Thursday August 6 2026 SPY SPX ES Actionable Levels

$SPX gets a chop day after a massive squeeze. Where must $SPY hold tomorrow?

In partnership with

In yesterday’s letter, we wrote:

For tomorrow, we’re closely watching the key SPX levels of 7685, 7718, 7729 and 7747. As long as we keep holding key supports below us, we want to continue looking for areas to get long and stay long, whether that’s a dip & defense at 7729, 7718...From there we can push up through 7747 again and target 7767 and 7788.

This is what happened. Today, we witnessed a solid defense of the 7747 level overnight, which set the tone for a run-up through 7767 and 7788, ultimately reaching a high of day at 7793.68 right at the open. However, following this initial surge, we saw a drop and consolidation throughout the day, closing near the low of day 7720.17. This indicates a good consolidation phase after the significant upward momentum we experienced over the last two sessions. $SPY ( ▼ 0.2% )  $SPX ( ▼ 0.17% )  $ES_F ( 0.0% )  

See how well the levels work?

The defense of 7747 was crucial and allowed for a move higher, but today’s drop shows that we are vulnerable to pullbacks. Always trust the levels.

Now we are sitting in after hours right on the key 7720 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 market saw a slight drop of 0.17% on average volume.

Looking forward to tomorrow, we have key employment data to be released before the open, alongside at least one FOMC member speaking after the market close. These events could have significant implications for market direction, so staying alert is essential.

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!

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.

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