ES - continue with the UptrendOn ES , it's nice to see a strong buying reaction at the price of 5974.00 . There's a significant accumulation of contracts in this area, indicating strong buyer interest. I believe that buyers who entered at this level will defend their long positions. If the price returns to this area, strong buyers will likely push the market up again. Uptrend and high volume cluster are the main reasons for my decision to go long on this trade. Happy trading Dale

The Chinese Vice Premier is visiting the UK from June 8th-13th. There has been progress made which is visible in terms of China relaxing export controls on rare earth minerals and President Trump stating that they are very far advanced on the China deal ahead of high level talks in London today. The FED is in a blackout period until the FOMC meeting. Trade, tariffs, and geopolitical risks still need to be monitored. Technical: What has the market done? With NQ leading, ES has also reclaimed yearly open. It held above yearly open in the overnight session. What is it trying to do? Climb higher, overlapping bars and yearly VPOC shifting higher denote acceptance at higher prices. How good of a job is it doing? Overlapping bars, headline risks and leveraged positions also point towards potential for prices moving lower before resuming higher or remaining range bound. TACO acronym traders may be in for max pain. What is more likely to happen from here? Given the data above, we would iterate given our previous explanation that recent data including CPI, PPI, Trade imports, exports is skewed due to trade tensions and this being reflected in business and consumer behavior. FED is likely to remain on hold while it waits and averages out the impact on growth, inflation and labor market. Scenario 1: Push higher Prices continue to push higher, if CPI comes in lower than expected, this may prompt a short-term continuation higher. Scenario 2: Range bound Markets remain in wait and see mode this week having climbed above yearly open. Markets build value higher and we expect VPOC to shift higher too. Scenario 3: Sell-off A mix of factors could e.g., trade talks stalling, weaker than expected US 10 year and 30 year auctions could foreshadow cracks appearing in the bonds market. This may fuel a wider sell-off if yields climb back higher.

Tiqgpt signals for today! Starting with the 1D timeframe, the S&P 500 E-mini Futures have shown a progressive upward movement, indicating a strong bullish market structure. The presence of consecutive bullish candles suggests a dominant buying interest, likely from institutional players. This upward trajectory is supported by the formation of a significant Order Block (OB) around the 5,975 level, which has not been revisited, indicating a lack of mitigation and a strong upward drive. Drilling down to the 4H timeframe, we observe a consolidation pattern forming just below the 6,000 level, which acts as a psychological round number and potential liquidity pool. The market has made several attempts to breach this level, suggesting an accumulation of buy orders and potential preparation for a liquidity sweep above this zone. On the 1H chart, the price action has developed a tighter range, oscillating around the 6,004 level. This consolidation near a high indicates a potential inducement zone, where smart money might be trapping retail traders into premature bearish positions before a possible upward expansion. The 15M timeframe shows a recent Break of Structure (BOS) above the previous high at 6,004, confirming a bullish bias in the lower timeframes. This BOS is crucial as it suggests a shift in market structure favoring continued bullish momentum. Finally, the 5M chart provides a granular view of the buying pressure. A sharp upward move followed by a small retracement forms a Fair Value Gap (FVG) around 6,004, which has not been filled, indicating that the price might revisit this area to mitigate the imbalance before continuing upwards. INSTITUTIONAL THESIS: The overarching smart money intent appears to be targeting the liquidity above the 6,000 level, using it as a springboard for further bullish expansion. The setup across multiple timeframes suggests a coordinated effort to induce bearish sentiment near this key psychological level, only to trap those positions and drive the price higher through a liquidity sweep.

