SPY | RANGE TRADE | Dark Pool Activity + Structural Shift | (May 19, 2025)

1️⃣ Insight Summary:
SPX is still trading near a key sell zone, and recent dark pool activity suggests a possible shift in market structure. A correction from here wouldn’t be surprising.

2️⃣ Trade Parameters:
Bias: Neutral with Short Bias
Entry Zone: Watching current highs as a potential area to fade
Stop Loss: Above recent highs (tight and reactive)
TP1/TP2: Targeting lower support zones if correction unfolds
Alternative Setup: If support holds and structure flips, I may look for reactive longs

3️⃣ Key Notes:
✅ Notable dark pool prints showed up on Thursday, indicating potential distribution — this has changed how I view the market structure
✅ I’m preparing for a “sell the highs, buy the lows” scenario inside the current range
❌ A clean breakout above the current resistance zone would invalidate the short bias
💡 I’ve outlined both long and short scenarios — it's all about reacting to what price gives us

4️⃣ Follow-up Note:
If things start moving sharply, I’ll post an update with chart visuals and refined zones. Also, let me know if you'd like my dual-path trade planning template — it’s great for these types of setups.
