Mainline Script (Higher probability): High-level range consolidation and washout
1. Trend outlook: In the short term, it will not directly break out forcefully above 1680, nor will it immediately plunge deeply downward. Instead, prioritize sideways consolidation and choppy trading.
2. Trading actions:
- Near the 1670~1680 resistance zone: apply slight downward pressure to create a “lack of momentum after rising” illusion, luring short-term longs to take profit early while encouraging shorts to enter ahead of time;
- Pullback to the 1645~1646 support band: provide moderate support (not letting the price break directly below the key moving averages). Avoid trend-bid (trend-following) positioning causing panic and exiting. Short-term focus is on range trading first.
Consolidation range: 1646 — 1680
✅ Hold above 1680, go long;
❌ Break below 1646 and fail to reclaim it on a sustained basis: weaken. Be alert for a test of the 1606 support.
