Nota

$ES_F Off to a strong start for the week. Held the daily 9 ema and has already hit the first upside target at the 1.13 Fib extension. Next upside target is 1.272 Fib X at 4700. Bullish bias continues unless price falls back below the Aug 16th high.

19 lug 2023

Nota

$ES_F trading a little stonger than the NQ past few days. Likely due to some sector rotation out of XLK into the XLV, XLE & XLP. Uptrend is weakening a big and may need a pause. Expecting some profit taking in TSLA as it reaches 300.

20 lug 2023

Nota

$ES_F TSLA tapped 299 and then sold off after earnings taking the market down with it. NFLX pulling things down as well. Price has found some support at the 1.13 Fib X after flushing to the 4H 21 ema. If the 1.13 Fib X cannot hold a move to the daily 9 ema is likely.
