SPX's impressive recovery has raised hopes, but the market remains cautious. The rebound faces key resistance, and profit-taking could trigger volatility. Here's what you need to know before making your move.

SPX has delivered a textbook relief bounce off the back of broader market optimism. After retracing 82% from its highs, SPX rebounded over 110% from the $0.30 lows — a sharp recovery driven by speculative flows. But make no mistake: this is a low-liquidity, high-risk asset, and in a market that's still structurally cautious, tokens this far out on the risk curve remain highly vulnerable. While the bounce has been strong, the broader macro environment doesn't support a sustained upside for these kinds of assets. Profit-taking is expected to be resistance, especially from participants who've been underwater for months.
This is one of those setups you wait for. We're not touching SPX unless it trades into $0.82–$0.99. That's the zone where we get aggressive when looking too short into this region. Everything else in between is noise — the short only makes sense once the price enters that structured rejection region. Until then, we sit out. Liquidity is thin; it's already up 2x off the lows, and in this market, sellers are lurking everywhere above. If SPX gives us the setup, we take it. If not, we move on. Patience is key.
