Last week (Friday) ES tested 3202.50, First Level Support. Value Areas this week have been generated above that level. Price printing time below 3202.50 would be a first sign of weakness. Wednesday’s Value Area was higher and wider but pre-open today ES is sharply lower.
Key charts
FTSE 100: recent multiple rejections in June/July at 6312 (1/2R Resistance off last year’s high). This indicated weakness and FTSE sold off last week. Bulls would want to see that level recovered asap.
DAX: the 4yr is at 12240. Currently DAX prints well above that level in a strong position. Last week printed its highest level since February but sold off at end of week.
