1/15 recap - Tears are real and we cannot have all winning daysMicro E-mini Nasdaq-100 Index FuturesCME_MINI:MNQ1!TradeswithBPremarket POI map Key levels I marked: NY AM High: 25,954.25 PDH: 25,878.75 NY AM Low: 25,803.50 POIs above: 25,871.25 / 25,920.50 / 26,006.00 / 26,083.50 / 26,106.25 Lower POIs: 25,690.00 / 25,670.25 / 25,622.50 / 25,596.25 / 25,579.50 (and lower) Gameplan (simple): Bull case: reclaim/hold PDH + POI1 → push to POI2/POI3. Bear/flush case: lose AM Low → next POIs below. What price actually did (chart story) Early session: Price was strong (green trend/structure), then sold off from the upper POI zone, showing “decision candle” rejection near your POI2 area. Mid-morning: The drop drove into the NY AM Low (25,803.50) zone (I highlighted this). That level acted like the decision point. Reversal confirmation: You caught the key idea—hold AM Low → reclaim back into PDH/POI1 area. Your later screenshots show LONG valid entry printing around the POI1 / PDH reclaim area and then continuation. Clean takeaway: Today’s “A+” idea was the AM Low hold + reclaim (your circled 25,803.50).
