The S&P 500 E-mini futures (ES) remain in a strong uptrend, currently trading at 6,282.50, just shy of the recent all-time high breakout level of 6,380.50. While bulls maintain control, today’s chart shows the index pulling back modestly, hinting at some momentum exhaustion near the highs.
Despite the softness, the price remains well above key support levels and the ascending trendline from April remains intact.

Ending Off
The S&P 500 futures remain in breakout territory, but with early signs of fatigue. Bulls want to see continued strength above 6,250 and a reclaim of momentum toward 6,400+ for confirmation. Watch the 6,166–6,220 zone closely for clues—this is where short-term control will be decided.
Price Action & Momentum Technically, DXY is in a confirmed bear trend. A sustained close below 97.93 would expose the 96.75 level next (S2).
