Analysis
Price at 157.82 sits 0.8 ATR below EMA20 157.98 and below the Bollinger midline 157.96, positioning us to fade the recent bounce into resistance at swing high 158.34. We need 157.69 (last swing low) to hold as support on the way to Target 1 156.95. A break above 158.31 stops the setup before reaching target.
Chart
How to use this setup. A setup is a study of where the engine sees a favourable risk/reward, not a call to trade. Check the current price and structure first: the daily technical analysis shows live levels, and the dashboard a 15-minute read.
