STRK reached the target, then gave back most of the extension. The setup worked; the follow-through did not hold.
This afternoon’s hypothetical scenario required $STRK to sustain 15-minute closes above $0.05430, with $0.05668 as first resistance and $0.05260 as invalidation. Price confirmed, climbed to $0.05962 and never touched the invalidation. By 22:57 Beirut, however, it had retraced to roughly $0.05457—back near the original trigger.
That distinction matters. A successful breakout call and a durable breakout are not the same thing. The next event is the weekly candle close at 03:00 Beirut. Holding $0.05430 would preserve the reclaim; closing below it would leave the late spike vulnerable to a deeper retest. The original $0.05260 invalidation still defines failure.
Lesson from the day: judge a setup by its stated trigger and invalidation, then judge momentum separately by what price keeps.
