Context
Overnight high came in at 7,269, with a pullback into 7,213 (ONL). We’re currently around 7,246, sitting right under resistance. That tells us: Pullback into demand did its job (for now) Market is now deciding: Higher low → continuation OR Lower high → rejection Key idea: 7,211 holds → bullish continuation 7,255 rejects → lower high Break above → trend resumes

Mindset
- This is a decision day, not a trend day (yet)
- Let levels decide → don’t predict
- One clean trade → done
- If it’s not obvious → sit out
- SPY (30MIN)
- Good pullback into key demand between 715.80/716.87. If we can create a higher low there, SPY can maintain. Need to see a reclaim of the 720.50 spot. Cautious of this 720 spot turning into a lower high rejection spot. Reclaim is very important here. If we break below 715.80, we get a move lower towards 712.88.