Mean Reversion + Alternative Long Set-Up MES🔁 MES Mean Reversion Setup – Fade the Gamma Pin • Trend Bias: Neutral-to-Bearish • Entry Zone: $6,012–$6,016 • Stop-Loss: $6,020 • TP1 / TP2: $5,998 / $5,985 • R:R Ratio: ~1:2 • Confidence Score: 7.5/10 • Reasoning: Price is stalling inside top of Fib zone and SpotGamma’s gamma ceiling. Vol is crushed and mean reversion dominates without fresh upside catalyst. Clean rejection of 6,012 area intraday offers high-conviction fade down to VWAP zones and liquidity pools under 6,000. ⚠️ Alternative Long Setup – Only on Break + Hold of 6,020 • Trend Bias: Bullish breakout continuation • Entry Zone: $6,022–$6,025 • Stop-Loss: $6,015 • TP1 / TP2: $6,050 / $6,075 • R:R Ratio: ~1.5:1 • Confidence Score: 6.5/10 • Reasoning: Would signal breach of gamma wall (unusual without major news). Requires follow-through volume and tape support from HIRO or strong opening drive. 🧠 Key Notes Going Into the Week: SPX pinned at 6,000 = no trend yet, just controlled chop. JPM 5,905 call (June 30 expiry) still anchoring downside gamma. If MES > 6,012 holds on volume, prepare for potential chase. Next macro catalyst: Wednesday’s CPI (6/11). Until then, expect low realized vol and grind behavior.

S&P – Bearish outlook, correction coming next week?A lot of chatter recently suggests traders don't trust this rally, I can see why. From both a technical and macro perspective, things are beginning to look shaky. The S&P 500 is hovering around the psychological 6000 level, moving in and out with little conviction. The index has already broken its first upward trendline, and while it’s attempting to hold a second, momentum appears to be fading. We’re currently seeing the formation of a rising wedge pattern. More importantly, RSI is diverging from price action, suggesting weakening momentum. While inflation has come down from its peak, monetary policy remains tight. Rates have been high for a while now, and the effects may be surfacing. Hiring appears to be slowing. Initial jobless claims have been ticking up for months. Challenger job cuts just spiked above 200K, a level we haven't seen since COVID or 2008. Interestingly, the recent JOLTS report shows that job openings increased, but quits declined, perhaps suggesting workers are less confident about job-hopping? Despite this, unemployment held steady at 4.2% today. Historically, unemployment tends to lag Challenger job cuts by a few months, so we could be in for a jump in July or August, similar to the pattern we saw last year, which caused a huge correction. From a technical standpoint, I’ve entered a small short position here. Momentum is fading, and the wedge breakdown looks interesting. With that said, with macro uncertainty and the possibility of QE-style stimulus returning if economic data worsens, I’m cautious. We’ve seen markets rally on bad news before, especially in crisis environments, like covid times. The CPI report next week is interesting. If inflation surprises to the upside, the bearish case strengthens. If it cools more than expected, markets might push higher before any real correction. Interesting times going into summer.

Stock market cycles & liquidity, understand it all in 3 minutesLiquidity is a key factor in market finance. Without it, risky assets in the stock market, equities and cryptocurrencies lose their fuel. Over the cycles, one thing has become clear: the direction of financial markets is strongly correlated with that of global liquidity. But liquidity is not a single indicator: it is organized into three complementary layers. Understanding these layers enables us to better anticipate major trends. Level 1 is global monetary liquidity (M2). Level 2 concerns net liquidity within the financial system, and level 3 encompasses overall macro-liquidity, through activity and credit indicators. Together, these three dimensions form the markets' “bloodstream”. The chart below compares the S&P 500 trend with the global money supply M2 Level 1: Global monetary liquidity (global M2) The first stage of the rocket: global M2. This monetary aggregate measures the sum of the money supply (M2) of the major economies - USA, China, Eurozone - converted into US dollars. It includes sight deposits, savings accounts and certain short-term instruments, representing the gross liquidity immediately available in the global economy. This level of liquidity is directly influenced by monetary (key rates, QE/QT), fiscal and wage policies. The evolution of the US dollar plays a crucial role: a strong dollar mechanically reduces global M2 in USD, while a weak dollar increases it. In this respect, Chinese and American dynamics are often divergent, as they are driven by different credit logics (centralized planning on the Chinese side, rate-based adjustment on the US side). But beyond the absolute level, it is above all the momentum of M2, its first derivative (annual variation), that serves as a compass. An uptrend coupled with positive momentum strongly favours risky assets. Conversely, stagnation or a negative divergence between trend and momentum (as at the end of 2021) anticipates a contraction in valuations. Over this cycle, there is even a correlation coefficient of 0.80 between global M2 and Bitcoin, projected 12 weeks into the future: liquidity leads, markets follow. Level 2: Net liquidity of the financial system The second level is more subtle, but just as decisive: net liquidity within the financial system. This is the effective credit capacity, i.e. the funds actually available to irrigate the real economy after withdrawals, excess reserves and regulatory mechanisms. Unlike M2, this measure does not reflect gross liquidity, but rather the liquidity “actionable” by financial institutions. In the United States, this net liquidity depends, among other things, on FED mechanisms such as the reverse repo program (RRP), which temporarily sucks in or releases liquidity, and on the level of banks' excess reserves. Its evolution is strongly linked to the central bank's restrictive or accommodating monetary policy, QE cycles and QT cycles. The correlation of this net liquidity with the S&P 500 and Bitcoin, although slightly lower than that of global M2, remains significant. It acts as a filter for gross liquidity: even if M2 is high, if credit capacity is blocked by excessively high rates or constrained reserves, the impact on markets can be neutralized. Level 3: Global macro liquidity Finally, the third level: global macro liquidity. It includes barometers of economic conditions that directly influence risk perception and investor appetite: PMI indices (manufacturing and services), credit conditions, employment levels, default rates, etc. It is less monetary, more conjunctural. It is less monetary, more cyclical, but its impact is real, as it shapes the context in which financial liquidity is expressed. It is this level that contextualizes the first two: a rising M2 in a deteriorating economic environment (PMI below 50, falling employment) may have a limited effect. Conversely, signs of economic recovery may reinforce the transmission of liquidity to the markets. In this sense, the timing of the FED's rate cuts becomes a key macro catalyst. As long as US policy remains restrictive, M2 will plateau and net liquidity will remain constrained, even if the ECB or PBoC relax their conditions. Conclusion: Global liquidity cannot be summed up in a single indicator. It's an ecosystem structured on three levels: global gross liquidity (M2), effective credit capacity (ECC) and net liquidity.

