#ES_F Friday 2.24.23 Day Trading Prep

Updated
2.23.23 Review : Thursday Globex spent time building structure over our Key Daily Support, RTH Open made an attempt at our 4030-25 Key Intraday Resistance area for the day and failed giving us a very nice trade towards our Daily Support. After we broke 4012-08 we broke structure that was built over it and we got more selling hitting out 3994-89 target and tagging 3976-71 Level but no break and that was our Key Level for a continuation yesterday and instead we got a push back inside Daily Support and a move all the way back to 4025 Resistance WHAT a crazy market we are in but this is what we trade using STRUCTURE to show us the way.

2.24.23 Prep : Globex again opened over Daily Support and built structure over it, as we can see now we made a stop run towards 4025 but we still had plenty of supply over that area. Once we ran out of buyers and broke 4012-08 we again started leaking lower and this time we have less buyers under us because we cleared them out yesterday, we are back at our Key Support areas with data coming at 830. We have Supply above us, we are inside T2 range, inside Previous Day range. T2 and Previous Day lows are both at our Key Support areas, will we break them today and get continuation lower to next support or will we get a reversal to take out support OR spend another day in balance?
Chances are good to see continuation lower but with this market we have to be careful and watch for continuation at our key location because reversal can be quick, depending on what we do at 830, today we have Daily Support at 4012-3990 which for now seems we are breaking, Key Support for continuation lower 3976-71 if we break and accept below we will find ourselves under T2 and previous days lows which could bring in more selling and our lower target could be 3957-53 // 3944-40 and Next Daily Support area around 3930 - 3890. For any upside to happen we NEED 3994-89 or 76-71 to hold AND get back over 4012-08 and HOLD then we can see a move back over 4030-25 and make upper resistance targets in play. So far our signs are pointing lower until shows otherwise.

Levels to Watch :

Resistance : Key Daily 4030 - 4012 Key Intraday 4012 - 08 // 4030 - 25 // 4046 - 42 Intraday ? 3994 - 89
Support : Key Daily 4012 - 3990 (currently broken) // 3930 - 3890 Key Intraday 3994 - 89 // 3976 - 71 // 3957 - 53 // 3930 - 3927

*** Careful trying to trade long if we are under T2 low because that can bring on margin call selling.
Note
IF We fail to hold 76-71 and RTH fails to get back over this could be quite a down day, we of course will look at levels for continuation but full test of next daily support not out of reach and maybe even look below?
Note
3957-53 and 3944-40 Are key areas for continuation now, if we wont break its telling us that this is controlled selling and not panic selling, they are selling out the long and filling the shorts below without breaking too much structure in one day. We have to watch for structure and breaks for continuation
Note
76-71 acted as our resistance this time around, now lets see if we make another attempt to break 3957-53 if so we can again target lower levels
Note
Still unable to break 57-53 and transact through our support which is telling us selling is not that strong even though we are under T2 and Previous Days lows with supply above, or that we still have so many size shorts covering that they are absorbing all the supply. This could be our market for time being, no continuation just trading structure between supply between support and resistance areas and until this changes we have to respect it.
