⚡ RAIN x Break + Retest Trade Plan — 02/18/26

Ticker: /ES
Timeframe: 30 Min
Bias: Neutral → 6,900 decides
Theme: Reclaim vs Rejection at 6,900

🧭 Context

Today is simple — it’s all about 6,900.

Holding above 6,900 opens room toward:

• 6,920 (Wednesday low)

• 20/50DMA (6,920–6,931)

A reclaim of those DMAs is the true bullish shift.

Below 6,900, pressure rotates back toward:

• 6,868 (100DMA area)

• 6,814 / 6,800 (January low + psych)

Buyers defended January lows and 6,800 yesterday — that support matters.

We are trading between reclaim potential above and strong support below.

Key pivot today: 👉 6,900

Above it → continuation attempt
Below it → failure back into range

📊 Key Levels

🟩 Support / Demand

• 6,863 — PDL / 100DMA pivot

• 6,814 / 6,800 — January low / psych

• 6,770 / 6,750 — Breakdown extension

• 6,680 — Lower support pocket

🟥 Resistance / Supply

• 6,868 / 6,864.50 — Immediate pivot

• 6,900 — Reclaim level

• 6,921–6,934 — 20/50DMA major supply

🔴 A+ Setup — 6,863 Failure Short (Primary)

Zone: Acceptance below 6,863
Trigger:

• 30-min close below

• Failed reclaim of 100DMA

• Lower high into resistance

Targets:

• 6,814

• 6,800

Stop:

• Clean reclaim of 6,900

Notes:
Failure below PDL opens rotation back to January lows.
This is continuation structure.

🟢 Tactical Long — 6,900 Reclaim

Zone: Acceptance above 6,900
Trigger:

• Strong push and hold

• Buyers defend pullback

Targets:

• 6,920

• 6,931

Stop:

• Loss of 6,900 after reclaim

Notes:
Scalp long only unless 20/50DMA clears.
True shift requires acceptance above 6,931.

🔴 Major Supply Rejection

Zone: 6,920–6,931
Trigger:

• Push into zone

• Stall / upper wicks

• No strong acceptance above

Targets:

• 6,900

• 6,863

Stop:

• Clean 30-min close above 6,931

This remains heavy supply until proven otherwise.

🧠 Mindset Notes

6,863 decides downside.
6,900 decides bounce.
6,920 decides structure shift.

If PDL fails → press.
If 6,900 reclaims → scalp.
If 20/50DMA clears → bias shifts.

React to the level. Not the narrative.

SPY (30min)

We saw hit of the 20DMA & Wednesday lows at 689. Rejections right off that level, picture perfect.

Today, we are back at the PDL & if we fail that, Im looking downside towards 680 & the 100DMA. A nice spot to take advantage.

I would need to see SPY above the 20DMA for any real upside continuation trades.
