ES futures are bouncing back and forth like a ping pong ball in a wide range. On the upside, traders are facing strong resistance at 2915. On the downside there is deeper support that could see new lows before firming.

$NQ_F – Nasdaq Futures

Fades down near theSeptember lows are holding as support. Today is a day to watch support. I’m on alert for failed bounces at resistance that eventually test lower support.
