How we called the top in the S&P 500 before a firesale drop

While many traders were caught off guard by yesterday’s market sell-off (on May 21, 2025), our Live Trading Room members were prepared—thanks to the precise intraday projections provided by Vanessa and Keith.

Working in tandem each day, Vanessa and Keith deliver real-time target projections and retracement zones to help you navigate the market with confidence.

 Yesterday’s Market – As Expected

Before the opening bell, we outlined a retracement move to the upside, which played out with Nasdaq hitting all of our projected upside targets. We also called out a high-probability failure zone on the S&P 500 at 5455 which was only our first target. It failed beautifully, dropping straight to our

Current Market Outlook

Here’s what Vanessa and Keith are currently watching:

S&P 500 (ES)

• If price holds below 5890, we’re likely to see moves toward 5818 and 5807 and lower bigger picture targets

Nasdaq (NQ)

• As long as price stays below 21380, targets include 21052 and the 21000 area and lower bigger picture targets.

These zones are not just numbers—they’re part of our proprietary core level framework, refined for precision day trading.

Interested in working with Vanessa and Keith to learn Futures?

Futures are wildly misunderstood. If you know how to trade them, it’s quick to pick them up. In fact, we have traders in the Futures room trading full-time who only have traded futures a few years.
