Overnight repair complete — now testing the supply wall

The FOMC flush was fully repaired overnight: spike base reclaimed, prior single prints filled, and price rebuilt value at yesterday's value-low. The day is not a chase-long setup yet; it is a repair into supply setup, with 7,578-7,582 as the gate.

↻ Overnight changed the problem

Last night was about whether the market could repair the FOMC damage. It did. Price reclaimed the 7,497 spike base, filled the 7,505/7,513 RTH single prints, and built fresh overnight value from 7,539.75 to 7,563.50. The new problem is overhead supply: yPOC 7,582 and yVAH/yHigh 7,600.75-7,605.75 are directly above the open.

Bull structure is repaired, but trade location is into supply. Base case is buy 7,540-7,548, pay yourself into 7,565 / 7,578 / 7,582, and fade the first yPOC tag unless the tape proves acceptance with two 30m closes above 7,582.
