Context
Overnight, ES pushed from 6,358 to 6,436 and is now slightly pulling back, holding near the highs. This suggests buyers are attempting to build higher lows, but we’re still trading below key supply. The main level to watch is 6,407 as support—if that holds, price can continue pushing into 6,454 and 6,483, with 6,490 as the only level that truly shifts momentum. Until then, this remains a prove-it environment, not confirmed strength, and failure back below 6,407 opens rotation back toward 6,350.
