The pattern on the hourly chart of the ES, 24 hour S&P futures, speaks for itself.
To translate, it’s a top, and it has broken down.
But there are a couple of problems from the bearish perspective. First, the 5 day cycle projection is only 3915-30, and they already reached the top of that range. Second, there are multiple sport levels and trendlines in the 3910-3920 area. If they hold, this decline would be but a false start.
In addition, the hourly oscillators are barely in negative territory, and a 5 day cycle low is due right now. An upturn from these levels could catch fire.
Here’s a longer term perspective using 5 hour bars. Note that the original base breakout at 3800 has a conventional measured move target of 4100. You can see how formidable and important the 3910-3930 sport area is. If this holds, I’d be inclined to want to be more long than short in my trading port.
