SPY Pullback Zone To Watch And Steve’s $121,000 Profit Story
Hey Options Trader,
This week’s market continues to show strong bullish momentum, even with the possibility of a short-term pullback over the next one to seven days. The key theme right now is resilience. Earnings season has delivered, the MAG7 companies reported phenomenal numbers, and even though many of these stocks are trading near all-time highs, valuations have actually become more attractive as earnings continue to grow. With core CPI and core PPI coming next week, we still have important catalysts ahead, but for now, buyers continue to step in on weakness.
Here’s what we are covering:
My bullish market outlook heading into next week
Steve’s six-figure client spotlight

Market Snapshot
My overall market outlook remains very bullish, even if we see a pullback over the next one to seven days. Every small pullback so far has been bought up quickly, and with the bulk of earnings now behind us, the market continues to show impressive strength. MAG7 reported phenomenal earnings, and even though prices are near all-time highs, valuations have actually come down because these companies are earning more money than they were in previous quarters.
$SPY ( ▼ 0.31% ) is currently trading around 733, and the expected Market Maker move is pricing in a potential move up toward 750 or down toward 716. If we do pull back into that 716 zone, I would view that as a healthy pullback area.
$VIX ( ▼ 1.78% ) is still decently elevated in the 17s, and although we saw a dip into the 16s today, it still has not broken into the 15 range where I would start looking to shore up more cash. Right now, I’m sitting at about 16.5% cash and still leaning aggressive while the market continues to reward strength.

SPY trending higher. Second bullish MACD bar.

VIX still slightly elevated…heading towards the $15 greed zone
Client Spotlight
This week’s Client Spotlight is Steve, who became our quickest six-figure month earner inside Options Trading University. In just his second month in the program, Steve hit $121,000 in profit and is now consistently working toward and hitting his 3 to 5% per month goal.
We also saw several more client wins come through today, including one client making $20,000 over the past five days, Richard locking in $12,000 in profit today, and Justin hitting $9,100 in profit. It is amazing to see this kind of consistency and execution across the community.
Free Trade of the Week
Ticker: CDE
Strategy: Sell the June 5th $16.5 cash-secured put
Premium Collected: $55
Duration: 30 days
ROI: 3.45%
Annualized Return (compounded monthly): 50.23%
Risk: Assignment risk at the 16.5 strike, with the key level being defended near the lower Bollinger Band
CDE gives us exposure to gold, silver, and precious metals, which can be attractive in the current market environment. The company recently had positive earnings, strong cash flows, and I believe the stock has room to move higher long-term. If assigned at 16.5, that would be below the lower Bollinger Band, which could create a strong discount entry point on a stock I would be comfortable owning.

Investors see ANOTHER return from Masterworks (!!!!)
That’s 6 sales in 7 months. 29 all time. And the performance?
16.5%, 17.6%, and 17.8%, net annualized returns on sold works held longer than one year (See all 29 at Masterworks.com)
It’s not from stocks, private equity, or real estate… it’s from contemporary and post war art. Crazy, right?
With Masterworks, you don’t need to be a BILLIONAIRE to invest in multi-million dollar art anymore.
Historically, the segment overall has had attractive appreciation and low correlation to stocks.*
Masterworks targets works featuring legends like Banksy, Basquiat, and Picasso, identifying what they believe to have significant long-term appreciation potential, not just at the artist level but at the level of individual artworks.
As one of the largest players in the art market, with $1.3 billion invested over 500 artworks, they pass critical advantages through to their 70,000+ members to add art to their portfolios strategically.
