New trading day means new opportunities !
Gap down opening on the stock futures.
Seeing a bit of a bounce back up into the gap.
ER2 has formed what appears to be a possible V bottom on the 5 minute time frame.
In the ES, 1470 is a bit of resistance from overnight. Overnight singles from the gap at 1472.25 along with the prior day's LOD sitting there. ES 1473-74 looks like a resistance zone if the market is able to rally up to that level.
NQ is showing relative strength on the bounce.

markets stalled at the overnight resistance zone
ES formed a little double top at 1471.50 on the faster time frames. I did not take the setup, primarily due to that V bottom sitting down there off the open...I don't want to get into the mode of picking tops in a slowly creeping uptrend...thus will need to see a clear trendline break by the NQ and ER2 to shift to a short bias.

pretty choppy trading... third test of 71-72 zone was rejected with a bit more force that time

ok took a little long here in the NQ at 67.50
looking for ES to break the 71.50 barrier and wake-up some short covering

ES is testing 70.50 now, pulling my stop up just in case the market rejects the test...hoping for a punch through resistance...in either case this test should set the tone for the afternoon trading session.

just noticed on the all sessions 5 minute chart of the ES is showing an inverse head and shoulders pattern, our 1470.50 resistance level forms the neckline... a breakout should take us up to test the singles

ES has punched on through resistance and touched the singles at 72.25, so the initial objective of this trade has been met.

market trading back down through the 1470.25 neckline in the ES, suggests to me a retest of the morning lows may be in the cards this afternoon
