1 Ağu 2023

Not

$ES_F continues to be stuck just below the 786 Fib trading sideways. Market waiting on more info. May not see a signifant move until we get earnings for AMZN and AAPL. Trader hesitant to commit. Focus on scalp plays until something cracks.

2 Ağu 2023

Not

$ES_F Well something cracked. Rejected harshly off the 786 Fib and now trading back at the 21 ema. Has already broken the upward trendline. If it fails to hold the 21 ema a move back to the Aug 16th high is possible.

4 Ağu 2023

Not

$ES_f Hanging on to the 21 ema by a thread trading below the green support box. Price needs to reclaim the 21 ema for bullish recovery. Expect bearish price action below the 21 ema and more bullish above. AAPL reaction to earnings was negative but 10 yields have pulled back and AMZN is strong.
