Tuesday February 17 2026 SPY SPX ES Actionable Levels
$SPX defends key supports and bounces but gives it all up in the afternoon to close flat. Where must $SPY hold after long weekend?
In yesterday’s letter, we wrote:
For tomorrow, we’re closely watching the key SPX levels of 6820, 6843, 6859 and 6884. After today’s loss of critical supports it’s risky to chase longs until we reclaim 6843, so the bias remains neutral-to-bearish into that level. A clean push and hold above 6843 would offer a long entry on a confirmed defense, targeting 6859 and 6871, with a break of 6884…
If instead we lose 6820 & cannot recover, we’d favor short entries into 6803…”
This is what happened. The loss of the 6820 must-hold level overnight set the tone for a drop to 6803 (exact), but we managed to defend that level and rally back to 6843 by the open. After the opening bell, we saw some volatility with a quick drop again, but the market found support and pushed through 6843, triggering the long entry we identified. This move took us through the targets of 6859 and 6871, nearly reaching the 6884 target at a high of day of 6881.96.However, following this rally, we consolidated sideways, eventually losing 6843 and defending off the critical 6820 level once more into the close. $SPY ( ▲ 0.07% ) $SPX ( ▲ 0.05% ) $ES_F ( 0.0% )
See how well the levels work?

Trading Plan
Today’s trading produced a massive range but ultimately closed flat on solid volume.
As we look to Tuesday (with Monday being President’s Day), we have the Empire State manufacturing index scheduled for release before the open, along with at least two FOMC members speaking in the afternoon. These events will be essential to monitor as they could influence market sentiment and direction.
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 Tuesday, we’re closely watching the key SPX levels of…
