While it is not easy to trade in crisis, we want to avoid big mistakes than can cost us a big chunk of our available trading funds. Here on the 5 min chart, ES is moving down due to news and also a peak or bounce back up some more.

Such changes started at market opening, giving a sense of a down trend direction, then to recover some to the uptrend.

Therefore, analysis takes its place on the list of priorities, so we can easily understand what is going on, and aware of any direction change. Trading then becomes more less of a pain, than what it is, and at the same time brings some kind of self confidence in controlling our trades.
