Action Zones

| Setup | Entry | Trigger | TP1 | TP2 | SL |
|-------|-------|---------|-----|-----|----||
| 🟒 Long | 0.66700-0.66800 | Bullish rejection from D1 demand | 0.67100 | 0.67500 | 0.66600 |
| 🟒 Long | 0.66900-0.67000 | Break above 0.67100 with volume | 0.67400 | 0.67750 | 0.66800 |

Momentum View

"Markup phase with robust bullish structure favors longs from 0.66700-0.66850 demand, highly likely to test 0.67500 supply. IF China data beats β†’ probable extension to 0.68000 psychological level. IF DXY reverses sharply above 99.50 β†’ possible pullback to 0.66700. Risk-reward strongly favors buying dips over chasing current levels."
