• 08:00-16:00 (if-then): Above 30,628.25 after data favors continuation; rejection and loss of 30,074.00 favors rotation toward 29,987.75.
• 20:00-23:00 (if-then): Close above 30,561.25 favors continuation; below 30,074.00 favors mean reversion.
• Invalidation: Sustained trade below 29,954.75.

ES - Plan

• Bias: Bullish, but stretched into the overnight high.
• Key levels: 7,591.50 / 7,590.50 / 7,500.25 / 7,497.50 / 7,484.75.
• 08:00-16:00 (if-then): Hold above 7,591.50 favors pullback buys over 7,500.25; loss of 7,497.50 targets 7,484.75.
• 20:00-23:00 (if-then): Above 7,591.50 is continuation; below 7,500.25 is mean reversion.
• Invalidation: Acceptance below 7,484.75.

CL - Plan

• Bias: Bearish below 81.69; rallies are suspect while under the overnight high.
• Key levels: 84.88 / 81.69 / 80.95 / 80.45 / 79.70.
• 08:00-16:00 (if-then): Failure at 80.95 targets 79.70; reclaim 81.69 opens short-covering toward 84.88.
• 20:00-23:00 (if-then): Settle below 80.95 favors continuation; above 81.69 flips to mean reversion.
• Invalidation: Sustained acceptance above 84.88.

• Bias: Bullish above 4,300.00 while DXY stays soft.
• Key levels: 4,366.10 / 4,361.20 / 4,325.60 / 4,300.00 / 4,238.80.
• 08:00-16:00 (if-then): Acceptance above 4,366.10 favors continuation; loss of 4,325.60 targets 4,300.00.
• 20:00-23:00 (if-then): Hold 4,361.20 favors continuation; below 4,325.60 turns to mean reversion.
• Invalidation: Sustained trade below 4,238.80.

Execution checklist

• Do not fade NQ/ES strength unless they lose prior close after the data block.
• Use wider confirmation for CL; the range is already damaged.
• For GC, require DXY confirmation before fading strength.
• If VIX reclaims 19 while indexes stall, reduce breakout size.
