Monday January 5 2026 SPY SPX ES Actionable Levels
$SPX cannot reclaim key level and falls only to end flat. Is $SPY consolidating before another run?
In yesterday’s letter, we wrote:
For Friday, we’re closely watching the key SPX levels of 6816, 6847, 6861, and 6890. The market remains at risk of a continued slide unless we reclaim and hold 6890, so we’re in no rush to add aggressive longs until that level is cleared. Intraday longs could be considered on a defense of 6832 or on a push through 6861, but the primary bullish thesis requires a sustained move above 6890…
Conversely, a break below 6816 would shift the bias bearish”
This is what happened. The market encountered significant resistance at the 6890 level. Despite a high of day reaching 6894.87 in the morning, we were unable to maintain momentum above that critical threshold, which triggered a decline down to a low of 6824.31. This drop aligns perfectly with our expectations, as we highlighted the importance of holding above to maintain a bullish stance. $SPY ( ▲ 0.72% ) $SPX ( ▲ 0.69% ) $ES_F ( 0.0% )
See how well the levels work?
But what can you actually DO about the proclaimed ‘AI bubble’? Billionaires know an alternative…
Sure, if you held your stocks since the dotcom bubble, you would’ve been up—eventually. But three years after the dot-com bust the S&P 500 was still far down from its peak. So, how else can you invest when almost every market is tied to stocks?
Lo and behold, billionaires have an alternative way to diversify: allocate to a physical asset class that outpaced the S&P by 15% from 1995 to 2025, with almost no correlation to equities. It’s part of a massive global market, long leveraged by the ultra-wealthy (Bezos, Gates, Rockefellers etc).

Now, as we look ahead, the question remains: can we reclaim where we need to next week? What key levels should we focus on as we navigate this uncertain environment?
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 failure to reclaim and hold the 6890 level triggered a decent drop before defending and bouncing. Those that chose to trade long on this defense and run through 6832 support also were rewarded. Always trust the levels.
Now we are sitting in AH right on the key 6858 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 action was primarily a consolidation day, which allowed traders to reassess their positions. The defense of the 6832 level was a strategic move, proving beneficial as it led to a bounce back to 6858 by the close. This highlights the importance of having clear levels to trade against.

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…
