S&P 500 Futures (ES) Technical Analysis – July 14, 2025

Introduction

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.

Key Takeaways

  • Trend remains bullish, but short-term RSI divergence and today’s red candle signal possible slowing.
  • The 6,166.50 ATH breakout level is now a critical bull-bear line—as long as price holds above it, the bias remains to the upside.

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.

Still a buy-the-dip environment… until it’s not.
