🧭 Market Recap – From Euphoria to Exhaustion
Yesterday’s rally was turbo-charged after the federal trade court ruled Trump-era tariffs illegal, effectively canceling them.

The markets loved it:

• $NQ surged over 300 points, hitting our 21844 target nearly to the tick

• $ES traded as high as 6004, just shy of our 6017 key breakout level

But this morning?

The entire move has nearly retraced — especially in $ES, which is now trading back inside yesterday’s range.

This is the classic high-volatility follow-through that turns into trap and fade. And with $NQ still holding higher, the divergence continues to give us context clues.

🔍 Current Market Intention

❝ What is the market attempting to do? ❞
Push above key structural resistance and confirm new higher value.

❝ Is it succeeding? ❞
$NQ is holding, so maybe.
$ES failed the breakout and retraced, so not yet.

We are sitting in a major decision zone, and that makes today's levels mission critical.

📌 Key Zones to Watch

🔻 If $ES opens below 5953, or opens above and quickly trades back below it → that’s a failed breakout. Likely to fade back toward true gap fill.

⚠️ If this happens, expect a quick unwind and fakeout-style reversal.

🎯 Buy Zone for $ES:

• 5903–5895 → structural support zone to target 6017

🎯 Buy Zone for $NQ:

• 21405–21420 → key defense level from earlier this week

• If held, expect push back toward 22000

📍 Bias Levels for Today:

• $ES Bias: 5975

• $NQ Bias: 21757

Above these = bullish continuation possible
Below = sellers still have the edge

🧠 Auction Theory Education – The “Trap and Reverse” Phenomenon
Rallies that retrace too quickly signal buyer exhaustion or profit-taking.

“A market that should be going up, but can’t… usually goes down fast.”
— But not before one last fake pump to trap late bulls.

That’s why today’s open is critical.
A clean open below 5953 tells you it was a trap.
A reclaim and hold above 5975 signals new initiative buyers stepping back in.

🧩 What to Expect Today

• Scenario 1: Strong Open, But Rejected Below 5953
  → Expect a fade back to 5903, possibly 5895
  → Long bias resumes only above 5975

• Scenario 2: Weak Open, But Holds Support (5903 / 21420)
  → Bounce trades back toward 6017 / 22000

• Scenario 3: Choppy Session Around 5947–5975
  → Neutral range chop until $NQ or $ES breaks decisively

🎯 Final Thought – Let Price Prove It
We called the breakout, we called the reversal, and now we’re in the test of truth:

Will bulls defend and push again, or was this just another round of liquidity extraction?

Stay nimble. Read the auction. Trade with alignment.
