S&P 500 Futures – Price Location and Liquidity MapMicro E-mini S&P 500 Index FuturesCME_MINI:MES1!mliceroS&P 500 Futures – Price Location and Liquidity Map Let’s start this week by looking at the futures market. But before anything else, I always like to remind traders of two key questions: - Where is price? - Where is liquidity? If you can answer those two questions, you already understand a large part of what the market is doing. Higher Timeframe Context On the higher timeframes, the S&P 500 is still in a long-term uptrend, which is typical — markets are designed to move higher over time. However, what we may be seeing now is a larger pullback within that broader uptrend. At the moment, price is moving toward the Golden Zone of the last bullish impulse, which is a natural area where buyers may step in. Daily Timeframe On the daily timeframe, price is clearly trading inside a major consolidation range between 7090 and 6351. Price is currently below the Daily 200 EMA Last week, price found buy-side liquidity, which caused a bounce. That bounce is being supported by a large FVG left below and a Golden Zone that price has not yet shown strong interest in revisiting. This suggests that buyers are still present, at least for now. 4H Structure At the moment: - Price opened with a bearish gap. - Price rejected the open. - Price is currently being contained by an FVG that aligns with the 4H 50 EMA. - We can clearly see a compression structure forming. This means price is likely accumulating before moving in one direction or the other. Compression → Expansion. This Week This week, the question is not just technical — it’s also macro. Geopolitical events often act as the fuel that moves price toward liquidity. So for now, we continue to observe: - Where price is. - Where liquidity is. - And which side of the compression breaks. As always: Reaction > Prediction.
