Market Narrative
Last Friday the market broke out and posted a bullish trend day that included acceptance into a higher balance zone. As long as the ES is able to remain above 4274, the outlook will remain bullish. However, the market may be a bit stretched and thus some consolidation is probably more likely at this point.
This week has no notable scheduled data releases and the next logical target is the August 2022 high at 4328. However, before getting there the ES may face resistance at the current balance zone high around 4304.
