Market Context: Waiting for a Catalyst?
The market currently grinds slightly upward, but the tight daily range indicates indecision. With no major earnings this week and reduced geopolitical tension, traders appear to be in wait-and-see mode around the all-time high region.
This explains the closer-than-usual partial profit targets—they reflect tightening volatility and a market potentially preparing for a decisive breakout or rejection. Our map adapts accordingly.
