Pre-Market Analysis: May 9th, 2024 $ES & $SPY

Market Observations:

The S&P 500 futures ES and S&P 500 ETF SPY have consolidated with low volume over the past two days.

Trading Strategy:

Given the current range-bound price action, I am not actively seeking trades around the 5200-5210 level.

Instead, I am looking for a breakout from this range accompanied by increased volume to establish a directional trend.

Bullish Scenario:

A sustained breakout above 5210 suggests a potential rally towards 5240.
Entry: Long after a pullback that finds support above 5210.
Note: Short positions may be considered if weakness emerges around 5210.

Bearish Scenario:

A sustained break below 5200 could lead to a decline towards 5180 and potentially 5150.
Given the recent buying pressure, this decline would likely be swift.
Entry: Short positions may be considered, but with limited size due to the potential for quick reversals.

Overall:

This analysis provides a framework for potential trading opportunities based on the current market conditions.
