Two scenarios:
β’ High probability: Bounce from here back to 79.5Kβ80K (oversold reversion)
β’ Lower probability but dangerous: Lose 78.4K β cascade to 76K
Action plan:
β’ β
Scalp long from current zone with tight SL (78,400)
β’ β
Better long: wait for reclaim of 79,200
β’ β Don't short the low β late entry, near support
β’ π― Macro bullish above 74K still intact
