The SPY is at a crossroads as we close out February. We’ve had hotter-than expected inflation, talks of tariffs, promises of deregulation, China’s stimulus rollout, and Wall Street’s continuing “soft landing” narrative. This is a time to be cautious. Friday’s PCE inflation data could sway the Fed’s March rate decision. Midterm elections and tax cut debates are heating up. Regardless of the noise, the levels show us the way.

We are trading in the range of $591 to $600. For this week, we will be using support over $597 as the entry for calls and a rejection under $600 for puts.

Here are this week’s SPY options:
(15-30 minute candles for confirmation and stop-loss)

$595 PUT 3/10 or $591 3/11 (Cheaper, but higher risk)
Entry: Retest & rejection under $600
Target : $595, $591.50, (Continuation: $587, $585)

$603 CALL 3/11
Entry: Breakout & retest over $597.70
Target : $601, $603, $603.44, (Continuation: $606, $608)
