7 tick slippage on the ES today. Stop order. Highly unusual. Probably a first. Test of the Week High / ATH coming up here. 3400 by the Close?
Last Friday was a dump into the Close. The Friday prior to that closed at the High. I bet we close above 3385. The rest is a gamble. But a run towards 3400 wouldn't be a big surprise...
The market is pretty damn bullish, though. My weekly forecast suggests a 12/13 chance of fresh ATHs next week and a 77 % chance we'll close higher than 3393,75 by end of next week. This is just by looking at similar technical patterns. This level might be a bit more special than your 'average ATH' and we're also in volatile times. So who knows. But there does not seem to be a very strong edge just shorting a fresh ATH and a strong weekly close. Good luck anyway.
