Market outlook

Price is trading between the 0.5 Arc and the 0.618 Arc, indicating that the market is progressing through the current Arc Cycle toward the next Arc boundary. If momentum continues, the preferred scenario is continued movement toward the Target Arc at 6,420 (0.618 Arc).

Conversely, a sustained 2h close back below 5,600 (0.5 Arc) would invalidate the continuation scenario and could shift the outlook toward the Previous Arc Cycle.
