Scenarios for the week
Upside: a daily close above last week’s high at $86,694 would put the 30-day high at $87,399 in focus.
Downside: losing last week’s low at $80,400 would expose 30-day support around $74,956.
With a daily ATR of about $1,925, a stop placed one ATR away from entry is roughly 2.3% — use the position size calculator to size trades around that distance.
