The author is holding a long position from a lower level and expects the market (likely Nasdaq futures, proxied by QQQ) to continue rising to a specific target of 6954 to retest a prior breakdown point.
The author provides a specific, conditional long trade plan for S&P 500 futures (ES_F), expecting price to hold the 6867 support level and rally to targets at 6876 and 6884-88, with 6845 acting as a clear invalidation level.
1. THE FACT: ES_F lost a 2-day support shelf at 6938, putting bears in control. Two precise backtests of 6938 were followed by a sell-off.
2. THE BRIDGE: The loss of a significant support level (6938) and subsequent rejections on backtests confirm bearish control. This establishes a "sell bounce regime."
3. THE VERDICT: Short ES_F on bounces as long as it remains below 6938.
