Friday May 1 2026 SPY SPX ES Actionable Levels
$SPX drops overnight to must hold level, defends and BLASTS 1% to fresh all time highs. Where must $SPY hold Friday?
In yesterday’s letter, we wrote:
For tomorrow, we’re closely watching the key SPX levels of 7096, 7109, 7121, and 7137 as the market remains tethered to today’s defense right at our must-hold pivot. We remain biased to the long side, seeking entries on a dip & defense at 7109 or a direct defense of 7096, and if 7121 holds overnight we’ll look to press longs through 7137. From there, upside targets are 7152, 7167, 7182, a move to 7200, and on a squeeze up to 7226.”
This is what happened. The levels played out incredibly well today. After an overnight drop, we defended right above the must-hold level at 7096. We then ran it up overnight to the 7182 resistance target. After the open, we had another nice drop and initially defended at 7137 for a decent bounce and then again just above 7121 (7126 low of day). Following this, we surged through the key levels of 7152, 7167, and 7182 before knocking out 7200 and nearly reaching the upper target of 7226, with a high of day at 7219.83 for a massive 1% move on the day. $SPY ( ▲ 1.0% ) $SPX ( ▲ 1.02% ) $ES_F ( 0.0% )
See how well the levels work?
Finally, Skincare That Boosts NAD+ At the Source
For decades, skincare has focused on aesthetic results. But we started by asking a different question: what if instead of trying to preserve our skin's youth, we prioritized optimizing our skin's function? That's how Aramore’s NAD+ skincare was born.
Developed by Harvard & MIT scientists, Aramore is a skincare system based on skin’s performance, not just its appearance. NAD+ production slows down significantly as we age, and this causes all the telltale science of aging.
Aramore is the only skincare formulated to help skin produce NAD+ like much younger skin would. The result? Skin that’s stronger, firmer, and more resilient, that not only looks better, but stays healthier over time.
Now, after successfully defending critical levels and pushing higher, where must we hold to maintain this upward momentum? Where do we expect resistance moving forward?

Below, we’ll cover the actionable levels, how we played them today and what they mean for the next session.
The overnight defense just above 7096 and defense of 7121 in the regular session were key indications to get long and stay long. Always trust the levels.
Now we are sitting in after hours right on the key 7215 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
Overall, it was a solid 1% gain for the day, driven by slightly elevated but not extreme volume, indicating healthy participation from traders.
As we look forward to tomorrow, we have the manufacturing PMI data to consider, along with a light close to the week. Additionally, it’s important to keep an eye on developments in the Middle East, as these can impact market conditions significantly.
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!

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