Context

ES held overnight support at 7372 twice and pushed aggressively higher into 7450. Buyers continue defending higher lows after reclaiming the 7400 area. Today's focus is simple: can 7404 turn into support? If buyers defend that zone, the path opens toward the 20DMA and potentially 7470+. If 7404 fails, look for rotation back into the stronger demand zone at 7354–7335.

★ Prime Setup

7404 Hold & Reclaim Long

Trigger
Pullback into 7404 followed by responsive buying
Target
7450 → 7475
Invalidation
Acceptance below 7386

A-Tier Setup

7335 Demand Long

Trigger
Flush into 7354–7335 demand followed by reclaim
Target
7404 → 7450
Invalidation
Acceptance below 7335

B-Tier Setup

7475 Rejection Fade

Trigger
Failure at the 20DMA after a push into resistance
Target
7450 → 7404
Invalidation
Acceptance above 7475

Avoid

  • Chasing longs directly into the 20DMA
  • Shorting directly into 7404 support
  • Trading the middle of the range
  • Forcing trades before confirmation

Confirmation

  • VWAP aligned above 7404
  • Delta confirms continuation through 7404
  • Acceptance above reclaimed 7404 structure
  • Break-and-retest holds at 7404
  • No first-touch chasing into 7475 liquidity
  • Acceptance above 7475 opens the path toward 7540
  • SPY 5MIN
  • Pullback long at the 736/738 is something to watch, retest of Wednesday highs. Below 736.62, we could see more downside into the 731.50/733. That would be a clean retest of the Thursday early morning high & Friday lows. I would only short on a fail below 731.58. If we reclaim the 20DMA at 745.34, we go to 750.
