What is working
  • Price is above Fair Value, showing premium demand versus the model.
  • Next-week expectancy is positive at 57.65% based on similar historical setup states.
What could go wrong

  • Price is below the Trend Line, which keeps downside pressure in focus.
  • Activity pressure is negative, which weakens the current setup.
  • Activity pressure is weak, so confirmation is not yet broad enough.
What to watch next
