The S&P e-mini futures (ES) are traveling inside the recent short-term uptrend channel starting from last December.

Last week’s decline was a minor retracement, based on the daily chart.

Friday’s closing price is right at the first daily support level, which becomes today’s key line.

The retracement could continue if the 1278-1277 range fails to hold up, or the price could resume its uptrend to push price back up to 1296-1300 range if buying momentum returns.

Daily momentum indicators remain in overbought territory. The MACD indicator gave a second bearish divergence signal.

When we see the third one, it often indicates a major retracement is on the way.
