The ES, 24 hour S&P futures has a conventional measured move target of 4120-35 as a result of the breakout from that 8 day base on the hourly chart. Right now they’re in a nominal 5 day cycle down phase. I’ll call it the pause the refreshes. Original, huh?
That 5 day cycle has lately mostly been expressed in a wave that has lasted 4 days, low to low. The next low would ideally be due overnight tonight. That would leave today to be a consolidation day.
What might change this outlook? An hourly close below 4050 for starters. And below 4037 would create a nice little reversal top. Otherwise, nap time! Then up again.
