Sunday Open Watchlist (Ranked Top to Bottom) 1. /CL Crude Oil Futures Bias: Volatile / Bullish Rebound Support / Resistance: $88.50 | $93.50 Gap Potential: HIGH (Geopolitical / Iran News Risk) (Headline sensitive) Sunday Open Plan: Takes the #1 spot following Friday's settlement at $90.34. Crude experienced a massive sell off last week (~15-16% drop) on U.S./Iran diplomatic headlines. Energy remains the highest headline beta asset on the board heading into Sunday Globex watch for immediate gap open risk if weekend talks stall or regional security reports escalate. 2. /NG Henry Hub Natural Gas Futures Bias: Bullish (Breakout / Seasonal Demand) Support / Resistance: $2.920 | $3.120 Gap Potential: HIGH (Weather / Storage Risk) Sunday Open Plan: Settled cleanly above key psychological ground at $3.003 (+1.73% on Friday). As seasonal heating draws kick into gear, natural gas carries strong upside momentum. Primed for a gap higher open if weekend 8 to 14 day weather models project colder trends across major demand centers. 3. /SIL Micro Silver Futures Bias: Bullish (High-Beta Rebound) Support / Resistance: $50.50 | $53.80 Gap Potential: HIGH (Upside Breakout) Sunday Open Plan: Settled at $51.960 into the weekend. Silver continues to trade with high beta relative to gold. If the U.S. dollar index softens on Sunday evening following Friday's hot jobs report (+165k vs +59k exp), /SIL offers high reward tactical continuation setups above $52.00. 4. /MNQ Micro E-mini Nasdaq-100 Futures Bias: Moderately Bullish (Tech Bounce) Support / Resistance: 26,750 | 27,450 Gap Potential: Moderate Sunday Open Plan: Settled at 27,107.25 after tech equities rebounded on Friday from Thursday's severe AI sell off. Heavy volume anchor (4.25M volume on Globex/CME). Look for orderly upside drift toward 27,400+ as long as 10 year Treasury yields don't surge on Sunday night. 5. /GC Gold Futures Bias: Neutral to Bullish Support / Resistance: $4,020 | $4,135 Gap Potential: Moderate (Upside Bias) Sunday Open Plan: Settled green at $4,079.50. Strong nonfarm payroll numbers pushed bond yields up and raised Fed rate hike odds slightly, but macro uncertainty keeps a firm safe haven floor under gold. Lower beta than silver, but offers a clean, structured trend setup on Globex. 6. /MES Micro E-mini S&P 500 Futures Bias: Neutral to Bullish Support / Resistance: 7,320 | 7,480 Gap Potential: Low Sunday Open Plan: Settled at 7,404.00 (1.74M volume). Solid middle of the road benchmark after absorbing Friday's mixed labor market data. Best evaluated for standard Sunday evening Opening Range Breakout (ORB) entries once Globex volume builds. 7. /M2K Micro E-mini Russell 2000 Futures Bias: Bearish / Tactical Rate Pressure Support / Resistance: 2,710 | 2,820 Gap Potential: Low-to-Moderate Sunday Open Plan: Settled red at 2,761.10. Small-caps faced distinct drag following Friday's strong payroll print, which pushed yields higher and squeezed interest rate sensitive equities. Best treated as a tactical squeeze play off 2,750 support or a relative short. 8. /PL Platinum Futures Bias: Mildly Bullish (Sympathy) Support / Resistance: $1,500 | $1,570 Gap Potential: Low Sunday Open Plan: Settled green at $1,537.00. Moving in sympathy with gold's green close. Lacks the independent speculative volume of silver and gold (16k volume), making it a secondary tracker if silver overextends. 9. /MYM Micro E-mini Dow Jones Futures Bias: Bearish / Relative Weakness Support / Resistance: 50,900 | 51,800 Gap Potential: Low Sunday Open Plan: Settled red at 51,387. Relative underperformer on the board as industrial and financial heavyweights lagged tech momentum. Remains the primary candidate for relative weakness short setups against /MNQ or /SIL.
