5. Major Support 2: 4142–4150 (1H/4H structure shifting demand zone)

Scenario A: Bullish Continuation (Buy Plan)

Use this setup if the price sustains holding action above 4181 and shows a clear 15-minute structural breakout above the morning highs.

1. Trigger: Confirmed H1/M15 candle close above 4185.

Use this setup if the price fails to breach the 4195–4200 ceiling or aggressively breaks down past immediate support.

1. Trigger 1 (Aggressive): Rejection candlestick pattern (pin bar/engulfing) directly inside the 4190–4200 zone.
2. Trigger 2 (Conservative): Clean breakdown and M15 candle close below 4166.
3. Take Profit 1 (TP1): 4152
4. Take Profit 2 (TP2): 4142
5. Stop Loss (SL): 4203 (If selling the rejection) or 4176 (If trading the 4166 breakdown).

1. Major Overhead Resistance: 4180 – 4195 (Post-NFP rally peaks)
2. Immediate Pivot Area: 4166 – 4169 (1-Hour structural counter-trend flip)
3. Present Market Price: 4155
4. Dynamic Support Base: 4150 – 4152 (21-Day SMA floor and psychological level)
5. Deep Breakdown Target: 4107 – 4112 (Major weekly support zone)

Scenario A: The Dynamic Support Bounce (Value Long)

If buyers defend the psychological 4150 handle and the 21-day SMA line, the broader recovery structure remains intact for a push back upward.

1. Trigger: A clear 15-minute bullish engulfing candle or a long lower-wick rejection structure inside the 4150–4155 zone.
2. Execution: Enter LONG once the rejection candle closes.
3. Stop Loss (SL): 4145 (placed safely below structural invalidation).

1. Take Profit Targets (TP):
   1. TP1: 4169 (Immediate pivot flip point)
   2. TP2: 4180 (High-level consolidation resistance)
   3. TP3: 4195 (Retest of the major NFP structural ceiling)

Scenario B: The Support Breakdown (Trend Reversal Short)

If the market prints a decisive hourly close below 4150, the post-NFP momentum is completely dead, shifting the bias to the broader medium-term downtrend.

1. Trigger: A clean 15-minute or 1-hour candle close below 4150.
2. Execution: Enter SHORT on a minor pullback to test 4152–4154 as flipped resistance.
3. Stop Loss (SL): 4162 (protecting above the immediate intraday swing high).
4. Take Profit Targets (TP):
   1. TP1: 4136 (Intraday liquidity pool)
   2. TP2: 4112 (Major structural support objective)
   3. TP3: 4107 (Macro key level target)

Scenario C: The Data-Driven Breakout (PMI Momentum)
If price remains choppy right around 4155 during the morning session, wait for the U.S. ISM Services PMI release later today to force a clean direction.

1. Trigger: A rapid, high-volume impulse candle breaking and sustaining above 4169.
2. Execution: Enter a momentum LONG to ride the expansion back to the weekly range high.
3. Stop Loss (SL): 4157 (tight intraday protection).
4. Take Profit Targets (TP): 4180 → 4195.
