20251017 pre market



News
no important news scheduled

Condition 1
nervous balancing inside the liquidation day

Condition 0
eth explored below the swing low but gets rejected
> This is bullish and often (not always) spills over to the rth session

Thoughts
Last 4 days we see no continued direction
Short term traders shoot themselves into corners and get trapped
Trade accordingly until this changes and we see continuation

News

1100 trump

Condition 1
5 day balance

Structure below is weak
I would trade long but with caution
After a big shake out below the liquidation low i would trade long with much more confidence

Condition 1
we have overlapping balance areas or one big one
Looking at the last 2 days we have gap and singles (excess) followed by sideways consolidation (balance)

Condition 0
whole eth is in that mentioned short term balance (grey rectangle on tpo chart)

Thoughts
Be guided by the short term balance

Ugly day with misleading mgi (market generated information)

Break lower looked good with good volume
but retraced very far
Made a new low with little range extension
retraced again nearly 100%
but then again made a new low

This is not what a break on day 1 should look like

There is no structure to guide us from the last days at the moment
Wait if an opportunity develops solely from intraday
