Wednesday January 28 2026 SPY SPX ES Actionable Levels

$SPX defends the bullish hold level overnight precisely before big run in session. FOMC up next-where does $SPY need to hold?

In yesterday’s letter, we wrote:

For tomorrow, we’re closely watching the key SPX levels of 6888, 6912, 6947 and 6961 as the market digests today’s move and sets up for its next leg. Our bias remains bullish as long as critical supports hold and we stay in sync with the macro trend…a clean hold above 6947 overnight would also serve as a long trigger. Once we clear 6961 (which we couldn’t do today), the path higher opens to 6974

This is what happened. The levels played out. After an overnight dip, we defended the key bullish level at 6947 precisely, which set the stage for a strong move higher. The market then rallied all the way up to 6974, confirming our bullish bias as long as critical supports held. $SPY ( ▲ 0.5% )  $SPX ( ▲ 0.54% )  $ES_F ( 0.0% )  

See how well the levels work?

Trading Plan

Overall, we experienced a solid .4% move higher today, albeit on lower volume, suggesting that while the upward momentum is there, the market may be cautious ahead of significant economic news.

For tomorrow, all eyes will be on the FOMC, particularly the statement and press conference. Traders should be prepared for potential volatility as the market digests any hints regarding future monetary policy. Watch for a trend change during or post-presser!

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…
