4/1 Trade Plan

Bias · Neutral → Bullish above 6,680 / Bearish below 6,552 Grind into resistance → react, don’t predict

Key levels

6,700Resistance · extension / trap zone
6,680Resistance · decision level
6,552Support · hold or fail

Context

We’re holding above 6,552, which keeps the grind higher intact. Above 6,680, we push into major resistance (20D → 200D). This is a prove-it move into supply, not a chase environment.

★ A+ Setup

Pop & Fade (Primary)

Zone
6,680 → 6,700
Trigger
Push into resistance; Clear rejection
Target
6600 → 6552
Invalidation
Acceptance above 6,710

This remains the best trade: Extended move + HTF resistance = sell strength

A+ Setup

Pullback Long (ONLY if obvious)

Zone
6552
Trigger
Hold + clean reaction
Target
6,680
Invalidation
Loss of 6540

If it’s real, it bounces clean. No chop.

How it played out

The primary setup never confirmed, so there was no trade.

price never reached 6680. Measured from m15 bars, ESM6, confirm entry, touch-based invalidation. Not a fill, and not a return: see how this is measured.
