Session Playbook
Bull Case
| Order | Buy Limit |
| Entry | 24438-24462 |
| Stop | 24309 |
| TP1 | 24613 |
| TP2 | 24754 |
Buy the pivot retest while it holds; bulls need defense of 24450 to re-attack R1 and extend momentum.
Bear Case
| Order | Sell Limit |
| Entry | 24601-24625 |
| Stop | 24754 |
| TP1 | 24309 |
| TP2 | 24146 |
Fade only into R1 supply; elevated volatility argues against chasing highs unless buyers clear 24613 decisively.
