/ES Plan: Yesterday market closed bullish and overnight looks more bullish, moving above yesterday's range, so we've these options:

A) If market remains above LVN-VAH (ON) 2923 with bullish internals, become a buyer towards ONH 2927.75 PBT 2928 and PBTs 2942.

B) If market starts to move below 2923 with bearish internals, try to be a seller towards YHOD 2918.75 GAP 2915 and YVAL 2912.

Tips: Use DOM absorption and TAPE reading. Absorption occurs when aggressive traders 'Hit the Bid or Lift the Offer' on high volume, and are met with players who “absorb” all of these orders. The price moves very little or not at all. Tape reading means tracking orders greater than 40-50 contracts on the 'Time and Sales' to measure buy or sell pressure.
