8 Ways SPY Continues A Trend On The Hourly Chart
SPY does not trend on one company's news. It trends when participation broadens across the S&P 500, and the hourly chart is where that broader shift usually first becomes visible as a clean trend rather than single-stock noise.
A 5-minute SPY chart reacts to every headline and every futures tick. An hourly chart filters most of that out, and what survives to move price across a full hourly bar usually reflects genuine, broad-index participation.
Eight setups, an ADX-confirmed Donchian channel hold, a 20/50-EMA pullback, an anchored VWAP hold, band walks, and a break-of-structure confirmation, built for how SPY actually continues a trend once the noise is filtered out.
Five built for a long continuation, three for a short one. Each one priced and shown to you before you pay for it.

How This Pack Is Built To Be Used
SPY's own trend hours are rarely driven by a single bar, they build across a session or several. These eight setups use a 20-period Donchian channel and a 20/50-EMA pair on the hourly chart instead of the tighter references the 5-minute pack uses, and add an ADX-strength filter to separate a genuine trend hour from a chop hour before committing to a continuation.
Grade trend strength with the site's own ADX Trend Strength Grader before taking either breakout setup, and check the moving averages with the Moving Average Crossover Signal Calculator before either pullback setup.
Practice each one on the private page you get after checkout. The tape is randomized fresh every time you run a drill, so you are training the pattern recognition, not memorizing one chart.
Common Questions
Why does this pack add an ADX filter that the 5-minute pack doesn't use?
On a slower chart, a breakout that looks clean on price alone can still be happening inside a genuinely weak trend. A rising ADX reading confirms the broader move has actual strength behind the specific bar that triggered the setup, not just a single hourly candle.
How is this different from the SPY 5-Minute pack?
Wider references throughout. A 20-period Donchian channel and a 20/50-EMA pair instead of the 5-minute pack's faster 8/21-EMA pair, built for a hold that spans several hours rather than a single intraday session.
What do I get after I buy?
A private page with all 8 setups, each with its own written entry, confirmation, and invalidation level, plus a live Buy/Sell/Flat practice drill you can run as many times as you want on randomized tape.
Does this work on other broad-market ETFs?
The mechanics carry over to other liquid index ETFs, but the exact levels and framing here are built around how SPY specifically trades on the hourly chart. See the QQQ Hourly pack for the same idea reframed around Nasdaq-100 leadership.
