Daily Analysis and Reaction Locations [2026-09-01]E-mini S&P 500 FuturesCME_MINI:ES1!pavlusrockulusSince the market finished its pullback last Friday, I'm looking for a continuation of lower prices this week. The calendar isn't showing much, except the NFP numbers coming Friday. Looking at the charts, the sub-structure low is confirmed, and its demand zone got consumed in the previous session — which weakens the sub low, supporting the continuation-lower case. That previous session also created a small location based on the demand zone consumption, which is interesting for a potential scalp trade if price reaches it before the liquidation event. If the liquidation event gets reached first instead, that long scalp location is only used for targets, not as an entry. The main trade direction for this week so far: short around the liquidation level, which aligns with a potential reaction zone — that reaction zone also aligns with a high volume node in the volume profile, and that volume profile is anchored to the pullback high, so it's monitoring the continuation lower specifically. As long as the sub-structure high is holding, my primary bias is downward, toward the swing pullback target. Grab the chart or zoom out on the preview to see all zones. Trade Idea 1 — Short, liquidation level. Needs directional confirmation first — the only safe risk reference on first touch would be the sub-structure high, and that's too far for me, so the confirmation itself provides the risk reference instead. Targets: the target location and the sub-structure low. Trade Idea 2 — Short, supply zone. Risk reference is the sub-structure high, main target the sub-structure low. I have a preferred entry inside the supply zone, but I'll take a 1-contract early entry on first touch and build the position up from there as price moves into the zone.
