The bulls are having to deal with a two-tiered S&R Zone to break through. If they can't, then back down to the other S&R Zone, like a Ping Pong Game.
But if they break through this, the next goal is to rise above the S&R Zone to go up higher.



A new S&R Zone formed, making it two-tiered on the hourly. A bearish candle is dropping from it and towards another S&R Zone below. Let's see if we get a game of Ping Pong between these two Zones.
As a reminder, there's still an Up swing coming, based on the Popgun pattern on the 4-Hour timeframe. After this bear run is over, we'll see a bull run. After that bull run is over, it will pivot for a last swing to the downside, like a See-Saw.
*Personally, I'm not totally convinced we'll get a deeper drop down more because the bulls already showed themselves in the fight earlier when that tall Doji formed. I see the bulls "waiting in the wings" to take the reigns.

We have a Double Inside Day on the Hourly. That means that a BIG move is coming, sometime during this session.
Also, this tall Pinbar Hammer has a long lower wick. If a bearish candle shows up in the new hour to fill it partially or in full, then the next move will be to the upside. But if this doesn't happen right away, the wick can be filled later on.
*Side Note:
A gigantic W-shaped pattern is forming. Let's see if we get the last leg, which is a long bullish trend.
