Wednesday August 26 2026 SPY SPX ES Actionable Levels
$SPX defends at exactly key support to run between levels in upwards consolidation. Where does $SPY have a shot at breaking out?
In yesterday’s letter, we wrote:
For tomorrow, we’re closely watching the key SPX levels of 7636, 7654, 7684, and 7710. The market remains trapped in a sideways consolidation, but if we can remain above 7654 (the chop zone) and push above 7684…If we lose 7636and can’t quickly bounce back above, we’ll flip short””
This is what happened. Today’s market opened strong, defending the critical 7636 level overnight exactly, which was essential to remain within our chop zone. We bounced back impressively, reaching a high of 7686.11 near the opening bell, right at our 7684 upside threshold. This level proved to be a key point of interest and ceiling, allowing us to consolidate comfortably above 7654 while maintaining below the breakout level at 7684. $SPY ( ▲ 0.32% ) $SPX ( ▲ 12.5% ) $ES_F ( 0.0% )

Trading Plan
Today was a solid .3% up day, reflecting strong defense of support levels and encouraging consolidation above the chop zone.
As we look ahead to tomorrow, we have key PCE data and GDP figures set to be released, along with at least one FOMC member speaking during the session. It is crucial to keep an eye on these events, especially given the ongoing concerns regarding trade wars, as they could significantly impact market direction.

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…
