#ES_F 3.07.23 Day Trading Prep Monday 3.06.23 Review : Globex pushed us into the resistance area at 4061-56, RTH Opened on Gap up and buyers came in for continuation, we hit our upper early in the day and then consolidated below it. 4084-77 was our key area for continuation higher and we failed to take it out and showed weakness at it instead, until we built up enough Supply which gave us a nice short trade towards Previous Days range. Tuesday 3.07.23 Prep : Are we getting any move out today or staying in balance? We have Powell doing something at 10 and we are at an important location, we have few weeks of Supply above us over 4084 - 4100 and we possibly trapped enough shorts under 4030 - 4015 to give us Support. These are the areas to watch for a move out of this current 4077-4030 range. We have been going sideways in smaller range all night around this 4061-56 Resistance area and we have to see what we do from here. We are right in the middle of the range inside yesterdays value which tells us it could be choppy and also the range has been tight so far which is not ideal for trading until that changes. 4084-77 is still our Key Resistance for continuation higher and any break down would need to break and accept under 4030-25 for continuation, until then can stay in balance. Levels to Watch Resistance : Key Daily 4103-4084 Key Intraday 4084-77 // 4103-4099 Current 4061-56 Support : Key Daily 4012-3990 Key Intraday 4030-25 // 4012-08 Current 4046-42

#ES_F 3.06.23 Day Trading Prep Friday 3.03.23 Review : Friday Globex consolidated at Previous Day High, took the stops at night and we opened on a gap up over Previous Day High in RTH. Failed to closed the gap and gave a push towards the upper resistance target and a move above it into the next Supply area. Monday 3.06.23 Prep : What are our options today, Will this move higher hold and we can continue today? Was this short covering move front running bigger support and we will continue lower today to find more buyers or do we need to balance again before deciding next bigger direction? Globex is building stops above Previous day high inside our Supply possible Resistance area, we are under Daily Resistance with few weeks of Supply above that we have already flushed but not everyone sells at once. We are inside Previous Days Range, above T2 range with not much Support below us which means size will break the lower levels if we find sellers up here today. If we dont have size sellers come in today at these higher areas and we can hold above 4030-25 and 4046-42 then we could see another attempt at 4061-56 and next resistance area above. If we fail to get over and Previous Day high and hold/continue higher we could see a move down towards Previous Day Half Back under 4030-25 level, that would be key area for continuation lower today, we do have some support under but if size sellers come in we can see us head for the Daily area we just broke out of around 4012-3990 which is also our T2 High area, if we do get there that would be the area to watch for acceptance in T2 range and continuation lower. Currently we are in 4077-4030 range and if we arent going to make a move out then we could also trade within this area from the edges. Levels to Watch Resistance : Key Daily 4100-4084 // 4084-61 Key Intraday 4061-56 Key For Continuation Higher 4084-77 Support : Key Daily 4012-3990 Next Daily 3915-3890 Key Intraday 4030-25 // 4012-08 Key For Continuation Lower 3994-88 // 3976-71

#ES_F 3.03.23 Day Trading Prep 3.02.23 Review : Globex broke 57-44 Support area and was holding under before RTH signaling weakness but that and 32-27 were important areas to stay under and break, RTH Open failed to break 32-27 then we got over 3944-40 and per our morning prep IF we hold 32-27 and managed to get over 44-40 and hold that opens the door for higher resistance target and we got a move back towards our Daily Resistance area around 3990. We failed to tag next Daily Support which tells us we got front ran by short covering. 3.03.23 Prep: Did we run out of supply and now ready to either hold or continue higher? Or was this move inventory correction from Wednesday close and short covering before Daily Support and we will head for that area again? Right now we are holding in our Daily Resistance area of 4012-3990, this and 3976-71 will be important areas to hold today for either balance or continuation over 4012 towards 4030. If we fail to accept in 4012-3990 area and get under it that will signal weakness and a possible move wards 3976-71 where we don't have as much Support under, if that breaks we can see a move lower again to test our T2 and Previous Days lows and possibly look below them. If we do hold 76-71 and are able to stay over 94-90 we can see a move higher towards the top of Daily Resistance at 4012-08 where we would watch for continuation above or not, that will be our Key Resistance area for today. Levels to Watch Resistance : Key Daily 4012-3990 Key Intraday 4012-08 Key For Continuation Higher 4030-25 Support : Key Daily 3915-3890 Key Intraday 3976-71 Current 3994-90 ?

