Bull Case
| Order | Buy Limit |
| Entry | 23959-23967 |
| Stop | 23838 |
| TP1 | 24156 |
| TP2 | 24229 |
Dip-buy at S1 with stop below S2; rebound into R1 and R2 works if support survives Fed-risk positioning.
Bear Case
| Order | Sell Stop |
| Entry | 24031-24039 |
| Stop | 24164 |
| TP1 | 23846 |
| TP2 | 23774 |
Failure back under pivot keeps sellers in control and exposes S2 then S3 if US-event caution deepens.
