Condition 1
trendday down on friday

Condition 0
eth in lower third

Thoughts
market stopped near yearly vwap
last sell offs were very short term
like on any other day the market will
1) move up
2) move down, or
3) find balance and balance
After trenddays we often see some balancing in the beginning

Given that we have overhead supply IF we continue down, this thing could get traction
We will never know and we do not need to
I have no bias
I will watch what happens and wait for some sweetspots

20240225 recap



After fridays trendday down market started bearish and explored lower in a and b
Then we became a little too short and started to be more balanced
Resulted in a almost 100% retracement
Further covering was not able to develop
Bears stayed in control
Resulting in overlapping to lower value
Two trenddays in a row are seldom
More common is to see a MOVE followed by some BALANCING (which is what we saw)

20250225 recap



Similar to day before we had an early downmove
and no real second move
also a covering move was not able to gain traction
