A conclusion would be a pullback to the previous balnaced price range followed by support again. However the market heading towards the next level of possible resistance which would be the prior bracket high. Let's see how the market will evolve around the highs for now.

As a follow-up from the previous post and the support around the previous VAL close level the market was able to find resistance around the developing VWAP + previous VWAP close level and established a pattern around these levels to get into a short trade. We can use the VWAP and the developing value as a trend-following tool in such a scenario currently.

Next possible area of support would be a prior value close area of the weekly VWAP perspective. Let's see where the market heading towards to.

Waiting for some pattern to conclude the next trading scenario.

TPO Analysis on ES - Double Distribution

Looking at the daily TPO on the E-mini S&P 500 we can observe a double distribution profile with an open inside of value in the lower distribution. The market found support at the excess low and surged to the higher extreme of the mentioned distribution. To be noted is the current unsecured swing high which could be revisted.

There are three possible scenarios - a rotational behavior inside of the distribution - a break higher to fill the low volume area - and a break lower to continue the sell off movement. Volume based we can identify a b-shaped profile which should be handled as a bullish pattern but we opened inside of value, therefore its better to see how the market will react around the balance/distribution extremes.
