SPY, QQQ, DIA – ML1/MS1- Results for 2/15/2026 – 2/22/2026

Posted on February 23, 2026

This week has been the worst performance of this year for the ML1/MS1 Levels in the SPY, QQQ, and DIA. This is typical of what happens when the market consolidates. I have decided to include a 5-day intra-day chart in this weekly results summary. This will help you study market behavior and help you make your own discoveries. This week, due to a holiday, there were only 4 trading sessions.

Monday, the SPY and QQQ both reached the MS1 Level in the first 30 minutes of trading. Both turned into Intra-Day Reversals, where the MS1 and ML1 were both reached in the same trading session. Both signals are counted on an Intra-Day Reversal day.

Monday had a fairly volatile Opening as all three ETFs ran towards the ML1, then reversed to the MS1 in the first 30 minutes of trading. The SPY and QQQ both rallied back to reach the ML1, creating intra-day reversals.

Thursday, the SPY and QQQ were both Narrow Range Days. A fast move is more likely to occur after a Narrow Range Day.

The Intra-Day Momentum Method

The Intra-Day Momentum Method is a more scientific approach to market analysis and risk management. It has been designed for intra-day trading. This method of analyzing market data has been applied to three market based ETFs from February 2022 to January 2023. In this book, Todd goes through the application of the model using eight different approaches. Each approach is analyzed and suggestions for increased improvements are offered.

During a brief career as a trader, Todd Hudson discovered that the analysis techniques used my most traders were inherently flawed. Oftentimes, the analysis resulted in guesswork. This often led to more questions than answers. After studying numerous methodologies and technical indicators, Todd decided to create a more scientific approach. This scientific approach would be based on risk management and historical patterns. This would allow traders to place trades using historical analysis of these patterns to determine future probable outcomes. The initial goal was to get a sense of the daily direction for intra-day trading.
