ES1! Plan — Fri Aug 15 | OPEX + U. Mich (10:00 ET). Key levels

65
ES held above 6480 and is pressing into 6490s ahead of monthly OPEX and U. Michigan Sentiment at 10:00 ET. Yesterday’s hot PPI (3.3% YoY) keeps rates sticky; 6500 is a logical magnet/pin.
Levels:
• Sell zones: 6492–6495, 6502–6506 (watch 6500).
• Buy zones: 6483–6486, 6476–6480, 6468–6472.
A++ Setups (≥15-pt TP1):
1. Short 6492–6495 (or 6502–6506) on absorption + LH/ChoCH → TP1 6477–6480, TP2 6468–6472.
2. Long 6476–6480 (or defended 6483–6486) on absorption + HH/VWAP reclaim → TP1 6492–6495, TP2 6502–6506.
Risk: Stop 6–8 pts beyond zones or ≥1.25× 1-min ATR past last swing. Scale 40–50% at TP1; BE+2 on balance; trail swings.
Event risk: 10:00 ET U. Mich; late-day OPEX flows (14:00–16:00) and MOC around 15:50 ET.
