Friday January 23 2026 SPY SPX ES Actionable Levels

$SPX dips & defends key 'bullish hold' level and runs to key resistances. Is $SPY setting up for another breakout?

In yesterday’s letter, we wrote:

For tomorrow, we’re closely watching the key SPX levels of 6848, 6874, 6884 and 6911. We’ve carved out a wider range here and as long as those supports hold, we remain biased to the upside. Long entries can be taken on a dip & defense at 6874…Sustaining 6884 overnight would confirm bullish control and clear the path through 6898 and 6911 for an initial run to 6925, while a clean break above 6939…

This is what happened. The levels played out beautifully today, reinforcing our bullish sentiment. We successfully defended the 6884 level overnight, which allowed for a solid 50-point run higher. After a brief retracement in the regular session, we found support just above 6884 once more, propelling us to a high of day at 6934—comfortably surpassing our 6925 target and nearly reaching the 6939 resistance level. $SPY ( ▲ 0.04% )  $SPX ( ▲ 0.03% )  $ES_F ( 0.0% )  

See how well the levels work?

Trading Plan

Today’s move was a solid 1/2% point increase, albeit on lower volume, indicating that while the market is advancing, the strength behind the move might not be as robust as it appears.

Looking ahead to tomorrow, we have manufacturing and services PMI data scheduled right after the open, along with consumer sentiment and inflation data in the morning. These factors could create additional volatility, so it’s crucial to stay alert and ready to adjust our strategies as needed.

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.

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

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