The ES opened a tick below the previous pit session close on Wednesday, traded two ticks lower to one tick below the overnight session half back and wide point of control at 2384.50, bounced, then tested the low again before slowly grinding higher in another low confidence, slow paced start to the U.S. pit session.

After grinding higher through D period, volatility entered the market with price selling off sharply in E period and re-entering the prior day’s range, but with no follow through price rallied back to the high, leaving a poor high at 2394.75 with only one tick of excess. Price sold off in the final hour of the day on higher volume, driving price lower to Tuesday’s G period low.
The point of control widened from 5 TPO’s at 2388.50 in G period to 10 wide at 2389.00 by the end of the day. Value was higher.
Wednesday’s low at 2382.00 could be a potential go/no go price level on Thursday – acceptance below the low would stop the one timeframing higher on the daily chart and pressure recent longs, potentially driving price down through the excess single prints and attempt to fill the gap from Monday. If price can reenter a prior balance, Monday’s squat profile, there is the potential of trading to the opposite side of the balance.
Failure for price to find acceptance below the now congested 2382.00 level would keep the week’s bullish tone in tact, but price would have to find acceptance above Wednesday’s wide POC and late breakdown point at 2389.00 to repair the poor high at 2394.75 and make a run at the all time high.
The all time high on the ES futures June contract is at 2398.00. The all time high from the March contract was 2401.00. The psychological 2400 level was not reached in the June contract after rollover.
