S&P 500 Futures ($ES) Analysis & Trade Plan – Thursday

Market Overview & Author's Sentiment (Jamar)

• Overall Sentiment: Bullish unless key support levels fail.

• Current Market Context:

  • $ES is in a three-week consolidation range between 6020-6125.

  • The failed breakdown at 6020 on Sunday and after CPI has triggered a bullish move.

  • The market structure suggests a bull flag continuation unless a breakdown occurs below 6020.

  • 6066-70 has been the magnet level, frequently tested and serving as a pivot.

• Key Catalysts:

  • PPI Data at 8:30 AM (high impact news event).

  • Market reacting to inflation data and macroeconomic conditions.

Bullish Scenario (Probability: 85%)

✅ Conditions for a Bullish Move:

• Bulls must defend 6020-22 on any sharp pullbacks.

• Ideal scenario: Flagging above 6066-70 or a test of 6058 followed by recovery.

• Breakout Confirmation: Move past 6098 → 6104 → 6125, leading to a breakout.

📌 Bullish Trade Plan:

• Entry 1: Buy 6066-70 reclaim (safe entry)

• Entry 2: Aggressive long if 6058 holds with a bounce.

• Targets: 6098, 6104, 6125

• Ultimate Targets: 6139, 6160-65, 6184

• Stop Loss: Below 6020 (range break invalidates long bias).

✅ Bias: Bullish (85%) – Consolidation structure favors upside. ✅ Trade Setup:

• Day Trade: Long at 6066-70 or 6058 support.

• Swing Trade: Long targeting 6125+

• Key Target Levels: 6098, 6104, 6125

• Stop Loss: Below 6020

📊 Risk Management:

• Trailing stops at 6087 if long.

• Avoid counter-trend shorts unless breakdown confirmed.

• Be cautious around PPI release at 8:30 AM.

🚀 Conclusion: The highest probability trade is a long position at 6066-70 with a target of 6125+. A breakdown below 6020 would invalidate this thesis, triggering a sell-off to 6008-5957.
