Last week was big for #ES_F bulls breaking out of a 1 month bull flag & reclaiming 50dma. This week tells if it was a bull trap. Was looking for a pullback off ~4465 to start & underway

Plan today: More dip. Supports=4432, 4415. Ideally bulls hold 4415 to open next leg to 4515 https://t.co/nud8eNmkjK
