Two scenarios to watch — not a prediction

Sweep above

Price runs up to 30021.30, then 30673.40. Watch whether it closes back below (a sweep that fails to hold) or keeps closing above (a breakout that has to be respected).

Sweep below

Price runs down to 29070.40, then 28871 – 28901, then 28745.50. Watch whether it closes back above (stops taken, buyers return) or keeps closing below (the move continues).

Sessions: Asia · London · New York

Each session's high and low is a pool of stops. Which ones were already taken, and did price reject them (closed back inside) or accept them (held beyond)? Now: Asia.

These are levels where stops are likely to sit, not entries. Price can go through any of them. Always use a stop loss and keep risk small — a common rule is 1% of the account or less on a single trade.
