wednesday fed

Condition 1
ES is in Balance
NQ is matured imbalanced up

Condition 0
friday ES was not able to get the swing low
It was just a liquidation
In eth we see some covering which lets us open above the belly

NQ opens with a little gap on new ath

Thoughts
In tendency we see less action on the first days of a fed week
There is no need to antizipate a change of condition 1
Trade in the frame work of what is
