US2000 ๐ US2000 Index โ Thief Plan: LSMA Pullback + Layered Entries ๐๐ Trading Plan (Swing / Day Trade)
Strategy: Bullish LSMA moving average pullback plan ๐
Thief Style Entries (Layering Method):
Multiple buy-limit layers at 2340 / 2350 / 2360 / 2370
You can increase layers based on your own strategy & risk ๐งฉ
Stop Loss (SL): Thief SL @ 2310 (adjust based on your own plan & risk) ๐ก๏ธ
Target (TP): Strong resistance at 2450 โ ๏ธ โ โPolice barricadeโ ๐
Note: This is not a fixed TP recommendation. Thief OGโs ๐ญ, take profits where it fits your risk and reward. ๐ฐ
โ Why This Plan? (Thief Logic)
๐น Technical (Thief Strategy)
Bulls loading pressure with LSMA pullback signals ๐.
Layered entries reduce timing risk and allow multiple profit grabs.
Strong resistance ahead at 2450 = escape zone before โpolice barricadeโ ๐จ.
๐น Sentimental Reasoning
Retail sentiment 58% bullish ๐ข vs. 32% bearish ๐ด โ optimism is leaning upward.
Institutions also show 52% bullish bias, confirming retail direction โ๏ธ.
Fear & Greed index at 52/100 = Neutral ๐ โ balanced emotions, not overheated.
๐น Fundamental Reasoning
Earnings growth ~12% expected in 2025 ๐ผ supporting equity demand.
Consumer spending still rising (+0.5% in July) ๐๏ธ keeps the economy resilient.
Fed policy steady at 4.25%โ4.50% ๐ฆ = stable environment for stocks.
๐น Macro Reasoning
Inflation above Fed target (Core PCE 2.9% y/y) ๐ = caution flag.
Trade tariffs ๐ add uncertainty, but no crash-level risk.
Fed rate cut expected in September ๐ฝ = bullish fuel if confirmed.
๐ Thief Conclusion: Fundamentals ๐ผ + Sentiment ๐ง + Macro ๐ align with a slightly bullish thief setup. The layering style plan matches the market bias โ stack the layers, steal the profits, and escape before 2450 barricade hits ๐๐ฐ.
