Session theme: “Snap’s Trap” – Capital preservation with Friday breakout payoff
Market stories and flows
Ptgdavid opens sessions early with caution, suggesting that it could be a “Dazed n -confuzed” day. Initial analysis focused on a Long lean from the 5495–5485 zonewhere we saw buyers have critical support. This zone coincided with several technical references pointed out by Blibby71. Overnight pullbacks are low and previously high.
As the morning unfolded, the Bulls established early control at prices that respected the support zone. David emphasized The importance of control and confirmation (C&C) If it is 5525 or higher, label it as “battle territory.” A slight dip followed (“The bull is slipping on soap”), but the Bulls regained their footing, pushing prices higher, testing them, and eventually broke above 5520.
