**ES Notes from Recent High Frame Price action 4/16-4/17**E-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 **7,077**, and has now **fully reclaimed the prior range highs**, showing strong continuation after the recent reversal. * The key structural shift already occurred with the **breakout from the descending channel**, confirming the move from bearish to bullish structure. * Since that breakout, price has followed through with **strong expansion candles**, showing clear buyer control. * Price is now pushing directly into the **7,077 – 7,089 resistance zone**, which aligns with prior highs and a major supply area. * This is a critical level where ES will either: * confirm continuation into new highs * or see short-term rejection and consolidation * The speed and strength of this move favors bulls, but also increases the likelihood of **short-term pullback or sideways digestion** before further continuation. Overall structure remains **bullish but extended into major resistance**. **Levels I’ve been tracking** * **7,200+**: Extended upside target * **7,150+**: Breakout continuation zone * **7,096.5**: Absolute high * **7,077 – 7,089**: Major resistance zone * **7,077**: Current reaction area * **7,020**: Immediate support * **6,950**: Key support zone * **6,899 – 6,832**: Strong support cluster * **6,758**: Major structure support **Volume and behavior notes** * Volume expanded significantly during the reversal move, confirming **strong institutional participation**. * Current price action shows **momentum continuation**, but also entering a zone where sellers previously stepped in. * After a move like this, it’s common to see **consolidation or pullbacks before continuation**. * Holding above **7,020** keeps the bullish structure intact. * A clean breakout above **7,089** likely opens continuation toward **7,096 → 7,150 → 7,200+**. * A loss of **7,020** likely rotates price back toward **6,950 → 6,899 → 6,832**. **Overall read from my notes** ES remains **bullish into the 4/17 overnight session**, but is now at a major decision point. As long as **7,020** holds, the higher probability path remains continuation toward: **7,096 → 7,150 → 7,200+** If rejected here, expect a **healthy pullback into 7,020 → 6,950 support before continuation attempts**. This is a **decision zone, not a chase zone** at current levels. **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.
