| Short Week, Same Playbook
by Tony Rago | New week, fresh tape — even with the holiday schedule trimming participation later in the week, today still carries enough juice to move, especially with VIX sitting north of 22. That tells you volatility is still very much alive, even if headline flow thins out. As always, I'm keeping it simple: let the open do its job, let the ranges form, and let price show intent. For bulls, defending 6,658 on ES and 24,568 on NQ is the whole game — hold it, push away from it, and momentum naturally starts to build from there. For bears, it's the opposite: get below those levels, stay below them, and last week's lows come right back into focus. | Mindset-wise, this is exactly the kind of session where traders can over-anticipate, so don't. Let the market reveal where participation actually shows up before leaning into a direction. If buyers can anchor those key levels, we could see early strength; if they can't, sellers have every reason to press into the holes left behind. Keep the read clean, avoid forcing narratives, and use the structure as your guide. Simple doesn't mean easy — it means disciplined. Let's start the week on the right foot. | 👉 Full breakdown is inside today's Pre-Market Playbook. Check it out here and trade it smart. | Be safe and have fun trading! |
