Lesson
The prediction that a US blockade of Iranian ports would negatively impact European chemical firms and thus the SPY was incorrect; the SPY increased by 1% in 24 hours. It's possible the blockade's impact was either already priced in, or other factors outweighed the blockade's effect on the SPY in the short term.
