The stock market continues to show signs of resilience and optimism.
On any given day, the leading indexes will experience buying sending traders into profitable trades, including for the core US benchmark S&P 500 Index.
In fact, even this morning, the S&P showed some nice gains for a period of time both in the cash market as well as in the futures contract market (ES).
The key for traders is to be able to take a step back from just an intraday or daily chart and get a perspective for the potential longer-term trading opportunities.
And today, we’re going to do just that…
Looking for the Next Direction
Here’s the S&P 500 futures contract (ES) monthly chart and the set up discussion…
The S&P 500 futures contract (ES) monthly time frame is in an up trend.
The market is making higher highs and higher lows. The market is at a low price hitting a known level of U-turn.
The market has an up Fibonacci extension at price point 6,422.50, about +9,741 ticks above the market.
It will be a good idea to turn to the daily time frame and to look for low prices in the buy
zone.

Luckily, you can now leverage the market knowledge I’ve gained over all my years in the market to your advantage.