#ES_F 3.02.23 Day Trading Prep 3.01.23 Review : Wednesday RTH Opened under 3976-71 which signaled possible move to our lower targets, we did do a full break of our 3957-44 Support area and tagged our target but did not see the full move down towards 3931-27. This is area of cost basis for size traders so we expect to see balancing action and buying around our Support areas, especially on first tests and so far selling is mechanical so we aren't breaking multiple areas at once. 3.02.23 Prep : Globex broke 3957-53 and sold off down to our 3932-31 target where we found Support. Currently we are in this 3955-25 balance under the supply from previous days, inventory is short from yesterdays close, we are under T2 range and trying to hold inside Previous Days Range. We are getting into next Daily Support area here so very possible to see stronger buyers and at the same time we have plenty of supply above still coming out it looks like, will we get continuation through our next Daily Support area today? or will we hold this current balance and maybe try to make a push back over 3957-53? So far looks like we are looking good for possible continuation but as we saw for past weeks it hasn't been easy and things have been taking a long time to set up and show direction unless we switch it up today. This 3957-44 area will be our Key Resistance today, holding under means continued weakness and can bring on a test of 3932-27, If we managed to break that we have juicy stops lined up below ready to be filled down to 3892 as that is the next Daily cost basis low. If we do accept back in Previous days range and can hold over 3944-40 that can give us a push back over this resistance area and we could look for higher targets but until then we should be expecting some balance at the lows or continuation. Levels to Watch Resistance : Key Daily 3957-44 Key Intraday 3957-53 // 3944-40 Key For Continuation Higher 3976-71 Support : Key Daily 3915-3890 Key Intraday 3937-27 Key For Continuation Lower 3915-10 *** We are Under a lot of supply and only buyers are shorts who are covering, if shorts see more supply they will drop the bid. IF we do happen to get down to 3900 area today with time left, IF 3890 breaks not much support there until 3870 and under.

ES_F 3.01.23 Day Trading Prep 2.28.23 Review : Tuesday Globex made a push back inside Previous Daily Support area of 4012-3990 before RTH where we found Supply and got our move towards 3976-71 where we found buyers first time around but managed to break it towards end of day. 3.01.23 Prep : Was end of day flush yesterday a move to take in more supply at lower prices and we can hold in balance today with possible move back inside Previous Daily Support and over? or will we see some continuation to Yesterday? Price has been holding under Daily Support which is signaling weakness but we can see we still have buying every push lower. Globex did give us open continue to yesterdays shorts, tagging our lower Support where we again found buyers to get us back over 3976-71. Today holding above 3976-71 which be somewhat of stability for us and if we can see a move over 3994-90 and accept back in Daily Support we could see a move back towards Previous Day high and possibly over towards our bigger supply area above. IF We fail to get back over 3994-90 and make a move under 3975-71 We are watching to see if we can make a move under Previous Day low towards lower Support and if we can hold under 76-71 a possible move towards the other side of that range towards 3944-40 // 3937-27 where we would watch for next reaction. Levels to Watch : Resistance - Key Daily 4012-3990 Key Intraday 4012-08 // 3994-90 Key For Continuation Higher 4030-27 Support - Key Daily 3930-3890 Key Intraday 3976-71 Key For Continuation Lower 3957-53 // 3944-40

#ES_F 2.28.23 Day Trading Prep 2.27.23 Review : Globex pushed us back inside Previous Daily Support at 4012-3990 and we pretty much spent the day inside it with a look above and come back in, look below and end of day break but we still closed inside it. 2.28.23 Prep : Is 4012-3990 our Daily Resistance now or will we be able to stay inside it and push back out? We have Supply over 4030-25 and over 4012-08 now and still showing buyers under our Daily Support and the question today is are we going to stay in this Daily Support balance another day or are we going to make a move out of balance. Currently we are in our 4025-3976 range but it seems like value has shifted lower with Fridays move and its very possible to test Fridays low and maybe area under it at some point but for now we are Above T2 range and inside Previous Days Range, for a move lower we will want to see a move under 3994-90 and a break of 76-71 to get Inside T2 range and Under Previous Day low to give us more pressure for continuation towards lower Support targets. If we do hold 3994-90 today we can see a move towards 4012-08 and 4030-25 those are the Key Resistance areas to watch if we make a move there for continuation or reversal. We do have some data at 10am which may give us that move out of balance we are looking for and if not we trade within our current balance. Levels to Watch Resistance : Key Daily 4030-4012 Key Intraday 4030-25 // 4012-08 Support : Next Daily 3930-3890 Key Daily 3990-3976 Key Intraday 3994-90 // 3976-71

