7767.75Resistance · 1H lower high
7765.75Resistance · overnight high

Context

Thursday flushed to 7672.75 and recovered to close at 7726, inside a 7672.75–7741.25 day. Overnight held 7723 and rallied on positive delta to 7765.75, clearing the prior day high and both the 20DMA (7737) and 50DMA (7743). At 07:30 ES sits at 7764, right under the 7767.75–7786 supply that has capped every rally this week with lower highs (7786, 7782, 7767.75). The 7737–7743 moving-average zone is chop, not an edge: fade the supply on rejection, buy the 7708 demand on a hold.

★ Highest Probability

7767–7786 Rejection Short

Trigger
Push into 7767–7786 that stalls with sellers absorbing, then a 15m close back below 7765.
Target
7743 → 7724 → 7708
Invalidation
15m acceptance above 7786.

Second Opportunity

7708 Demand Hold Long

Trigger
Flush into 7708–7705 that holds with responsive buying, then a 15m close back above 7712.
Target
7724 → 7741
Invalidation
Acceptance below 7700, under the demand zone.

Only If

7741 + 20DMA Reclaim Long

Trigger
Unlikely — the 7737–7743 zone is chop. Only a pullback that holds the zone cleanly, then a 15m close back above 7745.
Target
7765 → 7782
Invalidation
Acceptance below 7733, under the moving-average zone.

Avoid

  • Trading inside the 7737–7743 moving-average chop zone.
  • Buying into 7767–7786 supply without acceptance above 7786.
  • Stops right on 7705 or 7786. Both edges got swept by 2–3 ticks this week before turning.

Focus · if → then

  • 7767–7786 rejects → short → 7743 → 7724 → 7708
  • 7708 holds → long → 7724 → 7741
  • Accept above 7786 → shorts off → 7810 → 7848

Today's reminder

The edges are 7786 and 7708. The moving averages are the middle.
