$ES 1W

  • For just the second time this year we had a bullish weekly candle. We saw a massive reversal after the January lows were taken out. This shows bullish potential but is far from confirmed. A weekly close above 4480 would be a massive win for the bulls, but I am doubtful that happens this week.

$ES 1D

  • On the daily, the reversal looks quite strong. Nonstop buying pressure Thursday/Friday. However, we saw a similar rally in late January/early February before rolling over to new lows. Bulls want to see some consolidation above 4200 before a breakout from this downtrend. There remains fresh daily demand near 3970, if bulls fail here that will be a major area of interest.

$NQ 1W

  • The nasdaq formed a weekly hammer as well. Bulls want to see a weekly close above 14.7k.

$NQ 1D

  • A fairly bullish reversal on the daily – but bulls still have work to do. Consolidation prior to a breakout is the best bet for the bulls

Counts:

$ES 3D

  • Still no changes.

$ES 4H

  • The correction may be complete here. All requirements are satisfied for a complete corrective structure. However, the door is still open to more complexity and further downside. The bounce so far has not given a clear signal either way, so we remain in a ‘wait and see’ environment. The difficulty of this week is that both bearish and bullish scenarios may develop in a very similar way, making it difficult to pinpoint. The lower time frame structures will be very important to deciphering this week’s puzzle.

$NQ 3D

  • No changes still

$NQ 2H

  • $NQ looks a tad more impulsive off of the lows. Ironically, bulls would benefit from a pullback here while bears are rooting for further extension into supply.
  • At the risk of sounding like a broken record… a lot is still on the table, including possibilities not presented here. This market has not been kind to those who guess wrong. I have no intention of putting on large risk to either side until something clear develops. I will update the counts based on intraday action as usual.

$YM 3D

  • No changes. Great bounce at the confluence of fibs.

$RTY 3D

  • No changes. Great bounce from a great location, but bulls need to follow through.
