Condition 1
Balance !

Condition 0
open near the low of y

Thoughts
Yesterday the eth also brought us lower. Will the rth go up again (like yesterday) ?
Or will we challenge the low of the balance area (which would be normal market behaviour)?
Remains to be seen. Wait for clear signs, do not act on ticks

Added: yesterday low is weak
