Daily VWAP Update on ES

The market opened above value but were trending lower with downside slope of the VWAP. We found support at the previous day's VAL close level followed by a pullback to the DVAH with resistance. Currently still in a bearish mode. Monitoring the developoing VWAP levels for any pattern of resistance. The market could close as a double inside day - the probability to take out both high/low extremes in the next days is higher in such a particular case.

Let's see what happens here to conclude a possible bearish trade scenario - until the market does not break above the mentioned POC.

Reversion to the Mean - Trading Glossary

A Reversion to the Mean can be looked at as an inventory adjustment that will occur in the later part of a trading session.
