Wednesday February 18 2026 SPY SPX ES Actionable Levels
$SPX consolidates in massive range. Where must $SPY hold to keep breakout hopes alive?
In Friday’s letter, we wrote:
For Tuesday, we’re closely watching the key SPX levels of 6799, 6830, 6841, and 6862 as the market absorbs this afternoon’s drop while defending critical support into the long weekend. Our bias is cautious‐neutral until SPX can reclaim 6830 and punch through 6841 with conviction. We will only initiate new long trades on a sustained break and hold above those levels.
A confirmed move through 6841 opens targets at 6862.
Conversely, a break below 6799 would flip us bearish toward 6785 and 6772”
This is what happened. Today was a rollercoaster as both bullish and bearish scenarios played out multiple times. We started with a dip but defended the critical support level of 6799. This allowed for a bounce back up to 6815 just before the market opened. However, the excitement was short-lived as we managed to push up to 6841 before facing a rejection, leading to a drop below 6830 and ultimately losing the 6799 level. This triggered a move down through 6785 and almost to our lower target of 6772 before the market found support and rallied back, pushing through 6841 to reach a high of day at 6866.99, just above our target of 6862. $SPY ( ▼ 0.57% ) $SPX ( ▼ 0.61% ) $ES_F ( 0.0% )
See how well the levels work?

Trading Plan
Today’s trading session ended as a massive consolidation day, finishing flat right above the important 6841 support level.

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…
