continue to exhibit strong structural resilience as the market consolidates above the weekly VC PMI mean at $4,672. Current price action near $4,724 reflects a market that remains in bullish equilibrium despite short-term volatility and profit-taking after recent advances. The inability of sellers to force price below the weekly mean confirms that institutional demand continues to support the market on corrections.
The weekly VC PMI levels define the dominant framework for this cycle. Weekly Buy 1 support is located at $4,569, while Weekly Buy 2 support stands at $4,407. Resistance levels are identified at Weekly Sell 1 at $4,834 and Weekly Sell 2 at $4,937. These levels represent statistically significant areas where mean reversion and momentum expansion are expected to occur.
On the daily structure, the market is rotating around the Daily Mean at $4,711 while holding above Daily Buy 1 support at $4,681. This is a constructive sign that momentum remains positive. The recent rally toward Daily Sell 1 resistance at $4,770 demonstrated continued buying pressure, although the market paused before extending toward Daily Sell 2 at $4,810.
The VC PMI model suggests that a close above $4,770 activates upside momentum toward $4,810 and potentially the weekly Sell 1 target at $4,834. A decisive close above $4,834 would indicate a fractal expansion, where resistance converts into new support and the market enters another hyperbolic phase of price discovery.
Cycle analysis and Square of 9 geometry continue to support a bullish intermediate-term outlook into the May 10–13 cycle window, with additional expansion potential projected into mid-May. The market appears to be transitioning from accumulation into a momentum-driven phase characterized by expanding volatility and aggressive dip buying.
The MACD structure remains positive and stable, supporting the broader bullish interpretation. Momentum studies indicate that although short-term consolidations are likely, the dominant trend remains upward as long as the market sustains trade above the weekly VC PMI mean.
From a strategic perspective, the current environment favors a “buy corrections only” approach. Traders may consider scaling into support zones near $4,681 and $4,632 while using disciplined money management and maximum dollar stops. Profit-taking zones remain concentrated between $4,810 and $4,937.
