Patience at the Highs
by Tony Rago
Target hit — NQ tagged 25,250, while ES is stalling just under 6,800. Overnight action was tight, which sets us up for a possible range-bound day unless the tape finds a reason to break. With the government shutdown unresolved and payroll numbers sitting on Friday’s schedule, the market’s clearly waiting for a catalyst.
The plan is patience. Stay objective here — don’t fight this tape. If you can’t bring yourself to buy a long signal, step aside and wait for your pitch. Let the open play out, watch the initial balance, and let the market show you where it wants to go.
