SPX Daily Forecast Indicator

How to Use the Updated SPX Daily Forecast for Better 0DTE Trades

We’ve just updated one of the most popular tools on Alpha Crunching — the SPX Daily Forecast Indicator — and it’s now even more powerful for traders looking to gain an edge before the market opens.

Whether you're trading 0DTE SPX options or just looking for directional context to start the day, the new features offer a smarter, more structured way to approach each trading session.

Here’s what’s new:

🔹 Day-Specific Trend Analysis

You can now view the SPX daily forecast by each day of the week — so Monday’s behavior is separated from Wednesday’s, for example. This allows you to better prepare for what’s typical on that specific day based on recent data.

🔹 5-Minute Interval Forecasting

Each forecast is built from the average movement of SPX in 5-minute intervals over the past month, giving you a real-world intraday pattern to compare against current price action.

🔹 Week-Over-Week Trend Shifts

Want to know if this Wednesday is looking more bearish than last Wednesday? You can now compare each day's forecast with the previous 1–2 weeks, helping you detect shifts in trend strength or sentiment.

🔹 Directional Bias Metrics

New metrics at the bottom of the forecast panel now quantify how bullish or bearish today is compared to prior weeks, helping you form a quick directional bias before placing trades.
