Weekly Analysis and Reaction Locations [2026-08-24]E-mini S&P 500 FuturesCME_MINI:ES1!pavlusrockulusFor this week, the current direction is down. The trend is intact, and there are a few locations I'll be watching for potential trades. As long as the internal highs and lows continue the downtrend, my bias is for shorts. Once that trend is interrupted, I expect a pullback, and my bias would shift toward longs at that point. Once price reaches the pullback target, I'll re-assess conditions and wait for confirmation of direction. For Monday, I have no trade ideas unless one of two things happens: price breaks the internal low and tests the algorithmic reaction zone, which could initiate the pullback, or there's a liquidation event on Friday's high, which would give me a potential short trade. Once the internal low is broken, the marked liquidation price level becomes the trend monitoring reference — the new internal high. The current downtrend volume is concentrated at lower prices too, which can also indicate a pullback might be coming soon — though confirmation via the trend interruption is still required. Grab the chart or zoom out on the preview to see all zones. Trade Idea No trade for Monday unless one of two conditions triggers: a break of the internal low with a test of the algorithmic reaction zone, which could initiate the pullback, or a liquidation event at Friday's high, which would set up a potential short.
