Updated Weekly Analysis and Reaction Locations [2026-08-05]
Market resolved the swing range by breaking the swing high. Right now it's in a fast-moving uptrend, and these aren't conditions I like to trade in — there's no clean entry with a clear risk reference.
The swing low held, and prior market value hasn't been reached, so that swing low carries a lot of liquidity. At some later point, that's going to produce a liquidation event — but for now, price discovery is ongoing. Price discovery is the process after a structural break, where the market probes new prices to find the next swing price.
For intraday trades, I'm watching session VWAP and the previous session's highs and lows. I'm monitoring price discovery itself, which right now is just the current uptrend with its highs and lows — once that trend breaks, the new swing high gets created and the pullback initiates.
There are a few price areas I'm interested in, but I'll probably just let the market confirm its direction before fixing my bias.
Additional context:
NQ1!
broke its swing structure to the downside and is currently inside its pullback location to continue lower. That's an offset — NQ moving down while ES moves up means one of them is showing the wrong direction. Since ES is tech-heavy, I'd like NQ to join the rising prices before I give ES's move higher the weight of confirmed continuation.

Trade Idea
No trade for now — letting the market establish direction first. Watching session VWAP and the previous session's highs and lows for intraday opportunities.
