1% reaching $528 🎯), SPCX (+3.7% to $154.1 🎯), AVGO (+2.9% touching 372.9 🎯), AMD (+5.9% crossing $503 as bullish target 🎯), and VXX (+1.5% 🎯).

The market is highly dynamic, being bearish on the SPX doesn’t mean that every single ticker in the stock market will fall, every ticker follows its own setup, providing both bullish and bearish opportunities, and that neutrality is what I analyze having a watchlist with indices, futures, megacaps, and high volume ETFs that cover different sectors. Today, we will review the Setups Blueprint that is published each Saturday and do a recap on how to best utilize it, including the price levels modeled in advance every Friday for the week ahead, and used to set targets, as the ones mentioned above.

It’s just Monday and five of the high probability setups are playing out reaching weekly targets, the Weekly Compass is here:

Here is the Setups Blueprint for this week, where the decline in the SPX🎯 and DIA🎯 was anticipated, along with the bullish moves for AVGO🎯, SPCX🎯, AMD🎯, and VXX🎯:
