⚡️ Price Action & Trade Setup

• After the 50% cue, momentum accelerated on the peak break; price tapped 100% and hovered near 1.618.

• Plan: Favor pullback-to-hold at 1.382 (~3926.40) / 1.618 (~3944.67) for continuation; partials into 1.618, runners toward 2.0 (~3974.24).

• If rejected at the M15 double top, look for a controlled pullback toward 1.382 or the 0.5/midline.

🧠 Market Sentiment

• Momentum and breadth favor continuation after a well-formed base (diamond).

• Participation improving on impulsive legs; consolidation pauses have been shallow.

📊 Next Potential Movements
