Context
Yesterday’s selloff held firmly around 7,345, and buyers reclaimed key levels overnight. We are now holding above: 7,366–7,375 (prior highs) 7,390–7,395 (Wednesday highs) That shifts the market back into continuation mode. Key structure now: 7,390–7,395 = primary continuation support 7,366–7,375 = deeper pullback support 7,410 = breakout trigger 7,345 = line in the sand This is NOT the environment to aggressively fade highs unless the market clearly fails. Key idea: Buy pullbacks until structure breaks Don’t fight trend at highs

- The 730 lows from yesterday will be a main level moving forward. Holding above that low will be crucial. Any fail below that in the future will spark downside. We reclaimed the Wednesday pre market highs between 731.70/732.56, spot to watch for pullbacks today. We have reclaimed the Wednesday HOD at 734.14/734.59, look for that to hold as a higher low today for a move into 736+
