Bull Case
| Order | Buy Stop |
| Entry | 23820-23840 |
| Stop | 23720 |
| TP1 | 24040 |
| TP2 | 24280 |
Only participate if price reclaims 23813 and holds; targets are the next supply zones with CPI-driven squeeze risk.
Bear Case
| Order | Sell Stop |
| Entry | 23520-23530 |
| Stop | 23690 |
| TP1 | 23380 |
| TP2 | 23210 |
Continuation trigger under 23534 support; elevated vol favors momentum follow-through toward lower supports if CPI disappoints risk assets.
