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

3/3/20262 min read


Ticker: /ES
Timeframe: 1HR
Bias: Fade resistance unless reclaimed
Theme: Rally into supply → Lower high opportunity

🛡️Trade Less. Demand Confirmation. Protect Accounts.
  • Only trade at defined levels — if it’s mid-range or unclear, it’s a pass.

  • Match size and frequency to conditions — chop = reduce activity, not increase it.

  • Eliminate urgency — baby accounts grow through defense, not forcing offense.

🧭 Context

Plan today is simple:

Look for a push higher into Monday LOD (6,802–6,811).

That zone is the pivot.

If price rallies into it and stalls, a lower high rejection sets up a clean short back toward 6,750 (September high).

If 6,750 breaks, momentum likely expands toward:

  • 6,727

  • 6,682

  • Daily 200DMA below that

However…

If we reclaim and hold above 6,802, the short thesis is invalid and the focus shifts higher toward 6,841–6,847.

📊 Key Levels
🟩 Support
  • 6,750 — September high / key pivot

  • 6,727 — Breakdown level

  • 6,682 — Major support / near 200DMA

🟥 Resistance
  • 6,802–6,811 — Monday LOD / supply pivot

  • 6,841–6,847 — Friday lower day / heavy resistance

🔴 A+ Setup — 6,802–6,811 Rejection Short

Zone: 6,802–6,811
Trigger:

  • Push into level

  • Clear rejection on 15m

  • Lower high forms

  • No acceptance above

Targets:

  • 6,750

  • 6,727 (if momentum builds)

Stop:

  • 15m acceptance above 6,811

This is the cleanest setup on the board.

🟢 A+ Setup Hold + Acceptance above 6791

Condition: Strong move and hold above 6791

Trigger:

  • 15m close above

  • Pullback holds support

  • Buyers defend retest

Targets:

  • 6802

  • 6811

  • 6841

Stop:

  • Loss of 6,802

This flips structure intraday.

🔻 Breakdown Scenario

If we lose 6,750 cleanly:

Expect acceleration toward 6,727 → 6,682
That opens the path toward the daily 200DMA.

Do not short directly into 6,750 without confirmation — wait for acceptance below.

🧠 Mindset Notes

6,802–6,811 decides direction.
Below = fade rallies.
Above = shift long.

Trade the rejection.
Trade the reclaim.
Avoid the chop in between.

SPY (15 Min)

You have some very important demand between 671 and 674. I would first look for a move higher towards Monday LOD or Friday LOD for a lower high rejection today. If we reclaim Friday LOD and the 100 DMA, then we can look for longs once again just like yesterday.
