Monday February 23 2026 SPY SPX ES Actionable Levels

$SPX defends key supports multiple times and runs direct to upside resistance targets. $SPY primed to soar next week?

In yesterday’s letter, we wrote:

For tomorrow, we’re closely watching the key SPX levels of 6824, 6837, 6862 and 6879, and as long as our downside supports remain intact we’ll maintain a bullish bias wanting to get long for an eventual breakout. Ideal long entries come on a dip & defense of 6862 or 6837, or a direct defense at 6824, targeting an advance through 6867 into 6879; a clean break here opens up 6892, 6907

This is what happened. The levels we set out in our previous newsletter played out beautifully today. We witnessed a dip and defense at the 6862 SPX level overnight, which set the stage for a solid rally of 30 points, hitting our resistance target at 6892 precisely. Following some economic data releases, we dropped but managed to hold at the 6837 support level, allowing for a bounce back to 6862. Post open, we held right at 6837 support and pushed through the critical 6862 level, which led to a successful run through our upside targets at 6867, 6879, 6892, and finally reaching a high of day at 6915. $SPY ( ▲ 0.72% )  $SPX ( ▲ 0.69% )  $ES_F ( 0.0% )  

See how well the levels work?

Now, as we look ahead-are we setup and in position to breakout much higher? What are the key targets that point the way and what supports must hold to keep this possibility open?

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 continued defense of key supports and never losing the ‘must hold’ level kept us looking north for continuation higher. Always trust the levels.

Now we are sitting in AH right on the key 6906 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 was an impressive .7% up day on robust volume, particularly for a Friday.

As we prepare for Monday, we expect a lighter day with only one FOMC member speaking prior to the open and factory orders data being released post-open. Additionally, keep an eye on any developments from the White House regarding actions taken against Iran, as these could impact market sentiment 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 can not 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:

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