Weekend Review – S&P 500 Futures (ES)
April 27, 2025
Welcome back, traders — it’s time for your Weekend Review!
The S&P 500 Futures (ES) have enjoyed an impressive two-week uptrend after finding a temporary bottom. However, we are now approaching serious resistance zones where price action could begin to slow down — or even reverse. While the trend remains bullish for now, we’re entering a critical inflection point, and caution is warranted heading into next week.
In this review, I’ll walk you through the important zones, key supports, resistance levels, and what setups I’m looking for in the days ahead.
🔥 Key Resistance Zones (Upside Targets):
5604.50 — 4-hour resistance level.
5626.50 — Critical resistance; beginning of heavy overhead supply.
5635.50 — Daily resistance level.
5640.00 — ETH weekly resistance level.
5668.75 — Preferred resistance zone; strong historical structure.
5671.75 — 4-hour resistance level.
5675.50 — Naked weekly POC + daily resistance (prime short area).
5718.00 — Weekly high and significant bullish imbalance target.
🚨 Major focus: 5668.75 – 5675.50 zone is the "sweet spot" for shorts if price action shows signs of slowing.
5718.00 could be a final exhaustion push if the market squeezes higher.
🛡️ Key Support Zones (Downside Targets):
5543.50 — Important support level (must hold initially).
5531.00 — Strong support; below here things get very bearish.
5455.00 — 4-hour support level.
5415.00 — Big weekly support (critical area to defend).
5328.00 — Major downside target; gap-fill zone and structural support.
5345.00 — 4-hour support near the gap.
5315.00 — Gap fill zone — major target if breakdown continues.
5180.00 — Untested daily support lower down (only if things get extreme).
🧠 Mindset going into next week:
If we pop into the 5668–5675 zone and start rejecting, I'll be looking for high-probability short setups targeting back down into 5543, 5531, and potentially 5415 and lower.
If we reclaim and hold 5626.50 after a pullback — the bullish scenario remains intact.
If we lose 5543.50 and 5531.00 — major caution lights will be flashing, and deeper downside becomes very likely.
📈 Summary Outlook:
Primary plan: Watch for potential exhaustion and reversal between 5668.75 and 5675.50.
First confirmation of weakness: A failure back below 5626.50.
Deeper downside risk: Triggers if we lose 5531.00 convincingly.
I'll be patient at the open, looking for clear signs of either strength continuation or major exhaustion into resistance zones. No need to rush — the setup will likely come to us.
