  • Setups to watch: a reversal down from the zone top, or a breakout above it.
  • Prior move: ES moved up from $2.38 (the last daily swing) to $70.74, about 49.4 ATR, so the move is extended. Traders often watch the reversal first here.
  • Reversal check: a shooting star or bearish engulfing candle near $71.54.
  • Breakout check: RVOL above normal on the break (last day's RVOL: 1.5× on Nov 5).
  • Zone tests: price pushed above the zone top 0 times and fell back, and dipped below the bottom and recovered 0 times. Each test can weaken a zone.
  • Distance: 4.28 ATR to the zone bottom, 0.58 ATR to the zone top (ATR ≈ 1.38).

Why kpl matter

A key price level is a price the stock has turned at or paused at many times. The more touches, the more traders know it, and the more orders tend to sit there.

How traders use it

  • Higher timeframes (daily, 1-hour) carry more weight than 5-minute levels.
  • Traders look for reactions at the level: rejection candles for reversals, closes through it with RVOL for breakouts.
  • Levels from several timeframes stacked together make the strongest areas.
