ES Blog | April 2nd, 2025

Here is a zoomed out photo of the chart. In yesterday's session price went into a strong downtrend, which got a break, and on the 2nd leg attempting a new low, is when today's session started. The downMM was nearly met, and price made a strong push up attempting to reverse. This shows that yesterday's downtrend had a big impact on the price action of today.

Starting off with the ES, price had this major down-measured move in play when today started. Price has been bearish over the last few days, as we can tell by the clear wider downtrend price is in. After price rushed through the redMM shown below, that's when we accept that the bears are in control, and we need to look to get short and start looking for a wider MM. That's when the larger blue MM comes into play.

Hi everyone I hope you had a great trading day today. Had a sharp spike up on both markets during the overnight session. Both the ES and NQ has a large range that's been forming over the last several days. From the lows of the range price blasted through the upMM, showing the bulls are in control, which finally took price out of this multiday range. After a range gets a breakout, it's very common to see a 2 legged retest of the high for a long entry, but the bulls were so strong that there weren't enough sellers to give us a good breakout pullback.

Hi everyone I hope you've had a great trading day. Today all my focus was on the NQ 250 tick.

You can see the larger price action levels forming. Notice at the beginning with the downtrend. We got a very small 2 legged break, smaller than the one marked. We got a perfect MM reaction/reversal, but price was only forming a larger break between the bigger pic legs that were pushing up. That took us to the marked "2 legged break" on the chart. After a couple attempts down, price reversed, and ultimately made an even larger 2 legged break from the original downtrend. We can see that with the red arrows.

Hi everybody I hope you've had a great trading day. Today was a very bearish day. Basically just looking for short on the way down. For both markets, price was forming a sharp break. Even though price was breaking a wide uptrend, we still have to stick with what price is doing in the moment. A large uptrend break from a multiday trend can last multiple days itself, so we have to use the selling pressure from the break to our advantage, until price starts clear making a new high attempt.
