The May 3, 2022 FOMC Meeting minutes was released 5/25/2022, which is another opportunity for Market Makers to swing price around violently and take out liquidity. We knew the obvious target would be the Buyside Liquidity at ES 3982.25. This level was the only major liquidity level in the nearby area. Also, after taking Buyside Liquidity price would continue going down as it has been for several weeks. So this case made logical sense.

And that is exactly what happened. ES whipsawed up and down to take out the local liquidity levels before then going up to take out 3982.25. But it didn’t stop there. Price also completely closed the daily Fair Value Gap which means there are no more reasons for price to go up any further. In my opinion, ES continues its march down for a while.
