MES Short🔴 High Risk Short Bearish Market Structure Shift caused by price meeting origin of Daily MSS from Mar04. Trade mapped on the hourly timeframe; focusing on impulsive swing high at $5956.25 that created MSS. Entry on measured 61.8% fib retracement @ $5914.75. TP1: $5873.25 (1R) TP2: $5822.25 (2.25R) Second take profit level lines up with both 200SMA + bullish 4H channel support , adding confluence to trade idea. It stands to reason price will retest the support of a longstanding bullish channel. Notes: •Stops moved to BE once TP1 hit •Trade is high-risk due to SL having no significant higher timeframe importance. The reason I’m focusing on this leg of price action rather than the 4H high at $5993.25, is because this hourly high specifically created the higher timeframe MSS. It suggests there’s an unusually high amount of sellers at that level.

Equity Prices FallingEquity indices selling pressure is continuing from yesterday, with Russell leading the way to the downside being down over 2.5% on the session while the S&P and Nasdaq both were about 1.5% lower. Looking at relative strength on a daily basis for the S&P, the market was trading at the highest level since July of 2024 after having 6 consecutive days of trading higher. Gold and Silver also traded higher on the session over 1% and have marked a higher high each of the last 3 trading sessions. Crypto futures also traded higher on the session with Bitcoin and Solana leading the way, with Bitcoin hitting a new all time high price of $110,175. Relative strength is also relevant for Bitcoin on a daily basis as the level has not been this high since December of 2024. Tomorrow, more economic data will be released looking at PMI and Initial Jobless Claims. Initial jobless claims for 2025 have been directly in line or better than expected 14 out of the last 20 reports, and this report has 3rd highest forecasted number of the 2025.

S&P 500 | Blue Box as Margin of SafetyWhen the index returns to the blue box, it reaches a zone forged by genuine buying interest and technical alignment. In a disciplined, data‑driven approach, this area serves as our first line of defense. Why It Matters • Past reactions show price pauses and reversals here, revealing real demand. • It coincides with key footprint volume clusters where buyers have stepped in. Entry Criteria Higher‑Time‑Frame Stability Confirm price holds within or above the blue box before considering a position. Lower‑Time‑Frame Confirmation Wait for clear breakouts or higher‑lows on short‑term charts backed by rising footprint volume. Strict Risk Control If price breaks through without retest or volume support, stand aside and seek a clearer setup. By treating the blue box as our margin of safety and relying on actual volume footprint data, we trade with prudence and let the market’s real signals guide our decisions. 📌I keep my charts clean and simple because I believe clarity leads to better decisions. 📌My approach is built on years of experience and a solid track record. I don’t claim to know it all but I’m confident in my ability to spot high-probability setups. 📌If you would like to learn how to use the heatmap, cumulative volume delta and volume footprint techniques that I use below to determine very accurate demand regions, you can send me a private message.

How to Manage Slippage on TradingViewThis tutorial explains what slippage is and how it relates to market and limit orders as well as times when you might expect higher than normal slippage. Disclaimer: There is a substantial risk of loss in futures trading. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Please trade only with risk capital. We are not responsible for any third-party links, comments, or content shared on TradingView. Any opinions, links, or messages posted by users on TradingView do not represent our views or recommendations. Please exercise your own judgment and due diligence when engaging with any external content or user commentary. Stop-loss orders are submitted as market orders and may be executed at prices significantly different from the intended stop level, particularly during periods of high volatility or limited liquidity. Stop-limit orders carry the risk of not being executed at all if the market does not reach the limit price. It is important to understand that neither type of order guarantees execution at a specific price. Market conditions can change rapidly due to scheduled or unexpected news events, and even quiet markets may experience sudden disruptions. These factors can affect trade execution in ways that may not be predictable or controllable.

Yearly Open in Play — Is This the Real Bull or Just a Bounce?CME_MINI:ES1! Macro Recap Late Friday, Moody’s lowered the US’s sovereign rating from AAA to Aa1. This reflects a unanimous downgrade of the US, joining S&P and Fitch in stripping the US of its AAA status. Would this result in a sell-off? In our analysis, and consensus from the Street, is that it will be contained since the downgrade puts Moody’s in the same camp as S&P and Fitch. There are talks of renegotiating UK–EU trade deals, which has boosted cable. On the geopolitical side, not much has changed. Ceasefire talks are ongoing but stuck in neutral. No new catalysts—yet. The spotlight, however, is firmly on the Fed. Over the weekend, President Trump called on Chair Powell to cut rates “before it’s too late,” echoing a post from April 17th where he labeled Powell’s speech “a complete mess” and added, “Powell’s termination cannot come fast enough.” With a packed schedule of Fed speakers this week, the real question is whether they’ll double down on the Fed’s independence—or bend toward political gravity, especially with Trump reportedly eyeing the top job. Economic data is light. That puts full attention on the Fed and headline risk. Traders should stay nimble and alert. Momentum could shift fast. Markets are now pricing in two cuts of 25 bps each for September and December 2025. This is very different from market pricing one month ago, when reciprocal tariffs were announced. Monitoring rate cut expectations is another key theme this week, with multiple Fed speakers scheduled. ES Futures ES Futures have been one-time framing up — i.e., creating higher lows — on the weekly timeframe. ES Futures have also created higher highs. Key Levels: • March 2025 High: 6052.50 • 2025 Yearly Open: 6001.25 • Previous Week High: 5977.50 • Previous Week Mid: 5856 Bull Market—or Just a Bear Bounce? That’s the question traders are asking. From our perspective, this looks like a recovery from a trade policy shock. The market took the hit, recalibrated, and bounced back. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. After a move this strong, some pause is natural. We’re watching for potential consolidation or profit-taking, especially with price action still holding below the yearly open. Caution is warranted here—momentum’s in play, but the structure hasn’t fully confirmed the shift. Scenario 1: Another Up Week, Capped by Yearly Open In this scenario, the rally will be contained as the yearly open remains a strong pivot and resistance zone. The LIS (Line in the Sand) for short trade opportunities is the yearly open pivot. Scenario 2: Range-Bound Week In this scenario, we expect markets to consolidate, remaining above last week’s low and finding support at the prior week’s mid-range. We will look to initiate longs from the previous week’s mid-range, looking for level-to-level scalping opportunities in a range-bound market.

Time to short MES (S&P500) - CRASH in comingThe assumptions are: 1) The economy is slowing down. Employment data will show it shortly and convincingly. Therefore a summer or fall crash is very likely. 2) The top for S&P 500 is already in. There is always the possibility for a melt up before the crash but I think the melt up has already occured. 3) The next drop will fall below the 2022 low and above or near the covid low. 4) This is obviously not going to be as clean as depicted but the drop is going to be fast and between 40 to 50% from the 2024 top. 5) This is a swing trade over a 6 months to 18 months timeframe. 6) Trump is going to keep messing with the tariffs until the damage to the economy takes a very long time to recover. Markets will discount this at a higher interest rate which will be very harsh for the markets. I am starting to take positions now and will add if it moves up.