ES Trade Idea and Upcoming NFP ReportCME_MINI:ES1! • What has the market done? ES futures are lagging compared to tech heavy index NQ futures. ES futures are still below yearly open. Yearly open has been a strong area of resistance since the rally of April 6th Lows in futures complex. • What is it trying to do? ES futures are in consolidation mode, building value higher. VPOC has shifted higher since the gap up from May 11th open. VPOC and 0.786 fib level provide a base for a continuation higher. • How good of a job is it doing? Markets seem to be slowing its rally. After such a strong rebound, participants are wary of any pull-backs. Although a strong trend higher, consolidation or a pullback is not illogical at these levels. • What is more likely to happen from here? o Scenario 1: Hold steady and NFP provides needed boost for markets to get across yearly open resistance and climb higher. o Scenario 2: A mixed NFP report may point towards further consolidation. Key level 5873 as support on move lower before reverting higher. o Scenario 3: A hawkish NFP report that signals higher for longer rates, may be interpreted by market participants as less monetary stimulus and dwindling rate cut bets for this year. We anticipate a sell-off towards 0.618 fib level in this scenario, moving to the lower edge of micro composite volume profile. In all the above scenarios, there is a clear LIS at yearly open. Other key levels are defined cleanly on the higher time frame. Important thing for traders to note here is to trade what you see and not what you think. Having an alignment between fundamentals and technicals is sound but the markets do what they do, and price moves where it should. Painting narrative to any move may sound fancy but it gets less important at intraday time frames in our opinion. Hence why we view all this considering auction markets and volume profile.

