🎯 Intraday Trading Strategy
- Short at 87,200-87,500 with a stop-loss at 88,000, targeting 86,000-85,000.
- Light long positions on pullbacks to 86,000-86,200 with a stop-loss at 85,500, targeting 87,000-87,200 for quick profits.
- Position sizing: total position ≤30%, individual trade ≤10%, with strict stop-loss.
⚠ Risk Warning
- Macro Sensitivity: Watch for Federal Reserve policies and geopolitical news that may trigger volatility.
- Breakout Response: If price breaks below 85,500, switch to short; if rebound stabilizes above 88,000, downside momentum weakens.
