⚡ RAIN x Break + Retest Trade Plan — 02/10/26

2/10/20262 min read


Ticker: /ES
Timeframe: 1 HR
Bias: Neutral → Bullish if structure holds
Theme: Higher-low test → Continuation only if earned

🧭 Context

We’re at an important decision area. The 6,969–6,981 zone is now the referee.
If this area holds as a higher low, ES has a real shot to continue higher.

This is not a chase environment. It’s a pullback & prove-it market.

Key idea today:
👉 Hold above prior resistance = continuation
👉 Lose 6,920 = rotation back to the 100DMA
👉 Until then, stay patient and trade reactions

📊 Key Levels

🟩 Support / Demand

  • 6,969–6,981 — Higher-low zone / former supply

  • 20 & 50 DMA — Pullback buy candidates

  • 6,920 — Line in the sand

  • 6,870 — 100DMA / downside magnet if 6,920 fails

🟥 Resistance / Supply

  • 7,030–7,043 — Major upside test / rejection zone

  • 6,969–6,981 — Major rejection zone

  • 7,030 — Only if 6,981 clears cleanly

🟢 A+ Setup — Higher-Low Continuation Long (Primary)

Zone: 6,969–6,981 or 20/50DMA pullback
Trigger:

  • Pullback holds above 6,969

  • No acceptance below 6,920

  • Buyers defend structure

  • Delta stabilizes / turns positive

  • VWAP supports price

Targets:

  • 7,030

  • Extension: 7,043

Stop:

  • Acceptance below 6,920

Notes:
This is a structure long, not a breakout chase.
Let price come to you.

🔴 Secondary Setup — Failure & Rotation Short (Conditional)

Zone: Acceptance below 6,920
Trigger:

  • Loss of 6,920

  • Failed reclaim

  • Lower high on retest

  • Delta flips negative

  • VWAP caps price

Targets:

  • 6,870 (100DMA)

Stop:

  • Reclaim back above 6,920

Notes:
No shorts into support.
This only activates if structure clearly breaks.

🟡 Rejection Fade — Upper Supply Short

Zone: 7,030–7,043
Trigger:

  • Push into supply

  • Immediate rejection

  • Absorption at highs

  • Delta divergence

Targets:

  • 6,981

  • 6,969

Stop:

  • Clean acceptance above 7,043

Notes:
Fade the reaction, not the number.

🧩 RAIN Confirmation

1️⃣ Directional candle (no chop, no overlap)
2️⃣ Delta confirms direction
3️⃣ VWAP aligned
4️⃣ Reaction at the level, not mid-range

Best window: 10–11:00 AM
🚫 No mid-range boredom trades

🧠 Mindset Notes

This is a professional patience day.

Above 6,969 → stay constructive.
Below 6,920 → flip the script.
In between → do nothing and feel good about it.

The market will show its hand.
Your job is to not flinch before it does.

SPY (30Min)

The 50DMA & Thursday PMH at 687.50 is now a very key spot to be watching. That hold early morning was the key for upside intra-day.

We are now above the 693/694 previous rejection zone. If we see this turn into new lows today, we are going to ATH on SPY towards that 698/700 high.

I would only look for short side here if we fail PDL & the 50DMA for a downside move into 684
