Sz has this habit of mapping out these mental moves well ahead of time - this isn’t the first time. Brilliant to see tbh.

If the coming several quarters unfold as he’s outlined, we could be in for an exceptional market to trade, both to the upside and down.

ETH and Totals 2 & 3 coming into significant levels Sustain a bid above at some point later in Q3/Q4 (give or take a correction prior) ... And our beloved shitters might just catch a bid

Auction Context – Market Profile as Your Map Before you think about placing a trade, you want to know where in the auction cycle the market is. Market Profile gives you the structure that most traders don’t see when they’re staring at candlesticks. 5 Core Concepts to Track: 1. Value Area High (VAH) / Value Area Low (VAL) Defines the 70% of the session’s volume where most business was done. Outside of value = “expensive” or “cheap” to the market participants. 2. Point of Control (POC) Price with the most activity = a magnet in balance conditions. 3. Main Day Type Recognition (there are others) 3.1 Balanced -> Mean reversion more likely. 3.2Trend Day -> Initiative activity dominates which means profile elongates in one direction. 3.3 Double Distribution → Two distinct value zones; mid-point acts as a pivot. 4. Structural References Single prints, low-volume nodes (LVNs) and (HVNs), poor highs/lows, unfinished auctions, each can act as magnets or barriers. 5. Why this matters: Knowing the auction context lets you pre-define where business is likely to occur and where rejections are probable = which stops you from chasing every micro move. NOW ONTO GAME PLAN: Auction context feeds into your game plan. You’re answering the following: “Am I a buyer, seller, or observer today?” “Where is my line in the sand?” Premarket Prep Routine: - Mark prior session VAH, VAL, POC. - Mark overnight high/low and see how they relate to prior value. - Note anomalies (e.g., single prints) that could be filled. Decide if you’re looking for: Initiative trades (price driving away from value) ? Responsive trades (price returning to value) ? Bias Examples: Open above VAH + holding → Look for longs if order flow supports continuation. Open inside prior value → Fade moves to VAH or VAL unless initiative order flow breaks out. Mindset: You should be able to write your bias in one sentence before the open. If you can’t, you’re not ready to trade. Anyway just my 1 cent whilst Im watching a trade develop - cheers

Ok.... warming up

3930s and 117.5s traded Been a fab week and start to August Cheers

$es $nq If this continues then would expect btc and eth to follow Yesterday both es and nq pushed above mondays high before seeing continuation higher - leading btc and eth (which eventually cracked higher today) Key to observe here

Current development If there is a pullback before higher then 37 singles gets traded and ideally would want to see the m/o hold. Else its back inside the previou comp - range and likely to see responsive PA again (not quite the case yet)

$ETH Mondays poc indeed was key, where I closed my short and started seeking out longs from around 3560s, paying off so far. Bunch of poor highs at 3860s and 3930s, confluent with Bitcoin trading low to mid 17s as the next objective. Both have now flipped back above their respective monthly opens - which acts as a key inflection point moving forward along with watching price action across es and nq. Cheers
