Context
ES is now testing the first meaningful pullback after the breakout run. : ATH: 7,540 ,ONL: 7,431 7,433 → 7,454 This zone matters because it combines: Tuesday HOD Monday HOD Previous breakout resistance Overnight structure If buyers reclaim and hold above 7,454, ES likely pushes back toward: 7,483 7,493 potentially retesting 7,540 If 7,433 fails: downside opens quickly into 7,400 then potentially 7,370 Key thing here: The market is still bullish structurally… but it is now extended enough that failed reclaims matter.

👉 Cleanest downside setup; 👉 Likely fast rotation lower
B+ Setup
Deep Pullback Reaction Long

Confirmation
- 1️⃣ 15m acceptance at 7,454 or 7,433
- 2️⃣ Reaction at extremes only
- 3️⃣ VWAP aligned
- 4️⃣ No chasing extension candles
- No emotional breakout chasing
- No random shorts above 7,454
- No trading middle
Mindset
- This is now a “prove it” environment
- Strong trends still pull back
- Let support confirm before committing
- One clean trade → done
- SPY (15 MIN)
- I would want a pullback long at the 740 spot on SPY. Without that, you are slightly extended past the best retest level. If we hold over PDH, we could just continue higher but to setup a proper new entry, wait for that Monday retest.
