7/2 Trade Plan

Bias · Bullish Above 7532 / Breakout Above 7600 Building Above Moving Averages

Key levels

7630–7648Resistance · ATH Zone
7585–7600Resistance · ⭐ Major Supply
7576Resistance · Overnight High
7532–7539Support · ⭐ 20 & 50 DMA
7506Support · Yesterday's Low
7472Support · FOMC Low

Context

ES continues building above both the 20 DMA (7532) and 50 DMA (7539) after successfully defending yesterday's lows. Overnight buyers maintained higher prices, suggesting accumulation rather than distribution. The key question today is whether buyers can convert this strength into a reclaim of the 7585–7600 supply. Until then, expect responsive buying on pullbacks and respect the first test of overhead resistance.

★ Prime Setup

7532–7539 Hold Long

Trigger
Pullback into the moving averages followed by responsive buying.
Target
7576 → 7600
Invalidation
Acceptance below 7506.

A+ Setup

7600 Reclaim Breakout

Trigger
Acceptance above 7600 followed by a successful retest.
Target
7630 → 7648 (ATH)
Invalidation
Failed reclaim back below 7585.; Why it matters: Clearing 7600 removes the largest remaining supply zone and opens the path back toward all-time highs.

B-Tier Setup

7585–7600 Rejection Fade

Trigger
Price tests supply and fails to gain acceptance.
Target
7539
Invalidation
Acceptance above 7600.

Avoid

  • Chasing longs directly into 7585–7600 resistance.
  • Shorting first touch into the 20/50 DMA support.
  • Fighting the trend while price holds above the moving averages.
  • Assuming every rejection at 7600 is a trend reversal.

Confirmation

  • VWAP aligned above 7532
  • Delta confirms participation through 7576
  • Acceptance above reclaimed levels
  • Break-and-retest structure holds
  • No first-touch chasing into 7585–7600 liquidity
