CME_MINI:ES1!   S&P 500 E-mini Futures
Description:

An analysis for the week ahead.

Points of Interest:

S&P $3,200 Balance; Multi-Week Consolidation; Close Above Mechanical Highs; Nasdaq Overextension; Financials Find Support.

Technical:

Broad-market equity indices balanced last week, evidenced by the responsive, tight trading range.

Recapping last week’s action, on Monday, the S&P 500 traversed higher and left minimal excess before balancing into the close. Tuesday’s session made an attempt for Monday’s high, near $3,180, but sold off, leaving value higher and closing just below the overnight low.

After a quick morning liquidation, Wednesday’s session rejected prices in the lower part of the balance area and left value overlapping, with a close at the highs. Thursday responded lower, after a quick push to the $3,170 area of resting liquidity, to and through a low volume area and the prior day’s low, before squeezing back into range. Despite the high gamma expiration suggesting many names could pin, Friday opened up around a composite high-volume area, within range, and attempted lower, before responding back through the open, and repairing earlier weak highs. bit.ly/3fp3gQT

Looking beyond broad market indices, the innovation-driven, technology-based sectors are extremely extended while relatively weak sectors, such as energy and financials, have found it hard to come by support.

Overall, the market is at an important level and will likely, based on its reaction to Friday’s close, experience volatility in coming sessions.
