Tuesday May 19 2026 SPY SPX ES Actionable Levels
$SPX loses key supports twice to take a trip down only to defend into the close. Where does $SPY head Tuesday?
In Friday’s letter, we wrote:
For Monday, we’re closely watching the key SPX levels of 7381, 7393, 7421 and 7446. With today’s drop still fresh, we’ll let Sunday futures and the Monday open shakeout set the tone. If we bounce and recover 7421, we want to be long on that move (about 5 points above the level and holding), targeting an initial run through 7433…If we drop below 7393and are unable to bounce back above it, we want to flip short for moves down to 7381 and 7365, with further downside to 7349.”
This is what happened. After an overnight drop below the critical 7393 level, we managed to defend 7365 before staging a rally all the way back up to 7433. However, during the regular session, we lost 7393 once again, leading to a rejection from below and a decline down to a low of 7353.17, just above the significant support at 7349. The market then rallied back into the close, finishing just above the 7393 support once more. $SPY ( ▼ 0.07% ) $SPX ( ▼ 0.07% ) $ES_F ( 0.0% )

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…
