        • What is the mar­ket narrative?
          • HTF Squeeze CAR area
      • TTF
        • TTF R Over­bought posi­tion pos­si­ble reversal
      • Bias
        • Short on short-term but need more confirmation
      • Oppor­tu­ni­ty (if any)
        • What set­up am I going to stalk?
          • TTF R over­bought VWAP BD
    • 17:35
      • HTF
        • What is the mar­ket narrative?
          • Same
      • TTF
        • I’ve seen this pat­tern before and if I remem­ber cor­rect­ly (which I vague­ly do) this is going to have some more upside pos­si­ble BO from HTF UKC
      • Bias
        • Long
      • Oppor­tu­ni­ty (if any)
        • What set­up am I going to stalk?
    • 18:05
      • HTF
        • What is the mar­ket narrative?
          • Same but since we haven’t real­ly test­ed sup­port it looks like more upside from here
      • TTF
        • TTF R AD in Over­bought posi­tion with pos­si­ble U TC at VWAP
        • Since I am not entire­ly sure about this par­tic­u­lar nar­ra­tive I am going to doc­u­ment the ses­sion and stay out of any trades unless 90% con­fir­ma­tion of move
      • Bias
        • Long
      • Oppor­tu­ni­ty (if any)
        • What set­up am I going to stalk?
          • Stay­ing out for the moment
    • 18:35
      • HTF
        • What is the mar­ket narrative?
          • Move to HTF UKC pos­si­ble BO
      • TTF
        • TTF U TC @ VWAP with steep move up, exhaustion?
      • Bias
        • Long if there is con­tin­u­a­tion oth­er­wise a pos­si­ble HTF R UKCCAR and bias to short in that case
      • Oppor­tu­ni­ty (if any)
        • What set­up am I going to stalk?
          • Need more con­fir­ma­tion but pos­si­ble HTF R UKCCAR if we break down from 1.0 SD, but will have to wait for the back­side and not trade the front
    • 19:05
      • HTF
        • What is the mar­ket narrative?
          • HTF Squeeze BO pos­si­bly set­ting up for a PB
      • TTF
        • Dying off of momen­tum just below HTF200MA could be just a PB but we’ll see.
      • Bias
        • Long
      • Oppor­tu­ni­ty (if any)
        • What set­up am I going to stalk?
          • Pos­si­ble TTF U TC @ VWAP
    • 19:35
      • HTF
        • What is the mar­ket narrative?
          • We have the PB to HTF UKC how­ev­er TTF is show­ing a breach of VWAP and there­fore I lost con­fi­dence in more upside from here on. 
      • TTF
        • Brach VWAP gonna wait for either a BD from VWAP + PB to go short for long I am uncer­tain at this point
      • Bias
        • Not too con­vinc­ing­ly clear but slight­ly short
      • Oppor­tu­ni­ty (if any)
        • What set­up am I going to stalk?
        • HTF UKC BO +PB or HTF R Overbought
