New Week — Same Range, Fresh Opportunityby Tony Rago New week, new opportunity to make money 💪 We’re still locked inside this broader range, and ES is once again pressing up against 6,900 — a level that carries more weight than most realize. We opened 2026 at 6,902, so this area isn’t just psychological, it’s

Hey Trader,  Wednesday morning, the NQ was whipping back and forth with a 50 ATR. The kind of tape that eats traders alive. I bought the 26 on a back test of the opening range, started dragging my stop up as it moved, locked in 20 handles, then 30, and closed it out at the

Stuck at the Weekly Openby Tony Rago It’s been a big sideways week — and the tape shows it. We haven’t strayed far from the weekly open, and once again we’re hovering right around that level heading into today’s session. When price keeps rotating around the weekly open like this, it tells you there’s balance

Holding Higher Lows or Rolling Over?by Tony Rago Bulls tried to string a day together, but momentum stalled before it could really build. Now it’s about structure. On the higher time frames, they need to start carving out higher lows — that’s how trends stabilize and regain traction. For ES, 6,850 is the line in

Pivot Pressure — Decision Dayby Tony Rago Overnight we tested the weekly pivot and saw a slight rejection off the level — nothing dramatic, but enough to show it’s being respected. The weekly pivot often acts as a tone-setter for the entire week, and when price holds above it while defending the weekly open, it

Lower Highs, Higher Stakesby Tony Rago Overnight weakness continues to print lower highs on the higher time frames — that’s a subtle but important shift in structure. When price keeps failing at lower levels, it tells you sellers are defending early and often. Bulls need to regain traction and push back above the weekly opens

Hey trader, Friday morning, I took three back-to-back losses on micros before my Golden Setup session even started. Every direction call was correct. Price came down, hit my stop, and came right back to my entry each time. “The direction call was good on my part, but there was just too much vol.” The ES

CPI Bounce — But The Line Is Drawnby Tony Rago CPI sparked the bounce we were looking for, lifting ES back into 6,850 and NQ toward 24,812 after probing the overnight lows. That’s a meaningful response — but let’s be clear, the bulls are still wounded. Now it’s all about holding yesterday’s closing levels. Those

Massive Ranges, Clear Focusby Tony Rago We’re sitting in a pure consolidation tape, but don’t mistake that for small moves. Yesterday we pushed to a new weekly high on the jobs reaction, then saw full liquidation all the way down to 6,933 on ES — and now we’re right back pressing 6,988 into the 7,000

Jobs Revision Shrugged Off — Bulls Still in Controlby Tony Rago The revised jobs number hit and ES pushed right back to 6,988 while NQ tagged 25,333 — and the market barely flinched. No dramatic repricing, no emotional unwind. That tells you something. When data drops and price holds firm, it’s usually a sign of
