๐ข Morning Update for Subscribers โ Full Retrace in ES, Now Testing for Breakout Control
๐ Open Pivots:
ES: 5895
NQ: 21286
๐งญ Market Overview โ Back to the Scene of the Crime
ES has fully retraced the rug pull that began from 5894, which ultimately led us to that clean flush into the 5750s. Now, price is back above that level, knocking on the door of a potential breakout and control shift.
Meanwhile, NQ has also recovered from a sharp overnight dip and is testing the 21300 levelโa key threshold for whether this rally has legs or fizzles into a fade.
This is where intent meets test:
โ What is the market attempting to do?
โ Attempt: Squeeze out overhead supply and reclaim value above 5894 / 21300.
โ Is it succeeding? Not yetโbut weโre right at the proving ground.
If ES can hold 5m and 30m bar closes above 5894, bulls are showing theyโre in control.
If bears defend and force closes back under 5884, especially below 5869 โ short-term downside re-engages.

๐ Educational Insight โ Watch the Alignment Between Attempt and Outcome
Markets donโt move based on what they โshouldโ do. They move based on whether their attempt is being accepted.
When price attempts higher but is absorbed and rejected, sellers still control.
When price attempts higher and builds value above resistance, it's supply being removedโand thatโs your cue to lean long.
Today is a test of that exact structure. 5894 is the battle line, and the marketโs job is to prove who controls it.
๐ Final Thoughts โ Donโt Predict the Outcome. Judge the Reaction.
Closes above 5894 / 21300 โ Market is succeeding in its upside attempt
Rejections under 5884 / 21200 โ Bears still defending
Today isnโt about bias. Itโs about observation and execution.
Let price tell the truth. Let your edge execute the response.
