What is working

What could go wrong

  • Activity pressure is negative, which weakens the current setup.
  • Next-week expectancy is negative at 30.99% based on similar historical setup states.
  • Activity pressure is weak, so confirmation is not yet broad enough.
What to watch next
  • Activity pressure is the gauge to monitor for confirmation or fade.
  • A volume ratio above 1.5x would show stronger participation in the next move.
