Key Structures
Several big picture structures/levels stand out, arranged from highest to lowest. Notable levels include 4594 (minor resistance), 4479 (minor resistance), 4368 (major resistance), 4335 (minor resistance), 4307 (major resistance), 4279 (major resistance), and 4250 (major support). These are key levels to monitor, providing a snapshot of major structural points within the market.
Support Levels
4250 (major), 4230 (major), 4214 (major), 4205 (major), 4135 (major), 4112 (major), 4321 (minor), 4452 (minor), and 3535 (minor). These levels are pivotal, with major supports being more critical junctures and minor supports offering additional layers of potential price stabilization.
Resistance Levels
4594 (minor), 4479 (minor), 4368 (major), 4335 (minor), 4307 (major), 4279 (major), 4250 (major), 4135 (major), and 3905 (minor). These represent significant barriers to price movement, where we might expect sell-offs or reversals, with major resistances likely posing stronger opposition to upward trends.
Trading Plan
Following the significant rally, caution is advised against immediately purchasing at the first support. Watch for failed breakdowns, which could be opportune moments. The 4230 (major) zone is the first substantial support level for potential entry. Should the price dip further, 4214 to 4205 is another key area with a higher chance of a rebound.
Wrap Up
After three consecutive days of gains, it's prudent to adopt a more cautious stance on long positions. Preferably, a period of consolidation or a slight pullback would be healthy. The bull scenario hinges on holding key levels, especially around 4230 (major) and potentially 4214 as the lowest dip locations. Maintaining these levels could pave the way for an ascent to 4279, followed by a potential retest, then upward to the low 4300s, which seems to be the next target. The bulls retain the upper hand for now.