#ES_F 2.27.23 Day Trading Prep Friday 2.24.23 Review: Globex took out Daily Support and our 3976-71 Key Level for continuation before RTH and that gave us a flush down to our next potential support area, the way we opened it seemed like we could see continuation under that next Support but it was our first test and we didn't have enough to break it even though we were under T2 and Previous Days Lows which is telling us its still very mechanical selling down to our Support areas where we still have buyers without breaking too much structure at the same time. Monday 2.27.23 Prep: Friday closed right at our 3976-71 area with position below, Globex ran the stops over 3976, held above and we pushed up over Previous Day high into previous Daily Support for distribution. Question today is can this Globex move hold us inside 4025-3976 range and will we have more buying to push us over this Previous Daily Support? Or did we use Globex to make a run to Previous Support, sell what we bought Friday at higher price grab more supply and come back in under 3976-71 to give us a test of our next Daily Support area? We are currently inside T2 range, over Previous Day high with Globex inventory long over the close which tells us there is good chance to see some correction to the inventory and this is where we will see if we can hold and continue higher or accept back in Previous Days Range and maybe go for its low? Key Resistance area today is this Previous Daily Support at 4012-3990 wit all of the Supply above it, if we fail to accept over it or hold within the opens the door for a move lower back to 3976-71 to see if we actually have any Support there from Friday or not. If we do accept and hold over 3976-80 area without failing back under we can stay in this range and see a push towards the upper part of Daily Support and maybe a look above it, we have to remember current move was done in Globex and depending on RTH orders it can come apart pretty quick but we are in a weird market right now so we must watch Key areas for clues for continuation. Levels to Watch: Resistance - Key Daily 4012 3990 Key Intraday 4012-08 // 3994-90 Key For Continuation Higher 4025-30 Support - Key Daily 3927 - 3890 Key Intraday 3976-71 // 3957-53 Key For Continuation Lower 3944-40 **** We have some Data at 830, this market hasn't been easy to trade, must be patient and exit at targets unless shows continuation.

#ES_F Friday 2.24.23 Day Trading Prep 2.23.23 Review : Thursday Globex spent time building structure over our Key Daily Support, RTH Open made an attempt at our 4030-25 Key Intraday Resistance area for the day and failed giving us a very nice trade towards our Daily Support. After we broke 4012-08 we broke structure that was built over it and we got more selling hitting out 3994-89 target and tagging 3976-71 Level but no break and that was our Key Level for a continuation yesterday and instead we got a push back inside Daily Support and a move all the way back to 4025 Resistance WHAT a crazy market we are in but this is what we trade using STRUCTURE to show us the way. 2.24.23 Prep : Globex again opened over Daily Support and built structure over it, as we can see now we made a stop run towards 4025 but we still had plenty of supply over that area. Once we ran out of buyers and broke 4012-08 we again started leaking lower and this time we have less buyers under us because we cleared them out yesterday, we are back at our Key Support areas with data coming at 830. We have Supply above us, we are inside T2 range, inside Previous Day range. T2 and Previous Day lows are both at our Key Support areas, will we break them today and get continuation lower to next support or will we get a reversal to take out support OR spend another day in balance? Chances are good to see continuation lower but with this market we have to be careful and watch for continuation at our key location because reversal can be quick, depending on what we do at 830, today we have Daily Support at 4012-3990 which for now seems we are breaking, Key Support for continuation lower 3976-71 if we break and accept below we will find ourselves under T2 and previous days lows which could bring in more selling and our lower target could be 3957-53 // 3944-40 and Next Daily Support area around 3930 - 3890. For any upside to happen we NEED 3994-89 or 76-71 to hold AND get back over 4012-08 and HOLD then we can see a move back over 4030-25 and make upper resistance targets in play. So far our signs are pointing lower until shows otherwise. Levels to Watch : Resistance : Key Daily 4030 - 4012 Key Intraday 4012 - 08 // 4030 - 25 // 4046 - 42 Intraday ? 3994 - 89 Support : Key Daily 4012 - 3990 (currently broken) // 3930 - 3890 Key Intraday 3994 - 89 // 3976 - 71 // 3957 - 53 // 3930 - 3927 *** Careful trying to trade long if we are under T2 low because that can bring on margin call selling.

