Condition 1
break out of 6 day balance

Condition 0
large gap down
oni is short

Thoughts
Given the fast rise last week this can be a healthy consolidation to high of older balance/monthly vwap/ 38.2 retracement
Of course this could also be the start of a bigger down move, we never know
Do not jump on
Do not catch bottom
Be smart, wait what develops

yesterdays abc is excess and we have produced value out of range (bullish)
