ESS Support and Resistance Levels

Price is being turned away at a ceiling near $296.88 and starting to slide. On the weekly chart, the next floor below sits near $281.57 — about 2.0% away.

Traders commonly watch $281.57 as a target (its 38.2% retracement) — think of it as a sensible next stop, not a guarantee.
That floor is the first place the slide might steady — worth watching how price behaves as it gets there.
There's nothing to act on here — the spot to watch was the $296.88 ceiling about a week ago, when price was turned away there, but price has already pulled lower. What's left is the slide playing out, not a fresh starting point.

Nearest auto-detected support sits near $259.22, resistance near $295.50. These are chart/swing-derived levels, not formula pivots.
