Market Overview
are trading at $3,384.8, staging a sharp rebound of +$26.10 (+0.78%) after bottoming at $3,353.4, a level perfectly aligned with the VC PMI Weekly Buy-1 ($3,350) and Daily Buy-2 ($3,337) cluster.
The recovery now presses into Daily Sell-1 ($3,380) and Sell-2 ($3,401), with the Weekly Mean ($3,408) looming overhead. Momentum indicators, especially MACD, show a reversal from deeply oversold, confirming the validity of this mean reversion move.

- Daily Sell 2: $3,401
- Weekly Buy 1: $3,350
- Weekly Mean: $3,408
Interpretation: The confluence of Daily and Weekly Buy levels created a high-probability reversal zone, already validated by the rebound. The current challenge is $3,389–$3,401, where equilibrium and resistance converge.

- Expect distribution into Sep 8, then decline into Sep 23–28 cycle low.
Extension (≈30%) – “Overthrow squeeze”

Traders should ride the rally tactically long, then prepare to reload from lower levels in late September for what could be the next major uptrend phase.
