Tuesday January 13 2026 SPY SPX ES Actionable Levels
$SPX dips Sunday Futures on Powell news but defends all the way back during regular session. Can $SPY build on it Tuesday?
In Friday’s letter, we wrote:
For Monday, we’re closely watching the key SPX levels of 6931, 6956, 6967, and 6989. After today’s run into resistance, we wouldn’t be surprised to see a retest of lower supports, but the bias remains to the upside. We’ll look to get long on any dip & defense of 6956 or 6943, and even a direct defense at 6931 would work…and could carry us through 6973 to target 6989.
If we lose 6931 and fail to reclaim, however, we’ll flip short into 6912.”
This is what happened. The market exhibited a fantastic performance today, with levels playing out as anticipated. We faced a challenging open due to the loss of 6931 overnight in Sunday futures driven by the Powell news. This triggered a drop in SPX down to our target of 6912 exactly. However, we managed to defend this level, leading to a bounce back to 6931 right at the open (low of day 6934.07). From that point, the market reclaimed 6931 and never looked back, triggering a strong rally that propelled us all the way to a high of 6986.33, just shy of our 6989 target. This resilience highlights the importance of sticking to our levels and maintaining a bullish bias, especially in the face of adversity. $SPY ( ▲ 0.16% ) $SPX ( ▲ 0.16% ) $ES_F ( 0.0% )
See how well the levels work?

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.




Both the loss overnight and reclaim of 6931 were key moments that set up entries to capitalize on directional movement. The better trade was the long on reclaiming and not dipping back below which led to a run of 55 points. Always trust the levels.
Now we are sitting in AH right on the key 6977 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 trading session ended virtually unchanged after a significant dip overnight, showcasing the market’s ability to recover.
As we look ahead to tomorrow, we have CPI data prior to the open and new home sales, along with a 30-year bond auction and at least two FOMC members speaking throughout the day. These events could create further volatility, so it’s crucial to stay alert and ready to adapt our strategies.

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…