June 5 SPX/ES Trade OpportunitiesThis is one of those rare times where ES time-traveled 36 hours and went exactly no where. A lot of people lost money yesterday trading this channel. We were the ones who won the day. And that’s what this is about. My job isn’t to trade because the market is open. It’s to trade a system. I’m thankful for days like yesterday. Why? Because, sometimes we need to be reminded why we have rules. Runners are active from 5860 and 5870. This is a big part of the picture here. When I look above, I we’re at the channel top and we major major negative divergence into the 6008 reclaim. Pushing through this without having some sort of pullback would be a major feat of the bulls. Our job is to stack odds and take Grade A+ opportuntities. Long time readers of ESDaily know the unhappiest bull comes after a move like yesterday as far as building new opportunities. Yes we can continue, but buying just the first level pullbacks here contains additional inherent risk. 📈1st Opportunity - LTB 5944 - 5935(D). At 8:30AM yesterday, this was the only consolidation of the day and you can see an explosive move from this area. If price retraces here, and the following conditions are met, we have a Grade A+ setup. A failed breakdown of 5956 would have to occur for us to enter into this trade. I want a fleet movement under 5956 and into the demand zone. If RSI is above 40 I will add to my runners and bid the zone direct. But, due to the 10 point range, I’ll be doing less than full size. One could wait for price to come into the level and do a confirmation trade, or you could take the 5956 FBD as price leaves the level. I will not be taking the 5956 failed breakdown unless we hit that demand. If I add at the demand zone, I may add more after 5957 is reclaimed. That’s not my focus though. 5944-5935 is. 📈2nd Opportunity - LTB 5924 - 5917. This is only to be taken if 5935 Demand is broken. And we would need to proceed with caution as 5944 is a key demand. We can look to add on a pullback into this 15 min RBR created from 5-6AM Tuesday June 3rd. This is the bottom of the formation that launched yesterday’s rally. An RSI that is above 40 when we re-enter into the level is required. If we bounce off 5944 weakly and rush into 5924, we’ll likely have divergence in place. If we’re below 40 but have divergence, I would look to do a confirmation trade. One where we come into 5924, show signs of stalling, reverse, and I’ll take it on the move out. 📈3rd Opportunity - FBD 5911. Tuesday’s low and a critical area for bulls to hold. Taking out yesterday’s low would evaporate the gains from yesterday. I’d be willing to look at this so long as price doesn’t breach 5898, accept it as a low, reverse, reclaim. Beneath that we run into a very bad area for bulls. Sunday and Monday “wickiness” and chop provides literally no demand zones. The opportunities beneath are spotty at best and have been used more than twice now. I will not be engaging in a long if we fall below 5898 today early in the session. Not until 5867 📈4th Opportunity - FBD - 5853 . A break of yesterday’s low after the rally we got will bring a lot of attention. It’s not fresh - the 5872-5867 (CRA). We used this same general area on Friday and the structure developed Monday overnight and retested Tuesday May 27th. But it’s something I’m going to look at. If we flush 5867 we’ll probably flush hard and look at Friday’s low the 5853. If we come down and form reversal, show acceptance above 5843 and reclaim, we can look to buy. This isn’t a wick down and buy as it rallies. This is a wick down, structure build (maybe just below/at the level) and second bottom with a higher low, and then a series of bullish candles. That’s a confirmed reclaim. 5843 would be near the low I’d like to see on a flush. If 5843 goes, there’s a lot of room underneath 📈5th Opportunity - 5998 LTB only after 6008 is reclaimed. I’d like to see price breakout above the 5998 intraday channel top, where we will likely see a flurry of buying into 6008. I will wait for price to make a new high (by a few points). Watch volume pick up as chasers chase a few points, and get caught. Volatility will spike as we turn, and we’ll get a quick movement back to the breakout point. T1 would be a few points below the new high. The stop will be dependent on the move back in, but not more than 1:1. The 1 hr negative divergence is clear. So I’ll be sizing down, adding a 30% position to my runners. This happens time and time again. If it happens again and ES doesn’t come back down, I want to be ready to add on a breakout. I won’t be buying in subpar zones beneath current price and I won’t be buying above when my risk/reward rules aren’t met.

S&P500: Approaching the 88.70% RetracementThe S&P 500 continued its climb, nearing the 88.70% Fibonacci retracement level. The top of magenta wave (B) has not yet been confirmed, so under the primary scenario, we continue to expect further upside into the magenta Target Zone between 5,880 and 6,166. Once that zone is reached, wave (C) is expected to take over and drive the index into the next Target Zone — the green zone between 4,988 and 4,763. Short positions initiated within the upper zone remain viable and can be protected with a stop 1% above the top of the range. The alternative scenario — assigned a 40% probability — assumes the rally will continue directly into wave alt.(III) in blue, with a breakout above the 6,675 resistance. Over the long term, we continue to expect one final impulsive leg higher in blue wave (III) once the broader green wave correction is complete. This should take the S&P 500 well above the 6,166 mark. 📈 Over 190 precise analyses, clear entry points, and defined Target Zones - that's what we do.
