👵 Grandma’s Bias (Based on Data, Not Feelings)
See price action first: “When the market closes on the magnet, don’t swing like a cowboy — scalp like a surgeon.”
Why:
- Strong open interest at 6,875–6,885 caps upside momentum — every push higher meets quick selling.
- Support remains firm near 6,870–6,865, so expect dip-buy attempts unless volume breaks structure.
- The market is coiled — not trending. Trade edges, fade the middle, and let volume lead.
🎯 Intraday Scenarios
| Setup | Bias | Trigger | Target | Notes |
| 1. Rejection Fade | Bearish | Price tags 6,880–6,885 then stalls | 6,870 → 6,865 | Short quick, scalp $2 premium, tight stop above 6,890 |
| 2. Pin Bounce | Bullish | Dip toward 6,872–6,870 and stabilizes | 6,880–6,885 | Use 1-min reversal confirmation |
| 3. Breakdown Sweep | Bearish | Lose 6,870 on volume | 6,865 → 6,855 | Continuation only if sellers hold under 6,870 |
| 4. Range Rotation | Neutral | Price trapped 6,872–6,880 | Fade edges, avoid mid-range | Use quick exits on fakeouts |