#ES_F 2.23.23 Day Trading Prep 2.22.23 Review: Wednesday Globex failed to continue lower, RTH Opened and failed to accept over 4012-08 and that gave us a test of 3994-89 bottom of our Daily Support where we found buyers on the first test. It was FOMC Day but things were still moving well. We did get another test and full break of 3994-89 which tells us we have supply but I think because it was end of day that instead of continuation we got short covering before the close back towards Supply without leaving our current balance area. 2.23.23 Prep: Daily Support held yesterday but are we getting a bounce, another tighter range balance day or continuation lower? We failed to break 3994-89 yesterday which told us we still had buyers and not enough supply at that time but do we have buyers strong enough to hold us and push us back over resistance? We know the buying yesterday was mostly short covering at Daily Support before the level break, IF today we cant get back over 4030-25 and get back under 4012-08 there is a very good chance to test that 3994-89 again and if we break this time we will again find us under T2 and Previous Day Lows which could bring further continuation to the downside if that will happen we can watch lower targets if we get under 3976-71 our lower Support areas will be in play. If we do hold 4012-08 and get over 4030-25 we can attempt a run our higher Supply area over 4046-42. If we fail to really get going anywhere today its possibly to stay in this 4012-08 - 4046-42 range as well, we watch level to level for continuation to either side. Levels to Watch: Resistance: Key Daily 4103-4084 Key Intraday 4030-25 // 4046-42 Key For Continuation 4061-56 Support: Key Daily 4012-3990 Key Intraday 4012-08 // 3994-89 // 3957-53 Key For Continuation 3976-71

#ES_F 2.22.23 Day Trading Prep 2.21.23 Review: Tuesday Globex made a move under Previous Day Low and our 4061-56 Support. RTH Opened, filled the gap and got continuation lower into our next Daily Support at 4012-08. The way we opened/drove made me think there is a chance to break Daily Support but market held after the break and that tells us that selling is still mechanical and that its just supply coming out no outside selling. 2.22.23 Prep: We are currently sitting on top of our Daily Support of 4012-3990, Globex made a move under 4012-08 took the stops but didn't have supply to tag 3994-89. Tricky day today with the Fed Minutes but we have some good references to watch. We are inside Previous Day Range and over our Daily Support and these will be key areas today, we are still under T2 range which means we should see more sellers at some point but we need to watch which areas they step in, if we don't have outside supply right now then then price could still head higher before finding sellers if sellers come in at all unless more volume comes in at RTH and they take it lower right away. We are at Support area and we have to treat it as such until broken. Right now 4012-08 // 4094-89 are our key areas for continuation lower and 4030-25 is what we will be watching to make a move higher. Our bigger supply areas for the day are over 4046-4061 and 4084-77 possible areas to watch where more sellers can step in if we get there. If Daily Support gets broken we will watch for possible targets down to 3976-71 // 3957-53 a potential area to find support. Levels to Watch: Resistance - Key Daily 4103-4084 Key Intraday 4084-77 // 4061-56 Intraday 4046-42 // 4030-25 Support - Key Daily 4012-3990 Key Intraday 3994-89 // 3976-71 // 3957-53 Intraday 4012-08 ? *** Caution as Minutes can bring big swings today at 2.

