#ES_F Day Trading Prep Week 2.16 - 2.21

529
Last Week :

Sunday Globex again opened on a gap down just like previous week but this time it opened right at lower VAH and got a push back into over 6074 - 54 Edge. Holding over 6050s and inside/over the Edge meant stability for the market which brough in more buying but as we can see it took us a whole week of consolidating under VAL before we were able to push into upper Value towards the end of the week. We pushed into the Mean right up against our previous Supply area and that served as good resistance to keep us in small balance to finish the week on Friday.

This Week :

Tricky spot we find ourself in this week, on higher time frames like Monthly we are having inside month, weekly we are still holding sideways/up trend inside this 6230s - 5950s balance but one thing to note is we have mostly been back and forth between this balances Mean area and the low, so far dips under the low kept getting bought but we are not really getting any upside or holds over the Mean areas which could mean no acceptance inside it to cause continuation towards the top. On Daily TF we have been holding over between the Daily upper Edge of 6073 - 43 and upper Daily VAL of 6144 - 25 where we found balance to end the week on Friday.

Going into this week we are again inside the Value of this 6074 - 6195 Hourly's range and there are few things we can watch from here. If the market has truly accepted inside this range then we may hold inside the Value which will mean ranges will tighten up and we look to balance inside Current Intraday Range of 6155 - 6114, we have supply over 6144 so any pushes over it towards 6155 could find their way back into the Mean and we could see covering under 6125 over VAL. BUT something we have to watch out for is IF we again fail inside this Value and get into/under VAL this will be our first signal for a failure which can bring in weakness towards lower Edge, IF that happens and we find ourself inside lower Edge under 6074 - 60s that would confirm the failure and may bring in more weakness for market to try and go find Value lower, we do have lots of HTF stops lined up under us which would keep bringing weakness if we start taking them. We don't have any market moving data until Fed on Wednesday which could mean a slow start to the week and we must be careful forcing for downside IF we are holding over VAL because that keeps us stable. Of course IF we do again open on a gap down like we did last 2 weeks then that could change things BUT this time around IF we do then we need to be careful looking for a full return back like we had last 2 times.

For more strength out of this Value we would want price first show us holds over 6144 AND find stronger buying that can take us into/over upper VAH, until this happens we really need to watch out over 6140 as we may finish this month either inside +/- month inside this Value under 6160s OR since its our 3rd month in these areas without any upside, we could see size sell us back down towards Monthly balance lows which are down at 5950s.
Note
VAL held todays test as we had short covering after the flush, as mentioned we need to be careful over 140 this week as pushes over 44 will keep coming back into mean, for more strength market needed to push through VAH and hold over 160 which we did not. We have a failure over Monthly Highs at ATH, have been building supply all week inside and over the mean, today we flushed the supply into VAL and had good enough covering there to hold over and get later in the day rotation back into the mean. From here of course market could hold and continue balancing but we must remember under 44-40 we could see continued weakness and after day like today we might see continuation to the weakness going into tonight/tomorrow and we would aim for a possible move back towards VAL and IF we get enough volume we can try to push out of VAL towards the Edge. If we are to continue balancing inside current intraday range we would hold over 125 - 29 area but careful as size will break it and could send us towards 6114 - 09 and IF that goes and we can stay under this time around this would open the door for lower stops into 6098 - 94 // 84 - 80 and for anything bigger from there we would need to get into lower Edge under 6074 - 64
