Context

Overnight, ES pushed aggressively to 6,847, now sitting: Above 50DMA (~6,808) Below 100DMA (~6,870) We are now in a tight decision zone between moving averages. Key level: 6,784 = must-hold support If this holds → continuation toward 100DMA (~6,870) If it fails → unwind back into 6,695 demand Key idea: Above 6,784 → momentum intact Below → pullback phase begins

  • One clean trade → you’re done
  • SPY (1 HR)
  • The Inverse H/S look we talked about played beautifully. That golden zone we had at 649.48/650.85 couldn't have been more spot on yesterday. Today, we are up into some major spots. The 680.86 & 100DMA will be tough to break above. We are also sitting right at some daily lows here between 676.57/675.79. Will have to wait to see the reactions at these levels & the 50DMA. If we fail the 50DMA, I could see us moving lower into 670/671 demand. I like that spot for pullback longs.
  • Below 670, we get the bigger drop into the 200DMA & 662 retest.

How it played out

The setup triggered, but neither the target nor the invalidation was reached by the close.

triggered, but neither level was reached by the close. Measured from m15 bars, ESM6, confirm entry, touch-based invalidation. Not a fill, and not a return: see how this is measured.
