| TP Ladder | 3965 | 3950 | 3935 → 3920 (bear) · 4021 → 4058 (bull) |
WAIT — 56$ dump to 3965 into month-end. Prefer bounce rejection at 3973–3989 or confirmed break below 3965, not chase of lows.
- SELL A: rejection in 3973–3989 with clear 1H rejection (not a touch alone).
- SELL B: break of 3965 + failed retest (preferred structure).
- BUY C only above 3995–4005 reclaim. Benchmark = London Open 3973.
BUY only if 3995–4005 reclaim holds with successful retest. SL 3988. Until then sell bias holds.
- SELL path weakens if 3989 then 3995–4005 reclaim with acceptance.
- BUY path invalid if 3988 lost after a failed breakout attempt.
- ECI today can reprice DXY/yields and force full map redraw.
CFBI 67 SELL. London Open 3973. Prefer SELL A on 3973–3989 rejection or SELL B below 3965. BUY only above 3995–4005. ECI + month-end.
| HIGH | Hot PCE + strong GDP: Core PCE 3.1% y/y and GDP 3.4% keep Dec hike odds ~72%. |
| HIGH | ECI today: Employment Cost Index can reprice wage/inflation path into the close. |
| MEDIUM | Month-end flows: Positioning into the weekend can exaggerate moves near 3965. |
| MEDIUM | Near LO/low: Selling 3965 without confirmation has poor R:R after a 56$ dump. |
