• What is your High Time Frame BIAS. Are you anticipating price
to go higher or lower. What are the current seasonal tendencies.
Submit to the market being LIKELY to follow its HTF bias/trend/momentum.

Market Structure Shift. INSTEAD, we see it as Smart Money
accumulating short positions, pairing with buystops.
SELLSIDE

stay heavy and run in our bias
to the downside
BREAKAWAY GAPS are likely
to stay unfilled until lower
price objectives have been met
