ES - September 4th - Daily Trade Plan

2 days ago

September 4th - 6:45am EST

In yesterday's post I said "Ideally, we need to hold the 6426 level or flush and reclaim quickly. IF, price can't rally above 6476, my lean is we are in the midst of a change in character of price, and I will be looking lower for levels to flush and reclaim."

We chopped around all day and ended up breaking below the white trend line to 6426, got bought up and then rallied at end of day. Institutions bought it up and we ended up close to the highs of the day.

Couple of things about how I color code my levels.
1. Purple shows the weekly High/Low
2. Red shows the current overnight session High/Low
3. Blue shows the previous day's session High/Low
4. Yellow Levels are levels that show support and resistance levels of interest.
5. White shows the trendline from the August lows.

What is the game plan for today?

Overnight the low was 6454 with us coming into session highs at 6473.75. Ideally, we can flush 6454 and reclaim for a level to level move higher. IF, price sells off below 6454, we will probably need to head back down to the white trendline which is the 6438 level. 6438-6454 will be a chop fest.

Immediate Resistances - 6473, 6476, 6485, 6491 (Weekly High)
Immediate Supports - 6458, 6454, 6438, 6426, 6412

Ideally, we lose 6454, flush and reclaim for a move higher. I expect another choppy day, and we need to clear 6491 to keep this rally moving higher. We also have employment report out tomorrow am. My lean is we keep chopping up today as we head into the report at 8:30am tomorrow.

Note

1:25pm EST - Update

Price dropped down to 6456.25 this am around 10:16am and took off higher. You can look at a 4hr chart and see the institutional accumulation that has been happening. You can look at my weekly trading plan in which I stated "
I do believe we can still rally up to 6547, 6563+ this week, but IF, we lose the 6369 level, that would be a big blow to bulls, and it would need to be sharp reclaim back inside the white trendline to keep momentum."
What did institutions do so far this week? Flush the white trendline, run stops, accumulate and we are heading higher. 6496 is the next big resistance with 6508, 6523, 6547, 6563 still in play. Price needs to hold 6455 with 6428 being the lowest for us to keep moving higher. Employment report out tomorrow am. I will send out my trade plan this evening once market closes and has a chance to settle out at the open.
