ES Analysis 3/18/26E-mini S&P 500 Futures (Jun 2026)CME_MINI:ESM2026EthicalxTrader**My ES notes from recent higher timeframe price action (Daily perspective)** * ES is currently trading around **6,677**, sitting near the lower end of the range after a **sharp impulsive selloff and weak bounce attempt**. * The market has clearly shifted into a **bearish structure with lower highs and lower lows**, confirming downside momentum remains in control. * The recent move **swept the 6,631 liquidity low**, followed by a bounce — but that bounce has **failed to reclaim key structure levels**, which is typical bearish continuation behavior. * The **6,800–6,814 region is acting as strong resistance**, where price attempted to push higher but was rejected, showing clear seller dominance. * Volume expanded significantly on the downside, suggesting **distribution and forced liquidation rather than a controlled pullback**. Overall structure remains **bearish until key resistance levels are reclaimed**. **Levels I’ve been tracking** * **7,020**: Key breakout level * **6,899**: Higher resistance * **6,832**: Major resistance pivot * **6,814 – 6,800**: Immediate resistance zone * **6,650 – 6,639**: Immediate support zone * **6,631**: Major liquidity level * **6,585 (approx)**: Next downside area * **6,517**: Lower structural support **Volume and behavior notes** * The sweep of **6,631** appears to have been a **liquidity flush**, clearing stops before a reactive bounce. * The bounce lacked follow-through and failed at key resistance, reinforcing the bearish structure. * The **6,800–6,814 zone** is now the primary decision level where sellers are maintaining control. * Continued acceptance below this zone keeps the **downtrend intact**. * A break below **6,631** would likely trigger continuation toward **6,585 → 6,517**. **Overall read from my notes** ES remains in a **clear bearish structure**, with failed reclaim attempts and continued pressure near the lows. If sellers continue to defend the **6,800–6,814 region**, the market is likely to **retest and potentially break below 6,631**, opening the door for further downside. However, if buyers can **reclaim 6,832 with strength**, this could trigger a **short-covering bounce toward 6,899–7,020** into the upcoming session. **Quick note on AI usage since it comes up from time to time** All of the technical analysis itself is done manually by me. Every trendline, every level, every pattern structure, and every interpretation of price action is drawn and noted by hand from the charts. What I use my AI models for is strictly a formatting and consolidation layer. Over the past couple of years I’ve trained and refined my own models so they can take my raw notes from multiple timeframes and organize them into a cleaner, more readable summary. These aren’t generic prompts or auto-generated opinions, and they follow the same logic and playbook I already apply manually. The analysis is mine. The charting work is mine. The decision-making is mine. AI simply helps present the information consistently so it’s easier to read and reference quickly. Humans make the decisions, AI helps with presentation, not the other way around.