#ES_F 2.21.23 Day Trading Prep 2.16-17.23 Review: Thursday we failed to continue over 4170 and failed to hold 4143-37 which gave us a move to our lower target down at T2 low and a break of 4103-4099. Friday we opened at potential support area and were able to hold it during the day due to short covering before the weekend with a move back towards potential resistance towards the close but failed to get over it and get back towards 4100. 2.21.23 Prep: We are not counting Sunday/Monday action because of the Holiday. Currently inventory is short compared to Friday's close, we are under T2 low, barely inside Previous dat Range and are under Daily Support. Will we see continuation today and how far can we go? We will have to see what they got in store for us, we have now accepted in this 4080-4030 range, currently still have support at this 4061-56 area. Since inventory is short we might see some correction before or after open and from there we need to see if we will get a continuation move today or a reversal back towards 4100. For any move higher to sustain I think we would want to see price take out 4084-77 and base there before moving over 4100. For continuation lower we want to see us holding under 4084-77and eventually take out Previous day low and continue, Our next potential support is under 4030-25 which would be our next Daily Support at 4015-3990. The way we are looking today, we should see some continuation but anything can happen and we could balance some more. We have supply now but we also have shorts covering each step lower which is giving us these holds, until we see us run out of supply or a big bid come in direction could still be lower with 4030-15 and under an area where we could see buying. Levels to Watch: Resistance - Key Daily 4123-4100 Key Intraday 4084-77 // 4103-4099 Support - Key Daily 4012-3990 Key Intraday 4046-42 // 4030-25 // 4012-08 Current ? 4061-56 *** Treat today as Monday and it might need time to show the move this morning.

25 year monthly study of ESAnnotations included on the chart: This chart is essentially demonstrating just how far the market is capable of pulling back. The chart includes key levels and the years of notable highs / lows as well as + / - rejection boxes showing where price pivots as well as how perfectly, years later, price is capable of traveling far distances to perfectly tap back into an old rejection block. Most notably the 2020 pullback that perfectly filled the small rejection block created when price was finally able to make a break above in 2016.

SPX - The grind continues - plus AAPL, TESLA, AI, GEO, Nat GasDidn't get what I wanted to see today, that's trading for you. The possibility that we keep grinding higher for a week or more is certainly viable after today. Above we have the following - daily BB at 4190, Weekly BB at 4180, 100 weekly ma at 4215 and Monthly 18/20 at 4190 and 4210 respectfully. Some stocks like Tesla and AAPL seem to want to go higher after today and other stocks I'm watching also want to get a bounce. So there you have it, I was expecting something more but the market is simply not ready to drop. More grind will likely continue, even if we sell off tomorrow. I will keep watching and waiting for a definitive move down. Good luck!

#ES_F 2.16.23 Day Trading Pep 2.16.23 : Will not be trading next two days so will be brief. We are again over 4143-37 but failing to get over 4168-62 Resistance which is Key for continuation higher and staying in this 4215-4140 area. Today our Key levels to watch stay the same from yesterday but we have been building up under Resistance all night now, we do have data coming this morning so we have to see what we do but IF we fail to get continuation over 4168 means we cant get out of T2 or Previous day high and get more buyers to come in and we get under 4143-37 then our key Daily Support comes in question with our T2 low being right at key location around 4100. If we happen to break 4143-37 and get under 4123-19 we have 4103 and 4084-77 as possible targets and if we can hold under T2 low with time still left in the day then we watch for continuation under 4084-77. If we do get over 4168-62 we watch if we can move over towards 4191-85 and 4220-15 and IF the move can sustain it self or fall apart later. Levels to Watch: Resistance : Key Daily 4215-4191 Key Intraday 4168-62 // 4191-85 Support: Key Daily 4123-4100 // 4025-4012 Key Intraday 4143-37 // 4123-19 4103-4099 For Continuation 4084-77 *** We could spend the day in another grindy day between 4140-4190 area as well so have to watch out for that, and also if it will be slow most of the day then we watch for a break down or move out later in the day as it could be tricky before it makes a move.

