ES (SPX) Futures Analyses - Key Zones, Setups (Thur, Sep 17)

70
Same map as last night.

Bias & structure
Price is pressing the box top 6,678–6,683 (1h AS.H 6,683.25) with a dense extension liquidity pocket above (D: 1.272 ≈ 6,763, 1.618 ≈ 6,856, 2.0 ≈ 6,959). We trade edge-only: fade a rejection at the top, or buy a sweep-and-reclaim at the control level.

Kill-zones (ET): London 02:00–05:00 (½–¾ size); NY AM 09:30–11:00; NY PM 13:30–16:00.


London (2 setups)

SHORT — Rejection Fade @ 6,678–6,683
15m tag → 15m close back ≤ 6,675 → 5m LH/re-close 6,672–6,674 → 1m LH entry 6,679–6,682.
Hard SL: above 15m rejection high +0.25–0.50.
TPs: 6,666–6,668 → 6,653–6,658 → 6,638–6,643.
Cancel if two 15m body-closes ≥ 6,685. Gate: TP1 ≥ 2.0R.

LONG — Sweep & Reclaim @ 6,653–6,658 (bias pivot)
Wick below LIS → 15m close back ≥ 6,658 → 5m re-close up 6,664–6,666 + HL → 1m HL entry 6,659–6,662.
Hard SL: below sweep low −0.25–0.50.
TPs: 6,678–6,683 → 6,703 → 6,720–6,724 (runner eyes 6,744–6,750).


U.S. (NY) (2 setups)

LONG — Acceptance Continuation > 6,683
Two 5m closes ≥ 6,685 (or one decisive 15m) → PB hold 6,679–6,683 flips to support → enter on 1m HL.
SL: under acceptance pivot −0.50–1.00.
TPs: 6,703 → 6,720–6,724 → 6,744–6,750 (→ 6,760–6,765).
Fail back below 6,679 on 5m = stand down.

SHORT — Breakdown & Failed Reclaim < 6,653
15m body close < 6,653 → retest fails (6,653–6,658 caps) → sell 6,651–6,654 on the fail.
SL: above fail-wick +0.50–1.00.
TPs: 6,638–6,643 → 6,624.75–6,627.25 → 6,611.5–6,618.
Back above 6,658 on 5m = invalidate.

Management (all plays)

First-touch priority; TP1 ≥ 2.0R gate using the 15m-anchored hard SL; no partials before TP1; at TP1 close 70% and set runner to BE; time-stop 45–60m if neither TP1 nor SL hits; max 2 attempts per level per session.
