SPX500 – Retest of ATH, Bullish Flag in Formation

10 de set.

SPX500 reached a new all-time high today and has since pulled back to retest the previous ATH level. The structure remains intact, and price is shaping up into a potential bullish flag, signaling continuation higher.

Confluences:
• Oscillators showing bullish momentum
• No major trends broken
• Small pullback likely enough for a bounce toward retesting the new ATH

On the 1H chart, this lines up with a quick 0.5R setup:
• Target: 1 ATR
• Stop loss: 2 ATR

Nota

This trade closed at 0.5R, and that’s exactly the point. I know many aim for 1:3R or higher, but the truth is those often don’t hit on the first attempt. With 0.5R it’s usually the opposite – most of them do hit first.

The psychological side is huge:
- it’s not mentally exhausting,
- it gives quick wins and confidence,
- with an 80%+ winrate, 2 quick wins are usually enough to cover the occasional loss and keep the account in balance.

I’m not saying everyone should trade like this, but if you love trading and still feel you’re fighting the market or yourself, this approach is worth thinking about.

And as this one reached target, so did others – for example:

One more important part of the concept: the ATR. It adapts to market conditions, and thanks to leverage, even if the target looks “close,” it’s still possible to take sizeable positions. That means you can capture solid percentage gains – sometimes in just a few minutes – regardless of whether the market is slow or volatile.

Hope this perspective gave you some value.
