The low last week was a test of First Level Support at 3106.50 on Thursday, see chart and previous comments. ES rallied immediately and generated a higher Value Area on Friday with Aggressive Buying (green-at-top) being marked. The first minor sign of weakness would be a day-session close below the low of Friday’s Buying Day at 3126.50. Monday’s VA was also higher but there was a sharp sell-off late in the day. As long as ES holds 3106.5 it is in a strong position in the ST. Longer-term Support is at 2926, the 2yr.
