Vol Still Alive to Start the Week
by Tony Rago
New week, new chances to get paid. We opened above 6,712 on ES and 25,000 on NQ — key levels for the bulls to defend. I’ll be watching for reversals if we slip back under those. The move on the hourly is steep, so a pullback wouldn’t surprise me, but I’m waiting for confirmation before jumping in. With VIX still above 20, volatility is alive and well in this tape.
The plan is to let the market open, see where we settle relative to those key levels, and watch the opening ranges for direction. Stay patient and disciplined — no reason to rush it.
