⚡ RAIN x Break + Retest Trade Plan — 01/27/26

1/27/20262 min read


Ticker: /ES
Timeframe: 30 Min
Bias: Bullish → Reactive at ATH supply
Theme: Higher low → Grind higher → Caution at extremes

🧭 Context

ES is putting in a clean higher low, which matters.
As long as price holds above the prior highs 6,964–6,976, the path of least resistance stays higher.

This is a grind-up environment, not a rip-your-face-off trend:
👉 Pullbacks are opportunities
👉 Chasing highs is a mistake
👉 ATH supply must be respected

Market personality:
• Slow grind
• Shallow pullbacks
• Punishes impatience near highs

🚫 ABSOLUTE RULE — NO EXCEPTIONS

🍼 Baby account is CLOSED during the morning session.

When you traded less:

✔ Big R showed up
✔ Work actually protected you

Morning trading doesn’t sharpen you —
it drains you.

3️⃣ VWAP aligned with trade
4️⃣ Absorption at the level — not mid-range

Best window: 10–11:00 AM
🚫 No chasing highs. No boredom trades.

🧠 Mindset Notes

This is a patience day.
The structure is bullish — let it pay you on pullbacks, not emotions.

And one more time so it sticks:
🍼 Baby account stays closed early.
Grind first. Direction later.
You already know where your best trades come from.

SPY (15Min)

Awesome holds of our 687 demand leading to a strong day yesterday. We were able to break above the previous week highs at 690.67/691.35. We now need to see those previous highs defend as new lows.

Would be great to get a SPY pullback to that demand. We are now up at the ATH 695. Will be cautious of any rejections up here.
