Bias reasoning
Bearish tilt , under the 7,745.25 Pivot a rejection short is in play, but the failed-breakdown long is still the A+ setup on any reclaim. Manage level-to-level.

Top long setup
Failed-breakdown longs (best first):
🥇 7,737 (detected shelf): flush + reclaim → long toward 7,745.25, then 7,748.75
🥈 7,726 (detected shelf): deeper backup if the first fails
🥉 7,717.25 (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):
🥇 7,767.75 (detected shelf): reject + fail to hold → short toward 7,745.25
🥈 7,782 (major shelf ★): next resistance up
🥉 7,796.5 (detected shelf): higher, take it if it reaches
Continuation: breakdown of 7,737 that holds below → 7,726. Wait for acceptance the same way; size down , most breakdowns trap.
