ESS remains in a Stage 2 advancing uptrend, holding a pullback into the rising 9/21 EMA zone as support. Active Higher Highs & Higher Lows pattern confirms the medium-term bullish structure, while a Bullish Exhaustion candle warns of short-term momentum waning. Timing favors buying now on this pullback into EMAs, but a decisive break below the 21 EMA would invalidate current support and require reassessment.
