Slow Summer Tape — Let It Open
by Tony Rago

New week, new opportunities to make money! No news on Monday, and with this being the last week of August, we could see more slow days on the calendar. ES is hanging around last week’s lows while NQ is looking to push through its lows and test 29,000. This is one of those tapes where there’s no need to manufacture action if it isn’t there.

We’ll see how they want to trade this morning. It could be slow, so don’t overdo it. Let the market open, give the opening ranges some time to develop, and then we’ll see which side wants to take the ball. Keep it simple, stay patient, and trade what we see.

👉 Full breakdown is inside today’s Pre-Market Playbook.

Check it out here and trade it smart.

Until next time,
Tony
