Trading Plan for Tuesday, April 9th, 2024
Market Sentiment: Consolidating within a tight range. Expect a breakout or breakdown with the potential for increased volatility.
Key Supports
Immediate Supports: 5246, 5232-35 (major), 5221, 5212, 5207 (major).
Major Supports: 5196-98 (major), 5181, 5172 (major), 5155 (major), and many more.
Key Resistances
Near-term Resistance: 5256, 5262 (major), 5274, 5285 (major), 5294, 5302 (major).
Major Resistances: 5308 (major), 5327-30 (major), 5348 (major), 5379 (major), and others.
Trading Strategy
Rangebound Consolidation: ES is forming a tight base between 5235-5263. Exercise patience and prioritize either tactical adds on support tests/failed breakdowns OR hold a runner position with the trend.
Long Opportunities: Look for bids at 5246 and 5232-35 (prioritize the latter). Consider dips below 5232 to 5207 or 5196-98, especially if followed by reclaims. Stick to level-to-level profit-taking.
Short Opportunities: While avoiding counter-trend shorts is generally advised, those inclined may consider potential shorts at 5285 (red downtrend resistance) or 5302-08 for dips.
Bull Case
Holding Support: Bulls maintain control as long as the 5232-35 zone holds. If it does, consolidation continues, likely forming a bullish triangle for another push toward 5274, 5285, and potentially 5302-08.
Adding on Strength: If ES bases above 5246 (with dips below recovered) while staying under 5263, consider potential adds.
Bear Case
Breakdown Signals: A failure of 5232 triggers the bear case. Remember, most breakdowns are traps, so look for a retest and failed breakdown of 5232 first, then consider shorts with level-to-level targets.
