We have been monitoring for the possibility of a “trap door” setup in the index for some time. The move into yesterday’s high triggered this possibility. We were watching for 5160s from the weekly plan, and specifically 5157.5 for Monday’s plan for a sell to occur on a “failure to go higher.” From the weekly plan:
After an initial battle over 5089.5 we got a final liquidation back down to the major 5060 spot. Will this be the same as 12/20, 1/31, and 2/13 or is this time different?
IMPORTANT THIS WEEK
I will continue to use the current (March) ES contract for levels through Friday. Trading View will change ES1 (front contract) to the June contract on Thursday at 1800 EST open and thus will affect Friday trading. One can use ESH2024 on Friday to have these levels apply.
Be sure to see the weekly plan for a bit of context and expanded commentary HERE.
