/ES Value: YVAH 2780 YPOC 2770 YVAL 2751
/ES Plan: Yesterday market closed balanced and overnight inventory is bullish (GBT 2765), so we've these options:
A) If market remains above LIS 2746 with bullish internals, try to be a buyer leaning on 2746-2751 towards GBT 2765 YPOC 2770 and LVN 2772. 'Look above and fail' is a signal of weakness.
B) If market starts to move below LIS 2746 with bearish internals, try to be a seller leaning on 2746-2745 towards ONL 2738 and LVN 2731. 'Look below and fail' is a signal of strength.
Tips: Yesterday was a big down day so as usual after a trend day, be prepared for a bounce back up. Keep in mind that's the last day of the month and options expiration. End of month always adds volatility.
