Price had already rejected this area multiple times, indicating strong buyer interest. The overall market structure remained bullish, with higher highs and higher lows intact. Volume analysis also showed declining selling pressure during pullbacks, which usually signals healthy consolidation rather than trend reversal. 📌 Entry Logic On the 15M timeframe, price pulled back into the support zone and formed a bullish confirmation candle after a short consolidation. This confirmed that buyers were defending the level. I entered the trade only after confirmation — no chasing, no guessing.

Stop Loss: Placed slightly below the support zone Risk per Trade: Fixed and predefined No Over-Leverage: Capital preservation always comes first This setup ensured a favorable risk-to-reward ratio, meaning even if the trade failed, the loss would be controlled. 🎯 Exit Strategy & PnL Review My take-profit targets were set near a previous resistance area where price had earlier faced rejection.
