Friday August 7 2026 SPY SPX ES Actionable Levels

$SPX consolidates between the levels. Where does $SPY head Friday?

In partnership with

In yesterday’s letter, we wrote:

For tomorrow, we’re closely watching the key SPX levels of 7705, 7720, 7743, and 7766. Despite the recent multi-session squeeze and today’s consolidation, the bias remains higher and we’ll look to get long on a dip & defense at 7720. A clean breakout and hold above 7743 also warrants a long…

If we lose 7705 and can’t bounce back above it, we’ll flip short

This is what happened. After an overnight dip, we managed to defend the critical 7720 level-right at 7748 ES, which allowed us to bounce back to the 7743 resistance EXACT, hitting a high of day at 7742.85. However, we faced some selling pressure after that, leading to a drop where we defended the 7705 support multiple times, demonstrating the market’s struggle to maintain upward momentum. $SPY ( ▼ 0.16% )  $SPX ( ▼ 0.16% )  $ES_F ( 0.0% )

Now, as we find ourselves in a consolidation phase, the question arises: what are the next key levels we need to watch? Where must we hold to ensure we continue our upward trajectory, and what is the downside risk if we break below these supports?

More in the trade plan below.

Below, we’ll cover the actionable levels, how we played them today and what they mean for the next session.

The multiple defenses of 7705 and rejection of 7743 resistance are prime examples of the levels at work. Always trust the levels.

Now we are sitting in after hours right on the key 7712 support level. What does this mean and where do we go from here? Read below for our trade plan which includes actionable support & resistance levels, outlook for the next session and today’s trade recap.

Trading Plan

Today’s market action was a modest .2% move down, to close right above key support.

Looking ahead to tomorrow, we have the important unemployment rate release scheduled before the open, along with at least one FOMC member speaking during the session. These events could have significant implications for market direction and volatility, so we need to be prepared and watch the levels closely.

We are receiving some great questions from beginners. This is helping us develop guides for this group as well as the course. More to come but we’ve created a separate channel in the discord just so you don’t have to be shy about bringing those questions to the group. No question is dumb, we grow stronger together!

In fact, we’ve created this single resource as a guide. It is a living document and we will continue updating it. You must be logged into the site to read it:

For tomorrow, we’re closely watching the key SPX levels of…
