New Week — New Opportunities
by Tony Rago

New week, new opportunities to make money! Another big move overnight without us, as buyers stepped in at Friday’s close and extended that move into the Sunday night session. Now the question is simple: what’s left for us to trade? ES needs to hold pullbacks to 7,733, while NQ needs to defend a pullback to 30,000. Those are the levels I’ll be watching to see if buyers can keep the momentum going or if we start giving some of that overnight move back.

We’ll let the opening range tell the story rather than chasing what already happened overnight. The market has made a pretty big move before the regular session even gets going, so patience will be important. Let’s see how price reacts around those key levels, identify where the real participation shows up, and go from there. Let’s get after it! 💪

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

Check it out here and trade it smart.

Until next time,
Tony
