In this concise market‑structure commentary, the speaker explains why trading during the pre‑market opening is risky. He observes that the price bubble is being driven down by sellers, indicating they currently control the market, while larger institutional players are poised to defend the price. Because the outcome of this early‑session battle is uncertain, he advises against taking any setups before the market stabilises. He predicts the first meaningful price move will occur about five minutes before the regular open, not at the open itself, and notes that a genuine long move would require the high to be captured within the first 20 minutes of trading. The overall recommendation is to monitor closely, avoid pre‑market trades, and only consider long positions if the price action meets these specific timing criteria.

This is the reason why I never trade the pre market opening, because you see the battle, but you don't know who will win it, because we are stuck in a range. So from the data that we have seen here, the size of the bubble is controlled by sellers. So it means and also the price is going down. So they are winning the battle. But we need to remember that we have these big boys here ready to protect the price. So at the moment, I don't feel confident to check any setup. I prefer that we check closely. We should expect the first drive not at market opening, but five minutes before. And people that trade will see it often like they are preparing the dealing range, testing on the market opening and then getting the call direction. So what I expect is that if we are going to get really long, this high needs to be taken before 20 minutes.
