Something between non-trend and neutral
All responsive trades won
All initiative trades lost
After the fact i should have only traded responsive :-)
Lost 10 points, no problem at all

I started responsive with the assumption that the balance area is key
As they succesfully broke out of it i changed to short

Condition 1
yesterday we broke out of a 4 day balance area
higher tf are all up

Condition 0
eth was in lower third of range or below

Thoughts
We have to see if this is the start of a bigger pullback or if buyers step in fast
acceptance back in the upper balance area would signalize the latter
Anchored vwap from the bottom or monthly vwap could help us judge

Condition 1
with powell comments market jumped up
Now we are back in the upper balance area
For now the pullback on the daily is finished

Condition 0
eth tested a bit below fridays belly but not much

Signposts for today can be bellly l, onl, fridays mid
A test lower that fails can be a long opportunity

20250826 recap



We saw minor shake out to the downside that was not abe to get the onl
I bought first signs of strenghth after this
We accepted in the belly but did not see much passion
I had to leave for an appointment, left position in with targets at poc (which i missed by a point) and y rth h
In the end we saw some late liquidation

10:00 numbers
tomorrow amc nvda

Condition 1
Following the powell boost on friday we had some consolidation yesterday

Condition 0
eth tested lower into fridays single prints
we open near y low

Thoughts
If we see rth acceptance below fridays mid /below y range i would start to question the up direction

Not much bias here from my side
Look what develops and go for a smaller scalp
