⚡ RAIN x Break + Retest Trade Plan — 3/25/26

3/25/20263 min read

Ticker: /ES
Timeframe: 30m
Bias: Neutral / Range → Bullish above 6,684 / Bearish below 6,634
Theme: Compression → wait for obvious expansion

🛡️ Trade Less. Demand Confirmation. Protect Accounts.

🧭 Context

Overnight, ES pushed 6,605 → 6,680, then pulled back to 6,634, establishing a clear range:

Zooming out, price is still digesting the March 23 spike (6,483 → 6,748) and trading inside a broader range under major MAs.

Key idea:
This is range compression, not trend.

  • Above 6,684 → expansion toward 6,700 → 200D (6,754)

  • Below 6,634 → rotation back through range

📊 Key Levels
🟩 Support
  • 6,640–6,634 — overnight support / pivot

  • 6,617 — prior key pivot

  • 6,581–6,562 — broader range support

  • 6,450 — failure extension

🟥 Resistance
  • 6,680–6,684 — overnight range high

  • 6,700 — breakout / acceptance trigger

  • 6,750–6,754 — supply / 200DMA

  • 6,769 — 20DMA

  • 6,888 / 6,904 — 50DMA / 100DMA (bigger extension, not first target)

🟢 B+ Setup — Range Low Hold Long

Zone: 6,640–6,634

Trigger

  • Pullback into overnight support

  • Buyers defend

  • Higher low forms / no clean acceptance below

Targets

  • 6,680

  • 6,700

Stop

  • Acceptance below 6,617

Notes: This is the cleanest long inside the current range. If buyers are still in control, they should keep defending this area.

🟢 A+ Setup — Range Breakout

Zone: Above 6,684

Trigger

  • Break and HOLD above 6,684

  • No immediate rejection

  • Ideally acceptance into/over 6,700

Targets

  • 6,700

  • 6,750–6,754 (200DMA)

Stop

  • Loss of 6,660

Notes: This is the real continuation setup. But don’t confuse a wick through highs with acceptance. If it’s real, it should stay bid.

🔴 A+ Setup — Failed Breakout / Range Rejection

Zone: 6,684 → 6,700

Trigger

  • Push into overnight highs / 6,700

  • Weak continuation or sharp rejection

  • Loss of 6,660 / rotation back into range

Targets

  • 6,640

  • 6,617

  • 6,581

Stop

  • Acceptance above 6,705

Notes: This is a strong setup because we are still trading under major overhead MAs. Until 6,700 is accepted, strength can still be sold.

🔴 A+ Setup — Range Breakdown

Zone: Below 6,634

Trigger

  • Loss of overnight low

  • Failed reclaim

  • Acceptance back below 6,617

Targets

  • 6,581

  • 6,562

  • 6,450

Stop

  • Reclaim above 6,660

Notes: If overnight support fails, then the whole “buyers are defending” story starts to crack.

🧩 RAIN Confirmation

1️⃣ 15m acceptance at 6,634 or 6,684
2️⃣ Reaction at range extremes only
3️⃣ VWAP aligned with direction
4️⃣ No trades in the middle of the range

⏳ Best window: 10–11:30AM

🚫 No chasing inside 6,650–6,670
🚫 No trading the middle of the range
🚫 No breakout longs unless 6,684/6,700 actually hold

🧠 Mindset Notes
  • You are not here to trade — you are here to execute one clean opportunity

  • Yesterday proved it → one trade can do everything

  • If it’s not obvious, do nothing — that is winning

  • After your win: you are done. No second chances, no exceptions

🛑 Kill Switch (Non-Negotiable)
  • Hit your target → CLOSE PLATFORM

  • No “one more trade”

  • No giving it back

SPY (15min)

Need to reclaim the 200DMA on SPY... there is really nothing else more important here for the bulls.
