RTY & ES – Compression → Break → Failure
This week had some of those sessions where nothing happens… until everything does.
Most of the days were tight. Overlapping candles. No real directional commitment. Just compression building.
Then we finally got the expansion.
RTY & ES broke higher out of the tight range and pushed fast. Looked strong. Clean breakout. Momentum showed up.
But here’s the part that mattered:
No acceptance above it.
Instead, we got rejection.
From those failure points above, the move to the downside was roughly a $3,000 contract swing on either instrument with minimal risk.
That was the real opportunity.
What stood out:
• Clear early compression
• Strong breakout attempt
• Immediate stall at a key level
• Clean rotation back to lower structure
Reminder: Breakouts alone are not the edge.
If you traded it, how did you approach it?
Break and go?
Wait for failure?
Or sit out the chop early?
Curious what you saw.
