ES1! Entry: ES ~ 6,476–6,481 (current). • Stop / Invalidation: 6,486.5 (hard stop, or any 5-min close above). • Targets: 6,471 → 6,466 → 6,458. Trim at each; move stop to breakeven after 6,471 prints.
ES1! Plan: Standing aside for now. After the run into 6500–6503 and the fade, we’re under VWAP with sellers pressing, but bids are layered 6480/6478/6476. Long only if we get a 5m bullish close inside 6476–6480 (or reclaim 6486–6488)—then I’ll target 6496 (6508–6510 on a clean rebreak + retest of 6494–6496). Short only if we get 15m close < 6472 and a 5m breakdown-retest of 6472–6476 from below; target 6460. Executing via SPX 0DTE options Δ≥0.60; protect risk (−35% premium or structure invalidation). No chase—confirmation first.
