๐Ÿ“‰ CL1! Short Setup โ€“ Fading Into Volume Shelf

๐Ÿ”น Context:
Price just tapped into a heavy upper volume shelf (68.35โ€“68.50) โ€” the exact area where the prior breakdown started. This zone aligns with rejection highs and the upper edge of the VRVP profile.

๐Ÿ“Œ Setup Logic:
๐Ÿ”บ Entry: 68.36โ€“68.50 (into supply zone)
โ›” Stop: 68.75 (above liquidity peak)
๐ŸŽฏ Target: 66.78 (prior demand + volume node)
๐Ÿ“ RRR: ~4.0:1
โš ๏ธ Trigger: [I]Do not enter early[/I] โ€” wait for rollover of price which it looks like we are getting now.

๐Ÿ“Š Why It Matters:
๐Ÿ“ˆ VRVP shows clear upper and lower volume shelves
๐Ÿ“› Price has overextended into a prior rejection zone
๐Ÿ” Potential for a mean-reversion leg [I]once we confirm momentum breakdown[/I]

๐Ÿ“ท [I]See attached chart for full zone layout[/I]

๐Ÿ’ก Trade Update: Closing Out CL1! Short

Closing this position before CME closes for the weekendโ€”too much upside risk heading into illiquid hours.

๐Ÿ›‘ Sometimes preservation beats precision.
โœ”๏ธ Solid shelf-to-shelf thesis, but momentum didnโ€™t fully fade on lower timeframes.

We'll regroup next week with fresh structure and updated entries.
