Volatility and rates confirmation
Lower VIX with a stable 10Y keeps risk appetite supported; renewed volatility would pressure stretched longs.
16:00

Session Playbook
Bull Case
| Order | Buy Limit |
| Entry | 25193-25217 |
| Stop | 25115 |
| TP1 | 25323 |
| TP2 | 25425 |
Dip-buy only if S1 absorbs selling; upside continuation needs R1 acceptance without chasing the stretched high.

| Order | Sell Limit |
| Entry | 25311-25335 |
| Stop | 25425 |
| TP1 | 25205 |
| TP2 | 25115 |
Fade exhaustion at R1 while Eurozone volatility is elevated; rejection keeps risk defined against R2.
