REF is the reference level — the anchor price each day's support and resistance are defined from (not a bullish/bearish signal). Every issue includes the SPX map — the same structure in cash-index prices for stock, stock index and options traders. NQ + NDX are shipping next, included in every subscription.

How the session traded

ES September 2026 chart, Friday July 10 session against the published levels
Fri Jul 10, ES — the morning flush probed below 7574 support and was bought straight back; from there the map traded in order: the 7594/7596 reference zone was reclaimed, 7604 rejected price twice before flipping to support, and 7619 gave way into the afternoon.
S&P 500 cash index, 5-minute chart, Friday July 10 session against the published levels
The same session on SPX — the early flush through 7525 support was bought back, and the recovery traded the map in order: 7545, then 7555, then a press through 7570 into the close.
