Comment:

ES getting pressured on the first day of the New Year due to big drop in AAPL and pressure on the Mag 7. Now trading below the 9 ema. If unable to reclaim the 9 ema during the cash session a move down to the 21 ema is likely.

Comment:

$ES_F came close the 21 ema downside target. Price likely to retest this low or a little deeper to the July 27th high. Good chance we get a strong bounce from the bottom of the green box. Careful of a flush below and then hard reversal. FOMC minutes due out at 2pm est / 11am pst.

Comment:

$ES_F The July 27th high target to the downside has been achieved. Seeing a good bounce from the bottom of the green box. Expecting solid support here but there is room below to the 236 Fib RT and Sept 1st high if the bearish trend continues.
NFP on Friday.
