The "Sunday Open" Secret: Why the First 5 Minutes MatterE-mini Nasdaq-100 FuturesCME_MINI_DL:NQ1!StewnomicsMost traders wait for the Monday London or New York session to find a move. Pro traders look at the Sunday Open. The first 5-minute candle on Sunday isn't just a price point—it’s a Institutional Footprint. Here is why this zone is the most important level on your chart all week: 🎯 Why the 5-Minute Zone? Gap Analysis: It defines the "Opening Gap." Whether price fills it immediately or rejects it, the reaction tells you who is in control: the bulls or the bears. The Weekly Anchor: This zone often acts as the "Magnet" or "Mirror." If price stays above the Sunday 5-min zone, we maintain a Bullish Bias; if below, we look for Sells. Low-Risk Entries: By using this zone as a point of confluence, your stop losses are tighter. You aren’t guessing direction; you’re trading the rejection or retest of the Sunday level. 🛠 How to Trade It Mark the Zone: Draw a box around the high and low of the first 5-minute candle on Sunday night. Watch the Deviation: Often, the mid-week "Stop Run" will try to break this zone and fail. That’s your high-probability entry. Set & Forget: Use this level as your "North Star" for TP (Take Profit) or trailing stops throughout Thursday and Friday. Bottom Line: Don't chase the Monday volatility. Let the Sunday Open set the range, then trade the bounces. 📉📈 #TradingStrategy #ForexTips #SundayOpen #PriceAction #SmartMoneyConcep
