📢 Power Hour Update for Subscribers – Wild Wednesday Whiplash
📊 Power Pivots:
$ES: 5545
$NQ: 19492
📌 Overview – From Gutter to Glory and Back Again?
What a ride.
Today’s price action took traders from doom and gloom to euphoria and denial—all before the closing bell. It’s been classic Wednesday volatility with a side of emotional whiplash.
Prices collapsed in the early session, only to stage a relentless rally that now faces critical resistance into the close.
Right now, the battle is for a daily close above 5600 ($ES). Will buyers secure the high ground—or was this all a short-lived squeeze?
📌 Key Inflection Levels into the Close
🔑 Upside Resistance:
$ES 5561 – Major resistance level. A daily close above here gives bulls the greenlight to aim for 5669+.
$NQ 19405 – Bias line. Must hold to maintain control of the tape.
🔻 Downside Support:
$ES 5530 – Key for support. Lose it and expect a push back to 5473 → 5420.
$NQ 19300 – A close below this line signals serious trouble for bulls.
📚 Educational Insight – "Power Hour is the Real Truth"
Why is the last hour so important?
Power Hour exposes true conviction.
Intraday noise gets cleared out.
This is where institutional players step in to position for the next session or unwind before risk events.
➡️ A close above key resistance (e.g. 5561) signals buyers are in control and not just short-covering.
➡️ A close back under support (e.g. 5530) tells us it was a pop and drop, setting up for lower.
🛠 Trade Scenarios into the Close
📌 Scenario 1: Hold 5561 – Target 5669+
Buyers close above this key breakout zone.
Sets up overnight continuation or gap-and-go into Thursday.
📌 Scenario 2: Fail Below 5530 – Back to 5420s
If the late rally fails and sellers reclaim 5530, expect swift downside into Thursday's open.
Potential unwind back to Tuesday's lows.
📌 Scenario 3: Trap & Coil
If price holds between 5530–5561, expect overnight chop and likely resolution Thursday.
💡 Final Thoughts – Today Is Not the Top… Unless It Is
We’re at a critical crossroads.
The rally was powerful—but was it just a short trap or genuine buying?
Price needs to prove itself into the close.
✔ Watch 5561 and 5530 closely.
✔ Watch where $NQ finishes relative to 19405 and 19300.
This will tell us everything about whether we trade up to 5669 or start the walk back to 5420s.
