S&P 500 Daily Plan: Holding the Line at All-Time Highs

A Slow Grind Up? Bulls Defend Critical $6461.50 Support as Focus Shifts to Overhead Target at $6504.00 Amid Low Volume

Good morning, everyone. Today is Wednesday, August 13th. The futures have drifted higher overnight, and the market is giving us a classic all-time high scenario: low volatility, a quiet uptrend, and a critical support level that is holding the entire structure together.

We have no red-tag news events scheduled for today, which means the market will likely be driven by technicals and order flow. However, we must always remain prepared for unexpected headline risk that could inject volatility. With the HTF trend clearly bullish, our job is to identify key areas to join the move or manage risk if the structure begins to falter.

Let's get into the levels so we're prepared for anything.
