S&P500 NY Open Plan: Premarket Range Play

105
Going into NY open, price is sitting inside the premarket high/low range on the 1H timeframe.

Higher timeframe structure is still bearish — lower highs, continuation legs, and price trading below key EMAs. That gives us a directional lean, but not a reason to force a trade early.

Right now this is a compression phase. Liquidity is building inside the range.

The plan is simple: let price show its hand at the open, then react.

Scenario 1 (more likely):
Given the current structure, a break below the premarket low has higher probability. If we get a clean break and acceptance below, I’ll be looking for continuation into prior lows and liquidity below. Ideally, this comes with a small pullback or lower timeframe confirmation before entry.

Scenario 2:
If price breaks above the premarket high, I’m not chasing it immediately. Most of the time these become traps. I’ll be watching for weak continuation or a shift back below the range to look for shorts.

Scenario 3 (less likely but valid):
If price breaks above and actually holds — building higher lows above the range — then structure starts to shift. That’s when longs become valid targeting the next areas of liquidity above.

Key idea:
No trade inside the range. That’s where most get chopped.

We’re not predicting — we’re reacting.

Let the open create direction, then align with it.
