Top long setup
Failed-breakdown longs (best first):
🥇 7,700 (round-number support): flush + reclaim → long toward 7,720.25, then 7,725
🥈 7,631.75 (major shelf ★): deeper backup if the first fails
🥉 7,542.75 (major shelf ★): deeper, take it if it reaches
Entry rule: wait for acceptance , price holds back above the level, or reclaims by ~5 pts and holds a couple minutes (don't knife-catch). Then manage level-to-level and leave a runner.
Top short setup
Rejection shorts (secondary, lower win-rate , best first):
🥇 7,739.25 (detected shelf): reject + fail to hold → short toward 7,720.25
🥈 7,770.5 (detected shelf): next resistance up
🥉 7,800 (detected shelf): higher, take it if it reaches
Continuation: breakdown of 7,700 that holds below → 7,695.25. Wait for acceptance the same way; size down , most breakdowns trap.
