Peace talks?

Outlook 04/24: Stock futures rise on Friday, while oil prices declined, after investors were given a hopeful sign that peace talks between the U.S. and Iran would soon take place in Pakistan. The move higher was supported by Intel shares, which soared 27% in premarket trading. The chipmaker posted first-quarter earnings that beat Wall Street’s expectations and shared an upbeat forecast for its current quarter. The Middle East conflict has evolved into a naval standoff over the Strait of Hormuz as the U.S. and Iran have seized commercial ships. Trump said in a Thursday Truth Social post that he had ordered the U.S. Navy to “shoot and kill any boat” that is laying mines in the strait.

ESM26 (Jun2026): YVAH 7165 YPOC 7138 YVAL 7119 GAP 7165 

/ES Plan: Yesterday market closed balanced, but overnight looks bullish, moving above previous value, so these're the opening and initial balance options for current session:

A) If market remains above YVAH 7165 with bullish internals/delta, buy towards ONH 7190 and PBTs 7193-7210 magnets.

B) If market moves below YVAH 7165 with bearish internals/delta, sell towards ONL 7135 and YVAL-VAR 7119 magnet.

Note:  If market opens above value and it begins to trade within value, VAR bearish setup comes in play. It's 'Capital Preservation Friday'. Try to be calm and focus rather than thinking about your P/L account. Fridays are rebalanced days for funds manager to open or close weekly time frames positions, so last half hour set big funds bias.
