Friday January 2 2026 SPY SPX ES Actionable Levels

$SPX loses critical support to fall to multiple downside targets. Where does $SPY need to reclaim in new year?

In partnership with

In Tuesday’s letter, we wrote:

For tomorrow, we’re closely watching key SPX levels at 6882, 6898, and 6923. As long as we hold 6882 or reclaim on any dip below it, we’ll stay long... If we lose 6882, we’ll flip short for the move down to 6870, with 6841 as the next support

This is what happened. We lost the critical 6882 SPX level, which we identified as the line in the sand. Once this level was breached, it confirmed a bearish trend, leading to a swift decline to our support target of 6841. $SPY ( ▼ 0.74% )  $SPX ( ▼ 0.74% )  $ES_F ( 0.0% )  

See how well the levels work?

Looking ahead to Friday, we have only a single manufacturing PMI report on the calendar. However, it’s crucial to remain vigilant for any news from the administration that could impact market dynamics. As always, we’ll continue to monitor key levels and adjust our strategies accordingly.

We are receiving some great questions from beginners. This is helping us develop guides for this group as well as the course.

As readers know trading after a massive move in either direction is risky.

Trying to predict when trend will break is a fool’s game because the trend can be stronger than you ever realize.

Going with the trend is hard because it has already run so far (or dropped) and move may be close to over.

All you can do is pick your entries carefully and with proper position sizing. Trading out 1-3 DTE or further also helps soften the blow.

Yes it will decrease the amount of profit but will greatly help keep you in a trade long enough to see return.

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