20250226 recap



we covered in the first half of the day to the area double week low/anchored vwap from start of move
In g we rolled over in trend direction without reaching the swing low

I had some problems in the belly
I was too close on the tick
Better get a bit more distance to tick behaviour in that situation (covering in downtrend)

20250227 recap



started with a very fast break
then we saw a huge volume peak followed by > 70% retracement
for me that looked like big buyers
in the end we were only shortterm oversold
sellers remainded in contol and pushed lower

News
09:45 pmi

Condition 1
yesterday we broke out of the small and the larger balance area
if condition remains we are in a bigger selloff


Condition 0

whole eth trades in lower half of spike which is bearish

Thoughts
failing covering rallies should be sellable

20250303 pre market



News
09:45 and 10:00 numbers

Condition 1
we looked below big balance and failed (for now)

Condition 0
week ended with a covering spike up
eth trades in upper part of spike and above

Thoughts
the whole thing seems to be more of a sector rotation than systemic sell off
weakness in tech and strength in health and fin
tough to trade in es
go back to more scalping and less going for moves

No controlled context playing out
this is not a time to take risks and antipate moves

wait for a established situation
scalp the first pullback
