ESZ24 – Dec E-Mini S&Ps (Last:5800.00)

The futures spent the whole week sucking the marrow from bears with a shallow, stubborn correction.  One might think this would set up a fearsome rally, and there is that possibility. Regardless, we should keep a close eye on price action at the 5868.50 Hidden Pivot target of the pattern shown as we attempt to get short there in the usual way — i.e., via a small-pattern reverse trigger (aka ‘camouflage’).  The pattern is one more example of an ‘ABCD’ that is too obvious to work precisely but which cannot fail to show stopping power that is tradable, however laboriously. Bears shouldn’t grow too discouraged if the mindless herd plows through the target, since there is another, potentially even more daunting, ‘hidden’ resistance at 5906.25. That’s the midpoint pivot, on the monthly chart, of A= 4310.50 (10/31/23).
