24/4/26 ES Market Prep
Thornexdaniel11 min read·Just now--
The analysis presented is generated from multiple models I have built using a Claude-Trading View crossover.
I look daily at the gamma perspective as well as where ‘value’ lies in the charts via volume profiles and Time Price Opportunity charts to determine an overall perspective on the market and key levels to initiate trades in the futures market.
GAMMA ENGINE
Regime Structure
Long Gamma · Balanced Rotational · Market Maker Mode · Pin Risk: High
The engine shifted from yesterday’s “False Trend Risk” label to Balanced Rotational once it received the correct Friday / Weekly OPEX inputs. That is a meaningful distinction — it’s no longer flagging early moves as traps primarily; it’s saying the day will likely be an orderly, gravity-driven rotation around VWAP and VPOC, not a session dominated by failed breakout attempts.
The broader context is essential. ES bottomed at ~6350 in early April and staged a historic recovery rally — over 13% in under three weeks — peaking at 7185.75 on April 17. Since that high, the market has entered a five-day balance range roughly defined by 7079 on the downside and 7183 on the upside. Every day this week has auctioned within that range. No breakout has occurred in either direction.
