US100 Long Setup (1H)

Trade Logic:
- Entry: Long within the 1-hour Fair Value Gap (FVG) located in the discount zone relative to this timeframe.

Confluence Factors:
- Bullish Momentum: The market is strongly bullish, with price action consistently breaking resistance and forming higher highs.
- Relative Aggression: While the FVG is in a discount zone on the 1H timeframe, higher timeframes do not confirm the same, making this a relatively aggressive trade.
- Supportive Context: Recent pullback aligns with the FVG, offering a potential continuation opportunity as buyers step in.
- Risk-Reward: Minimum 1:2 RRR with a tight stop-loss of 50 points, ensuring disciplined risk management.
- Target: TP1 at the next intraday resistance; TP2 near psychological levels like 15,500.

Macro Context:
- Market Sentiment: Strong risk-on sentiment in equities as major indices rally, supported by favorable economic data and dovish central bank tone.
- Tech Strength: Nasdaq constituents leading the charge with inflows into growth and tech sectors, further reinforcing bullish momentum.
- Volatility: VIX remains low, indicating stable conditions conducive to continuation of bullish trends.

Additional Consideration:
While this setup is aggressive, the bullish momentum makes it a calculated risk worth attempting. Keep stops tight and monitor if price fails to hold the FVG. Reassess if higher timeframe resistance levels come into play, suggesting a larger pullback.
