Technical Perspective E-mini S&P 500
The E-mini S&P 500 Futures contract is currently trading lower, down approximately 1%, at around $4333. This decline is associated with a technical p-shaped volume profile structure, which typically suggests a bearish market sentiment. The Point of Control (POC) level within this profile is key, as it can help determine the prevailing bias. Additionally, positive volatility and a stronger dollar are exerting downward pressure on the market.
The daily interval continues to exhibit a bearish imbalance, and this perspective aligns with the Quarterly and Monthly value areas. The market is currently targeting the Year’s developing VWAP, indicating a bearish outlook.
When examining the weekly interval, it’s possible that the market could encounter absorption and short covering around the current lows. This dynamic could potentially trigger a pullback in prices.
