The A-period reversal at 6969 is a solid exmaple of why context matters more than just following price momentum. I've seen traders get wrecked chasing inventory corrections near gap fills because they mistake speed for strength. The VIX confirmation levels (14.84 and 13.56) add another layer but relying on them too strictly can delay entries when order flow is already screaming. One thing I've learned is that the passive seller absorption pattern only shows up clearly in retrospect sometimes, and live orderflow can look ambiguous until the reversal alreadyhappened. Getting comfortable with being slightly early beats being perfectly positioned but too late more often than not.
Thanks Smash! Love the visuals!
