Last Friday, we witnessed a bullish breakout in ES. The movement was anticipated and played out well, running over 100 points from the day's low right to the final target of 4348 and beyond. The ES reclaimed its core bull market trendline from October 2022, which was necessary to set a low.

Major Global Catalysts

Israel-Gaza war raises global tensions amid knee-jerk reaction from financial markets.

Key Structures

Zooming out, ES accomplished a couple of things last Friday: It put in a failed breakdown and reclaimed its core trendline from October 2022. This means for next week, bulls firmly control as long as we are above the 4310 (4295 absolute lowest) zone.

Support Levels

4348 (major), 4336, 4322-25 (major), 4310-08 (major), 4295, 4290, 4278-80 (major), 4265, 4254, 4245 (major), 4227-29 (major), 4213-16, 4205 (major).

Resistance Levels

4348 (major), 4358, 4366, 4377-80 (major), 4388, 4400-05 (major), 4418-24 (major), 4438 (major), 4448, 4455, 4463 (major), 4472 (major).

Trading Plan

For today, I will be sitting back and letting price discovery play out. My general lean is we can see some retracement/pullback, then ultimately head up to 4366, 4377-80. Likely dip there. Bulls cannot see lower than 4310-13 on any dip though. If we get a good tradeable bounce at 4310-13 though, followed by acceptance of the zone, something like 4304 may represent a higher risk breakdown entry trade.

Wrap Up

Bulls stepped in on cue last Friday reclaiming the core rising trendline from 2022s low. Predictability after a large move like this is very low, and I will be sitting back today and letting price discovery play out. My general lean is we can see some retracement/pullback, then ultimately head up to 4366, 4377-80. Likely dip there. Bulls cannot see lower than 4310-13 on any dip though.
