POC Pressure Cooker – MES Prepares for VolatilityWe’re heading into the NY session with MES balancing between key levels. The 50% retracement of the recent range (6436) is acting as a pivot, while the POC at 6428 is the immediate area of interest. The structure is tight here’s both sides of the play: Key Levels to Watch: - Upper Range: 6457–6460 (recent swing high) - Mid-Range Pivot: 6436 (Fib 50%) - POC & Support Zone: 6428 (volume shelf) - Lower Range: 6415 → 6400 🟩 Bullish Scenario A breakout and hold above 6440–6445 could lead to a retest of 6457–6460, with potential continuation to 6470+ if momentum accelerates. - Confluence: Higher low structure above 6428, EMAs curling up, and price reacting positively to POC. - Invalidation: Clean break and close below 6428. 🟥 Bearish Scenario A failure to hold 6430 and a push through 6428 (POC) could see sellers target 6415, then possibly 6400. - Confluence: Descending red trend line still capping price, and VWAP rejections could support a downside move. - Invalidation: Break above 6457 with strong buyer aggression. Staakd Notes: This is a range-play environment. The real edge is in waiting for a break + retest of 6440 or 6428 to confirm direction. NY open volatility is likely to provide a fake out before the true move. Give it 30 mins from open. Closing Line: “Price is coiled between POC and the 50% mark. We’ll let NY open show its hand then react, not predict.”

ID: 2025 - 0095.5.2025 Trade #9 of 2025 executed. Trade entry at 137 DTE (days to expiration). Trade construct is a PDS (put debit spread) at Delta 15 combined with a PCS (put credit spread) at Delta 15. Overlapping short strikes give it the "unbalanced" butterfly nomenclature. Sizing and strike selection is designed to keep the risk/reward "AT EXPIRATION" to a 1:1 risk profile. This lets charm work it's magic (second order greek), while exploiting the fact that this is a non-directional bias. The process is a disciplined and systematic approach letting time decay evaporate the extrinsic time value from the short options until target profit is achieved. OF NOTE: This trade opened at EXCELLENT fills, and there is zero risk to the upside. The danger is of a catastrophic move to the downside, which will bring in phenomenal gains for ID 006 and 008. 😊 Happy Trading! -kevin

Early entry on !ES New York Session?If London -> New York session will be a reversal, this may be a solid entry... - Lower time frames showing RSI Divergence (bottoming out). - Higher time frames look like it could be a v shape recovery. From a macro standpoint, I am anticipating a volatile week. A lot of news - but nothing today (monday). It would not surprise me to see Monday do the inverse of what is to come later in the week. So I am not trading today, outside of what is currently in position (Long Silver, Gold, & ES).

Long MES I see CME_MINI:ESU2025 is on a uptrend with a BOS( break of structure) at $6421, there is a trend line marked in blue that has been tested several times. There is a support in confluence with POC area from a previous session. Above VWAP → Favorable for short positions (or considered expensive for long positions). Below VWAP → Favorable for long positions (or considered expensive for sellers). Personally, I build my position in zones — especially around key levels like order blocks, imbalance fills, or liquidity sweeps (Smart Money Concepts). I prefer scaling in when entering trades to catch better prices.

$ES and $NQ look to be dropping like a hot rock after the close.Looking at the Fib Circles and the previous day high along with the Gann. Well I know this is the micro ES but they run at the same % of p/l. If you notice how the high during yesterdays session and the low. Notice the Blue circle in the center? Any and every time I can draw out the circle from high to low daily levels from past to current. (as you have seen in my previous examples.) Either the trend completely hits the limit of the blue circle. Than reverts to the buyers stepping up or sellers dropping down below the blue circle. Its like a plague to the momentum of the market and can change it in any direction. I have noticed this as well. If the bid/ask price is within it during the time of the candle. It jumps or completely runs down through it meaning that I believe its a good place to either buy in any uptrend or sell in a Monthly/weekly/daily/hourly analytic. That's what the Gann Fibonacci level tool is useful for in my eyes. If the trend keeps going down below any level I find that there's probably about a 10%-20% chance it will keep going down. For me the Gann Is better than any trendline because it shows the fib along with the trend. Not investment advice just a perspective I have had working with it since someone showed the wrong way. Than I remembered Highs first down to Lows of the tf, being it 15 min/hourly/daily/Weekly/Monthly. Just a thought Anyone have any opinions? If so give me a ring and follow so I can get chart ideas that will great fully improve my futures trades. Have a profitable day and be safe all. Paul.

CHAT GPT TRADING You're looking at the Micro E-mini S&P 500 Index Futures (MES) on the 1-hour timeframe, overlaid with: Market structure labels (CHoCH/BOS/EQH) SuperTrend (10,3) Trendline RSI and volume at the bottom 🧭 Overall Trend: Primary Trend: Bullish, with steady higher highs and higher lows. Recent Activity: Price reclaimed above structure and is holding near the highs, just above the trendline. SuperTrend: Still green (bullish) RSI: Cooling off from overbought; currently in the neutral zone ~50. 📊 Structure Analysis: Multiple CHoCHs and BOS show aggressive but healthy pullbacks in an uptrend. Most recent CHoCH to upside, followed by a BOS and a new higher high confirms bullish continuation. Price bounced from the trendline after a quick dip — key bullish signal. ✅ Suggested Approach: 🟢 Bias: Bullish (Trend Continuation) As long as price holds above 6,322–6,335, bulls remain in control. 🎯 Long Setup (Preferred): Entry Zone: 6,335–6,345 (on minor pullback) Stop: Below 6,312 (under last swing low + trendline) Target 1: 6,380 (recent high zone) Target 2: 6,410+ (price discovery) Optional: Scale in near the trendline support on lower timeframe confirmations. 🔻 Invalidation / Short Setup: If price breaks below 6,312 with volume and closes under trendline: Short Bias Activation Target: 6,280 → 6,250 Stop: Above 6,340 🧠 Final Notes: Momentum is still healthy but watch RSI divergence. Volume confirms continuation, not exhaustion. Prefer buying dips unless trendline breaks cleanly. Let me know if you want a multi-timeframe confluence or position sizing calc.

ID: 2025 - 0084.16.2025 Trade #8 of 2025 executed. So simple, yet far from easy... Trade entry at 93 DTE (days to expiration). The last few weeks have been quite challenging, mostly due to increase volatility (3rd highest expansion in history), as well as widening bid/ask spreads. This trade idea will dovetail with trade id: 006 to balance delta without incurring more slippage due to spreads. This trade will hold to expiration without any adjustments until the final 30 days of trade life. Happy Trading! -kevin
