3/4 Trade Plan

Bias · Neutral to Bullish V-recovery from Dec lows; watching 6,800 retest.

Key levels

6,930Resistance · Major supply; ultimate upside target.
6,873Resistance · Gap fill and Daily 20/100 SMA confluence.
6,850/6,857 — Thursday LOD; immediate supply.Resistance
6,800/6,804 — Primary pivot; prior resistance/reclaim zone.Support
6,771Support · December Lows; major structural floor.
6,750Support · September high; line in the sand.

Context

Market defended 6,771.50 (Dec lows) aggressively, sparking a vertical pre-market rally. Overnight, price pulled back from 6,849 to an ONL of 6,773.50, but buyers reclaimed 6,833 resistance. We topped out at 6,855 pre-market and are currently oscillating near 6,837. While the impulse is bullish, we are testing heavy supply. 6,832–6,837 is the immediate shelf to hold. If this fails, a deeper pullback toward 6,791 is the high-probability retest area. If 6,837/6,847 holds as a floor, the gap fill toward 6,870 becomes the primary target.

★ A+ Setup

Higher Low Retest

Zone
6791– 6804
Trigger
Clear acceptance OR rejection: Hold above 6791/6800 on pullback.; Timeframe close requirement: 15min candle close confirmation.; Confirmation condition: Bullish reaction (wicking or engulfing).
Target
6,833 → 6,855
Invalidation
Structural invalidation level: 6785; High-probability trend continuation play.

A+ Setup

Pop and Fade

Zone
6850 – 6857
Trigger
Confirmation needed: 5min lower high at supply.; Structural shift: Failure to reclaim/hold 6,850.
Target
6832 → 6791
Invalidation
Structural invalidation level: 6,865; Fading vertical exhaustion into heavy overhead supply.

Confirmation

  • 1️⃣ Directional timeframe close
  • 2️⃣ Reaction quality at key pivot
  • 3️⃣ VWAP alignment
  • 4️⃣ Trade only at structure extremes
  • No mid-range trades
  • No chasing
  • No emotional entries

Mindset

  • 6,850–6,857 decides direction.
  • Below = fade rallies.
  • Above = shift long.
  • Trade the rejection.
  • Trade the reclaim.
  • Avoid the chop in between.
  • SPY (15 Min)
  • If we can reclaim the 100 SMA today, we should see a gap close towards that Monday close at 686.38. That would be a nice reclaim long above the previous day high and the Friday low as well.
  • A pullback long would be at 678, the Monday low. That would be a nice spot to get a clean retracement and a better long entry. I would not short if we are above 674.

How it played out

The primary setup never confirmed, so there was no trade.

price never reached 6791. Measured from m15 bars, ESM6, confirm entry, touch-based invalidation. Not a fill, and not a return: see how this is measured.
