New Week, Fresh Opportunities
by Tony Rago
New week, new opportunities to make money. This week brings plenty of potential catalysts with CPI and PPI on the calendar, while Netflix officially kicks off tech earnings on Thursday. Friday’s rally was a steady, low-volume grind higher that pushed ES back above 7,612 and NQ back over the 30,000 round number. Those were encouraging closes, but now the bulls need to prove they can hold those gains. It’s one thing to reclaim an important level—it’s another to defend it once the market opens and real participation steps back in.
Coming into the session, inventory is leaning short, so the early advantage belongs to the bulls if they can come out swinging. Holding above 29,412 on NQ and 7,562 on ES will be critical. Lose those areas, and the tape could get slippery in a hurry, opening the door for a deeper pullback. My plan remains the same: let the market establish its opening range, see who takes control, and trade what price confirms rather than what I expect. With a busy week ahead, there’s no need to force anything early. Stay patient, stay disciplined, and let the market come to you.
