Fresh Week, Pivotal Levels
by Tony Rago
New week, new opportunities — and bulls have the ball early. NQ is bouncing off the weekly open at 23,608 and wrestling with the weekly pivot. That spot also lines up halfway back from the Jackson Hole reaction bar — big inflection zone. On ES, the pivot is sitting right around 6450. I’d like to see bulls test and hold that level to prove control.
Today’s close will tell the story. Above the pivots, bulls keep the edge. Below, bears regain it. No bias here — let the open play out, watch where the initial ranges land, and trade what’s in front of you. Keep it simple, stay sharp, and let’s crush it.
Full breakdown is in today’s Pre-Market Playbook.
