🔑 Monday Key Levels
🟥 Resistance: $4,400 → $4,425 → $4,450 → $4,500
🟩 Support: $4,350 → $4,325 → $4,300 → $4,250
📈 Bullish Setup
🟢 If New York holds above $4,400–$4,425, look for a confirmed breakout/retest.
🎯 Targets: $4,450 → $4,500.
📉 Bearish Setup
🔴 Rejection around $4,400–$4,450 followed by a lower high could target:
🎯 $4,375 → $4,350 → $4,325.
🚨 A decisive break below $4,300 would strengthen the bearish scenario toward $4,280–$4,250.
🧠 Monday Strategy
⏳ Let the first New York volatility settle before entering.
📌 Mark the Asian/London high and low.
🟢 Buy confirmed support rejection or breakout/retest.
🔴 Sell confirmed resistance rejection or breakdown/retest.
⚠️ Avoid chasing candles in the middle of the range.
🏆 Overall Bias
🟡 Neutral-to-bullish above $4,350, but $4,400–$4,450 is the key decision zone.
Above $4,450 → bullish continuation.
Below $4,325 → bearish pressure.
Below $4,300 → stronger downside risk.
