Apple boost

Outlook 05/01: Stock futures rise on Friday, boosted by Apple shares, while oil prices fell as a new month of trading got underway. Apple climbed more than 3% in premarket trading after the consumer tech giant posted a fiscal second-quarter earnings and revenue beat. Not only that, the company’s revenue outlook for the current quarter was better than expected, overshadowing the fact that iPhone revenue fell short of estimates for the second time in three quarters. A strong first-quarter earnings season, as well as hopes for easing tensions in the Middle East, have ultimately boosted stocks higher on the year.

ESM26 (Jun2026): YVAH 7253 YPOC 7245 YVAL 7183 GAP 7245 

/ES Plan: Yesterday market closed bullish (PBT 7331), and overnight continues on that way, moving above previous value/range, so these're the opening and initial balance options for current session:

A) If market moves above YHOD 7253 with bullish internals/delta, buy towards ATH-ON 7271 and PBT 7331 magnets.

B) If market moves below YHOD 7253 with bearish internals/delta, sell towards YPOC-GAP 7245 and YVAL 7183 magnets.

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 managers to open or close positions.
