Could low supply grinding up movement push SP500 to all time high? [Video]

Ming Jong Tey Independent Analyst

Yesterday S&P 500 futures (ES) had another up day with relatively low volume. Currently it is testing the gap resistance between 3310–3340. The character of the current movement is similar to what happened in Nov 2019, where S&P 500 inched up gradually with low supply level and low volatility until Jan 2020. Will that happen again?

In this video, I am going to show you the market recap on the last session. Going forward, I will cover the bias, the key levels to pay attention to, the potential setup for the US session later.
