ES Morning Update March 6thES has been stuck in the same range for nearly four days, with 5858-5875 acting as resistance and 5763 holding as support. Yesterday followed the same pattern—I was looking for a rally to resistance, we got it, and then the market reversed back down.
As of now:
• 5777, 5763-57 are key supports
• Reclaiming 5798 sets up a move toward 5809, 5822+
• If 5757 fails, expect selling to 5725

S&P500 & Bitcoin Dancing Off Key SupportsBy Eric Lee , Sales Director of Phillip Nova
The E-mini S&P 500 index futures are currently exhibiting a symmetrical triangle formation, a technical pattern that typically indicates a period of consolidation before a potential breakout.
The price is testing the lower boundary of this triangle, suggesting a possible breakdown. Additionally, the index is hovering near the 200-day moving average (MA), a critical long-term support level. A break below this MA could signal further bearish momentum, with the next significant support level based on the triangle formation around 5550.
The correlation between the S&P 500 index and Bitcoin has been a topic of interest, as both assets have shown periods of synchronized movements, particularly during times of market stress.
The recent drop in Bitcoin's price may be indicative of broader market sentiment, potentially foreshadowing a breakdown in the E-mini S&P 500 index futures. If Bitcoin's decline continues, it could exacerbate selling pressure in the equity markets, leading to a more pronounced downturn in the S&P 500 futures. Traders should closely monitor these developments, as a confirmed breakdown could lead to increased volatility and a test of lower support levels.
The ES/SPY Bottom May Be InDaily wick looks to indicate a bottom is in. This would be consistent with past bottoms. Big wick after mainly days of bearish movement. Sentiment is bearish. The tariffs are in, people are scared, the bulls have unwound. Retails is bloodied. Now big money comes in and buys low and squeezes the bears who think it will just keep falling. Remember T.I.N.A. too!
BTC & ES1! (S&P500 Futures) CorrelationBitcoin and the S&P500 are still showing correlation.
S&P500 Futures (ES1! ticker) has a gap about 3% lower.
I think we need to fill this gap (resulting in a bounce) for BTC to start moving with greater strength to the upside.
The gap is also in the range of the 0.5 Fib retracement (50% of that range).
This could see BTC come back to the lower 80k's region before we completely put in the local bottom.
ES Morning Update March 5thYesterday was the most volatile session in ES since August, with three 100+ point round trips. I was looking for a squeeze to 5875—we hit 5875 exactly.
As of now:
• Size down—volatility remains high
• 5798, 5784 are key supports
• A recovery of 5822 is needed to push toward 5858
• If 5784 fails, look for a drop to 5763, then new lows
ES Weekly Chart Analysis – Potential Medium-Term Top?The E-mini S&P 500 (ES) may have printed a temporary medium-term top at 6167.25, potentially initiating a Wave 4 correction (yellow circle). If this count holds, we could see prices retracing toward the 5115 area.
🔹 Key Levels to Watch:
✅ Bullish Bias: The trend remains firmly bullish until we start trading below 5715 and break the ascending channel's trendline.
❌ Bearish Confirmation: A decisive break below 5715 would strengthen the case for a deeper retracement, increasing the probability of a more extended correction.
🚨 No clear confirmation of the top yet! Until we see structural weakness, the primary trend remains bullish.

50-50 set up in the S&P 500 daily chartThe market will be focusing and scrutinizing on the Trump presentation to Congress. It will be searching for positive news with regard to tariffs, Ukraine and Israel. The expectation is the current lower levels would be attractive to buyers entering the market. However it will be the markets interpretation of the Trump presentation to Congress as the filter to determine if buyers will follow through.
Equity Prices Continue LowerAfter testing all time high levels in the ES contract on February 19th, equity markets have seen significant selling pressure which continued today while the precious metals saw a boost higher. One of the volatility drivers traders are seeing is coming from global tariff policies from the U.S. and many other nations adding uncertainty to the strength of these markets. Over the next few weeks, traders will learn more about the implementation of these tariffs and where the equity markets and precious metals may settle.
Over the last few weeks, the CME Fed Watch Tool has also shifted, and now is pricing in a 44% chance of a rate cut at the May 7th meeting of 25 basis points, where previous expectations were to see the a pause for the May meeting. This week offers a big slate of economic data as well, including ADP Nonfarm Payroll, Initial Jobless Claims, Unemployment Data, and the Fed Monetary Policy Report. This economic data could have an effect on the Fed’s stance on the economy and their plans for rate cuts moving forward.

ES Pump n Dump Trade IdeaMarkets have been bleeding relatively quickly here over the last few days. Price has recently hit the Weekly level and 1-1 extension from what might be a potential ABC correction. Would be nice to get some relief, potentially reclaiming the Value Area Low of the trend, and then the VWAP will decide if we trade back down, or potentially higher.
We are at some quite important key levels here, losing them would truly expand the range with some room to drop to the downside.

ES Morning Update March 4thYesterday, the breakdown short idea I mentioned at 5938-42 triggered a 100-point sell-off in ES. Coming into today, as noted in the plan yesterday evening, losing 5850 would set up a sharp short trigger—and we just got it, dropping 25 points so far.
As of now:
• 5814, 5798 are next downside targets if selling continues
• To reverse and rally, 5857 must reclaim

ES Big Picture:
Despite increased volatility and risks mounting, looking at the daily chart shows that ES futures are still within range and trading above Nov 4th, 2024 and January 13th, 2025 low, however, 2025 mcVAH and R1 confluence has been acting as strong resistance and keeping the markets from reaching new all-time highs.
Despite the risks, our analysis suggests that with the U.S. economy showing resilience, a "buy the dip" approach remains favorable. However, staying selective and strategic with opportunities is key to balancing risk and reward.
Key Levels:
Key levels represent areas of interest and zones of active market participation. The more significant a key level, the closer we monitor it for potential reactions and trade setups in alignment with our trading plan.
2025 VAH: 6,150
2025 VPOC: 6,133.75
LVN: 6,113.25
Neutral Zone: 6,000 - 6,015
2025 VAL: 5,972.50
LIS/Yearly Open: 5,949.50
Neutral Zone: 5,916.50 - 5,927.25
Feb 2025 Low: 5,848
Jan 2025 Low: 5,809
Scenario 1: Range bound week
Market remains volatile, however, within the neutral zone below key LIS/yearly open and neutral zone above Key LIS/yearly open.
Scenario 2: Weak data points slowing economy
Worsening economic data points along with progress in Ukraine- US minerals deal points towards further buying. Weaker data points may provide room for further rate cuts should economic weakening further materialize.
Scenario 3: Mounting risks and weaker economic data
On the contrary, mounting risk and weaker economic data may point towards stagflation as inflation remains sticky while the economy weakens. This provides room for further decline in ES futures.
