7/27: Daily Recap, Outlook, and Trading Plan
Recap
Yesterday's FOMC session in ES was typical for those familiar with trading these sessions. Despite being defined by traps and volatility, there were several lucrative setups. We sold down to 4580, then right after the FOMC meeting undercut it by a couple of points, reclaimed, then put in a fantastic 25 point squeeze to ~4603 resistance, before rejecting into the second trap move. However, we ultimately ended the end basically unchanged.

Key Structures
Some core big picture structures and levels I am watching now (from highest to lowest). These are big picture structures that drive the broad trend, and provide context and orientation to the daily price action. They are not meant to be “predictive” and I will be trading the levels in the below plan level to level, one move at a time.
Support Levels
Supports are: 4592-94, 4582 (major), 4572, 4565 (major), 4560, 4549, 4543 (major), 4528, 4520-23 (major), 4515, 4502, 4493-86 (major), 4475 (major), 4460, 4448 (major), 4431-35 (major), 4424, 4408 (major), 4388-93 (major).
Resistance Levels
Resistances are: 4607 (major), 4617-20, 4628, 4640 (major), 4650, 4663, 4668-71 (major), 4676, 4687 (major), 4700-05 (major), 4717, 4730, 4741 (major), 4755-60 (major).
Trading Plan
I am still holding my 10% long position. I consider everything between 4565 and 4607 to now be consolidation. Everything in this zone will be tactical, difficult chop and only traders taking level to level pieces out with 0 bias with profit. No trend until it breaks up or down, only traps and lack of conviction.
Wrap Up
In summary for today: I am holding long still and waiting for breakout. I consider 4607-4565 to be a large triangle and price inside this range is very trappy and impossible to predict - I will be watching for failed breakdowns to add exposure as always. My general lean is that we fill out this range more, then attempt the breakout which would target 4617-20, then 4640. 4565 fails, we sell.
