3341.50 has some R it needs to close/ sustain above.. It may act as a soft R and push it back to 3302.26 support. possible buy area 3302 unless below sustained

if you find a entry you like. out of caution.. I will tp 1216 area. It may have a bounce back to 1267/70 left in it. I took the short before. I dont like swimming where i can't see land. The ship already pushed away from the dock. the 1278 area was a better entry i saw. Plus it pushed higher but ran back below..
I got 2 scenarios a bounce 1216/21 area back to 1267/70 area. Or maybe a bounce 1187 area back to 1221, or even 1267..I thinks 1187/1142 can have some power.

If we break 1253.5 now 1226.4 has some medium support. It could stall there too (so it may bounce w/o hitting 1216). But 1216 now till 9pm est can support,, I mean a little poke below may still close above 1216. 1221 may take it after 9pm, if it supports back to 1267, where there can be R 1270 ish.. Plus 1278 is there.. It didnt change

Like right now I have a 1.5% profit floating. that's real money, that's still at risk. To make a little less than 5%. I can't tell you to jump in. W/o some good stops. Your trading is customized to you. I try to lay it out before, so a decision if, that, what, and why, can be evaluated ahead.

less than 36m left.. I hoped it would fall so i didnt have to deal with the spread Sunday. Now that it has not fallen. If it does Sunday in the first hour. The spread may screw up a entry and tp

It looks like pa may close below 1267 and maybe 1250. .. i left a chance to bounce from 1216 back to 1267 in above post. That bounce has lessened its chances. It may gap down and run to 1187 without that bounce. 1267 may come up if its a hard "V" down Monday. For a chance to bounce back later next week. I removed my 1216 tp..
If it blows past 1187.. 1145 ish may produce a bounce
