How should a trader interpret this level in future sessions?
- It is an 'unfinished business' level that the market has a $70--80% probability of revisiting to complete the auction.
- It is a retail stop-run level that should be ignored, since it carries no real institutional significance.
- It represents a hard 'cap' where an institutional seller fully blocked the market's advance, making it a lasting resistance level.
- It is a 'single-print' exhaustion level that is statistically unlikely to be touched again for at least three full trading sessions.
