ES Analysis Week of 8/19/2024

١٩ أغسطس

From the weekly perspective ES has a very large fair value gap (FVG) below. This week's candle is responsible for how large or small the FVG will be by the end of the week. So because of this we may want to look at a lower timeframe to gain an understanding of how much trading range we have this week to trade with. From daily perspective, there is a FVG above current price or a "Resistance FVG" with candlewicks (or "kids left in the daycare") left in it. This is a signal that price will come back and test the close of the daily FVG at 5630. If we continue with our top down analysis and look at the 2HR perspective, there is again, additional confirmation with candlewicks and bodies, left in the resistance FVG above current price action. The 2HR FVG closes at 5643.

We also want to ensure we look below price action at "Support FVGs". From the daily perspective, price action could fall to retest the opening of the daily FVG at 5536. But beware of the 15min FVG close at 5550, above the daily opening! If price action is not ready to enter this lower FVG, we may find support at 5550.

There is potential for this week's candle to form like a doji. We have inflation data later this week, so I believe today and tomorrow's movement will help set up the charts for any surprises with the data.

Trade safe this week and take what the market can give you and be grateful for a profitable day! Happy trading!
