Cautious Trading: The early week dip suggests a more cautious approach for Monday's trading. Err on the side of capital preservation by limiting aggressive trades.
Long Opportunities: Look for potential long entries at major support levels, particularly 5187, 5168-63, and 5126.
Counter-trend Cautions: (For experienced traders) Be aware of potential short opportunities at resistances like 5262 and 5241, but remember the overall bull trend remains in force.
Bull Case:
Trend Continuation: The overall bull market is still dominant. Defending 5187 (and ideally 5163) supports would signal that another leg up is likely, targeting 5262+.
Adding on Strength: Monitor reclaims of 5211 for potential long entries.
Bear Case:
Breakdown Signals: A decisive break below 5187, particularly a failed breakdown, could trigger a move down the levels. Watch for shorting opportunities on confirmed breakdowns.
