NASDAQ: wait for the first move to trap

The pre-session idea was a NASDAQ rollover if price followed through lower. TC waited for the first move to trap, then acted as the continuation trap lost a critical level around 11:00.

Follow the decision.

01 / CONTEXT

The rollover was conditional. A bullish DXY and lower follow-through supported looking for a short, but neither supplied the entry by itself.

02 / DECISION

After the first move trapped, the continuation lost the level. The Open Box extension was the planned target.

03 / REVIEW

The value of this case is the delay between thesis and execution: the market had to demonstrate the failure first. The displayed chart was captured after the decision.