#ES_F Wednesday 2.15.23 Prep Wednesday 2.15.23 : Yesterday after CPI it looked like we could get our continuation lower after we took out 4123-19 Support but we failed to even tag 4103-4099 Key area for entrance back into T2 range where short covering came in and gave us a push back over 4143-37 telling us there is still good Daily Support in that area but the move higher failed to continue or reach 4168-62 because we trapped good amount of supply over 4150 in the morning to hold us down. Can we see that continuation today? Very possible because market has been showing us for last few days that we now have supply but not yet enough to take out T2 areas and make more people sell out. Today holding above Daily Support of 4123-4100 will be a sign of strength and we are inside T2 Range right by the high. Today 4123-19 will be our Key Support only with its break we can see continuation lower, if we fail to get back to 4123-19 and get over 4143-37 our T2 high area that will put next Resistance and Previous Day high as a good target, if we can make a push past that at some point and hold then could see us go for the stops over 4191-85 towards 4220-15. On the downside if 4123-19 breaks we are looking at Previous Day and T2 low as targets and possible break and continue. Unless those break and continue we are staying in this smaller balance with 4143-37 being our middle, 4168-62 Resistance and 4123-19 Support. IF Daily Support breaks watch out to the down side. **** We Do have Data this morning and for now holding under 4143-37 so watch out if data flushes under daily support and holds then we could see a big down day towards 4000 area and we will not be looking for any longs. Levels to Watch: Resistance Key Daily 4215-4191 Key Intraday 4168-62 Current 4143-37 Support Key Daily 4123-4100 Key Intraday 4123-19 // 4103-4099 // 4084-77

ES looks bullish - pullback possibleWatching the SPX futures, I have my eyes on the roll/expiration dates for ES. This is mid-March (Mar 17). The trendline I have in white will likely break at some point. We can see some clean confluence that we've got a bit of resistance at this declining level. Are we going to see a new local low before we go up or are we going to go straight up from here? The key is that level. Shorting here has the best risk management with a stop loss if we start closing above this trendline. Target could be the pivot low from ~Feb 10. I'm not shorting yet, but if you are willing to give it a shot, you could do it right here at 4100. Again, set alerts because if we start closing hourlies above this trendline, you should probably get out and flip long targeting roughly 4200-4250.

#ES_F Tuesday 2.14.23 Prep Monday 2.13.23 Review: Sunday Globex pushed the market over our 4103 Resistance opened above it and we got a long move towards our supply area which is telling us there are still buyers at the cost basis at 4084-77 but even with both attempts over 4143-37 Resistance weren't as strong and didn't give much continuation or rejection, which so far tells us that this area over 4143-37 is heavier outside supply area and for now we are in balance here and still have shorts covering to keep us up. Tuesday 2.14.23 Prep: Currently over Daily Support, over T2 range and right around Previous Day High and waiting for CPI. Interesting spot we are in as we are sandwiched between Daily Support/Resistance in Distribution mode, can we hold up today and go higher? Will they use the data to run it higher and sell what they can before dropping the bid? or will we drop at CPI and either keep going or reverse and trend back up? Few different scenarios can play out but here is what we know. Our Daily Resistance area is 4215-4191 and Daily Support at 4123-4100 will be Key Locations to watch, any move into Daily Resistance we need to be careful with because unless we base under 4191-85 before taking it out or take it out and base above before taking out 4220-15 then it would be hard to sustain and keep up I think and we need to be careful for it to not reverse if we even go that way of course but we have to keep in mind its a larger supply area and if shorts see supply they will drop the bid and today if 4143-37 goes again that could give us lower targets down to 4084-77 which was already tested Thursday/Friday and might not have as much support this time around which is also our T2 low area. We are over T2 range and under supply so even with CPI we have to keep in mind that we could stay in a tight range still today without a big move out, something to watch out for if we just trade between the Daily Area. On the upside if 4143-37 holds today we have stops lined up over 4168-62 and 4191-85 those are good targets with possible move to 4220-15 if it stays strong. I will watch where the market will go first and make a decision from there. Levels to Watch: Resistance: Key Daily 4215-4191 Key Intraday 4220-4215 // 4191-85 Current 4168-62 Support: Key Daily 4123-4100 // 4000 Key Intraday 4143-37 // 4123-19 // 4084-77

SPX - chop till drop in '23More and more I'm thinking we may have sideways motion in the form a of a triangle on SPX. Weekly BBs are starting to show sideways action and lower weekly BB and MAs (200 weekly, 50 monthly) are all pointing to support around 3650-3600. This analysis is wrong if they can get over the August 22 high of 4325, which to me is doubtful. It's possible they ramp this one more time into the 4200s with CPI but it would only concern me if they could start getting over the 4325 mark. Anything over 4200 would be a gift to bears in my opinion. Many large cap stocks and other indexes are at a backtest of important resistance, a little higher would not be an issue. I'm thinking this could be the high for quite a while. If I'm right, a D leg down to 3600 would be followed by an E, but the E should not get over the current C leg high. Good luck!

