🎙️ Quick Take
Hello traders,
It’s Sunday night and we’re kicking off this week’s Weekend Review with ES Futures sitting in a critical spot. We've had a monster move up, and now we’re approaching the area I've been eyeing for weeks — the 6020–6047 zone — a cluster of monthlies, weeklies, and dailies that marks the top of a bullish imbalance. In the video, I walk you through exactly how I’m planning to play this zone, the key supports I’ll be watching if we pull back, and why buy-the-dip still remains the default unless we lose some very specific levels. I also cover how the Moody’s downgrade isn’t as big of a deal as some are making it, and why I’m not sold on the doom-and-gloom takes — this still looks like a structured, trending market.
Let’s break down the levels, targets, and actionable trade ideas heading into Monday.
📈 Overhead Resistance (Targets & Short Zones):
5976 – Friday’s high; must reclaim to continue the trend
6005 – ETH monthly resistance
6020–6022 – 🔥 Key reversal zone (monthly + weekly + daily confluence)
6040.50 / 6042 – Daily + 4H resistance
6047.50 – End of weekly bullish imbalance + ETH monthly resistance
🛡️ Immediate Support Levels (Buy Zones & Reaction Areas):
5954.75 – Untested 4H + VWAP cluster
5920 – Major weekly pivot; key structure zone
5915.75 – 4H untested support
5906 / 5904 – 4H + ETH daily overlap
5889 / 5885 – Untested daily + monthly + prev weekly VAL
5872 / 5871 – Weekly/monthly cluster + 200DMA
5860 – Caution zone; breakdown risk begins
5847–5848 – Final high-confluence 4H zone before trend structure breaks
🎯 Actionable Trade Scenarios:
✅ Buy-the-Dip Setup (Base Case)
If we pull back into 5920–5885, I’m looking for long entries.
Confirmation = reclaim of 5976 to target 6005 → 6020.
Watch 5870 — if it holds, great bounce potential.
🛑 Short Setup (Against Resistance)
Rejection between 5976–6022 = valid short scalp
Ideal play: tag 6020–22, fail back under 6005.50 & 5976
Targets: 5954 → 5920 → 5904
⚠️ Trend Shift Scenario
If 5870 fails, expect a push into 5828 → 5753 → 5711
Structure breaks beneath 5711–5690 cluster

🧠 Final Notes
We’re coming into a very loaded week. With news flow heating up and price pushing into multi-timeframe resistance, discipline is everything. If we rotate higher into 6020–6047, I’ll be watching for signs of exhaustion and short setups. But if we get a pullback into 5885–5920, that’s a prime dip buy zone I plan to be active in.
