3/4 Monday Trading Plan
Market Sentiment: Neutral to Bullish
Trading Plan for Monday
Supports to Watch:
Immediate Supports: 5134, 5124 (major), 5113 (major), 5106, 5096 (major), 5093, 5085-87, 5079, 5074 (major), 5063, 5052 (major), 5046, 5039-41 (major), 5034, 5028 (major), 5018, 5013, 4998-5000 (major), 4992, 4987-85 (major), 4975, 4970, 4960-65 (major)
Resistances to Monitor:
Key Resistances: 5144, 5150 (major), 5158, 5163 (major), 5170, 5175, 5183-86 (major), 5190, 5200, 5208-10 (Major), 5216, 5225-30 (major), 5240 (major), 5246 (major), 5259
Trading Strategy:
Cautious Approach After Parabolic Rally: Exercise caution after the recent parabolic move; price needs to establish new levels for clear trading opportunities. Be prepared for choppy, unpredictable action or a pullback.
Reduced Position Size: Limit risk exposure on Monday by trading only a partial position (approximately 20% of previous profits).
Focus on Supports and Demand: Target 5124 and 5113 as primary support zones for potential longs. If 5096 fails, consider the bull flag pattern invalidated and anticipate a deeper pullback. Remain patient until at least the 5052 level before considering new long entries.
Bull Case:
Trend Continuation: The bull market remains in control. Focus on the 5123-5113 and 5096 support zones. Holding above these levels could lead to a consolidation phase (5113-5150) before pushing higher towards 5163, 5183-86, and ultimately 5225.
Adding on Strength (Cautiously): Look for opportunities to add to positions in potential pullbacks or flags that develop off the 5134 area.
Bear Case:
Breakdown Below 5113-5123: A decisive break below these support levels signals a shift in momentum. Consider shorts on failed bounces at 5123/5113, targeting a move down the levels. Use disciplined profit-taking.
