9:30-10am candles, part of pre-market trend or not?

[Sprout]

Should the opening candles be read as part of the pre-market pattern, or as their own individual trend?

E.g. If premarket was going down, and opening candles up, I'm looking at a pullback for short.

If opening candles are their own thing, I'm looking at a long.

Is this CVS move up from 9:45 an indication of upward pressure, or just a pullback for the pre-market movement down?

The pre-market has different characteristics then the RTH. Degapping from the closing of the previous day's trading to the opening of the current day, insights are available. This is true provided sufficient liquidity exists in the trading instrument.

To the OP, whatever support or resistance you see in pre market consider using it in the regular session or evaluate it .

of curse. I wish it was that simple, so only one component is needed

cornerstone,

It is about being logical, you can't argue with what the chart is showing you. If price reacted at an area in premarket, there is nothing wrong with considering that area in your trading after market. You just observing and waiting. we gotta make it simple and remove some doubt

I like to remove my doubts with some more instruments, even in the price of losing a trade that looks very good, in the long run it keeps me safe from more losing trades.