#ES_F Monday 2.13.23 Prep Friday 2.10.23 Review: Friday we marked off this 4100-4075 area as our potential balance we needed to get out of for any continuation because we had our cost basis Support around this 4084-77 area. Globex did break the consolidation and flushed us down to next level down which we failed to break RTH pushed us back over 4084-77 Trapping morning shorts for daily Support. Was a hard day because after Thursday everyone expected either continuation or reversal back to 4120 and higher but we were under T2 high and had supply over 4100 - 4120 and strong enough support to hold us since it was big Daily area between 4123-4084 which gave us that smaller range to trade between 4103-4099 Resistance and 4084-77 Support which gave good moves when tested with a stop run over 4103 towards the close. Monday 2.13.23 Prep: Friday we stayed inside this 4137-4084 range, inside our Daily Support and we have been going sideways in Globex. We have been trapping longs building supply over 4140 since the start of the month but are we ready go come down yet or will we stay in this area longer? For now we can't say that the highs for this month are in yet but its very possibly, also very possible to stay within this months range and trade in this balance until we build enough inventory to get under and head for further away lower targets. For now have to trade within this distribution range and watch for when we are ready to move out. Currently we are at the same spot we were Thursday in the same balance box waiting for our move. Possibilities are endless today as we are in a funky area, Our main supply is over 4143-37 and 4123-19 which holding under means continued weakness for us but at the same time we are inside T2 range and inside or over Previous Day Range. If we get over Previous Day High and this 4100 Resistance this could give us support going into RTH to reach 4123-19 and maybe look above but we have to see how we act there if we can reach higher or run out of buyers because if we do then possible to turn around and get back inside the balance under 4100 and go for its low and if we break it we have Potential Targets at 4061-56 and under where we should find more short covering for support unless we are going down on big volume. Levels to Watch: Resistance: Key Daily 4220-4215 Key Intraday 4143-37 // 4123-19 Intraday 4103-4099 Support: Key Daily 4012-3988 Key Intraday 4084-77 // 4030-25 Intraday 4161-56 // 4146-42

#ES_F Friday 2.10.23 Prep Thursday 2.09.23 Review: Globex made a move over 4143-37 Resistance into next resistance at 4168-62 where we failed to hold and once RTH opened we corrected inventory back under 4143-37 and held under giving us a signal for short trade towards lower support targets 4123-19 // 4103-4099 // 4084-77. The way the day started was thinking that there is a chance to get under 4100 and with help of margin call selling push under 4084-77 but when we were still holding over 4100 before 2pm chances for that were slim but 4084-77 was still a good target to hit and test. We did fill the single prints from the Fed and now need to wait for next direction. Had some nice trades today, short from 43.75 area with exit around 84.50 would have been the trade. Friday 2.10.23 Prep: Previous session tagged 4084-77 Support and closed over it and now we are waiting to see what we will get next, continuation lower? another buy the dip? We are right at the edge of Key Support areas and can still expect to see buyers here, will it continue or hold somewhere around here and reverse later will depend on if its trapped supply coming out or outside selling. Right now we have to give it time and see what kind of structure it builds out to trade from. Going into tonight we watch 4103-4099 as Resistance and 4084-77 as Key Support and Previous Day Low. If we make a move under 4084-77 that opens the doors for a test of 4061-56 and if broken 4046-42 those two areas would need to be taken out for any continuation lower and to see our edge at 4030-25. For upside to play out we want to see buyers either at 4084-77 or strong buyers at 4061-56, our T2 low is at 4123-19 which is our Key Resistance for the day and we should have supply coming out from there which means we will only move there if we find strong buyers or run out of supply under 4103. If selling is not that strong watch for us to balance between 4103-4056 areas, Levels to Watch: Resistance: Key Daily 4214-4191 Key Intraday 4143-37 // 4123-19 Intraday 4103-4099 Support: Key Daily 4103-4084 // 4012-3990 Key Intraday 4084-77 Key For Continuation 4161-56 Next Key 4030-25 **** We are still in our bigger balance area and until we show a full move out we can stay in these back and forth this whole month unless we start breaking out of these daily areas and holding under/over. Time to be patient and strike when the move sets up.
