Trend Context:

TP2: $2,645 (VWAP Upper Band).

If price hits $2,645 and sharply reverses with a Shooting Star or RSI divergence.
If price touches $2,628 and bounces with Pin Bar and MACD bullish crossover.

Flip positions when reversals are confirmed.
Follow breakout or mean reversion rules for SL and TP.
Step 3: What-If Scenarios
What If the Price Moves Up?

Breaks $2,645:
Action: Go long at $2,648 with TP1: $2,655, TP2: $2,660, TP3: $2,670.
Scaling In: Add 0.3 lots at $2,650 if volume increases.
TSL: Trail by 5 points after TP1 is hit.
Hits $2,645 and Reverses:
Action: Enter short at $2,645 with TP1: $2,637, TP2: $2,628.
Scaling Out: Exit 0.5 lots at TP1, 0.3 lots at TP2, hold 0.2 lots for TP3.
What If the Price Moves Down?

Breaks $2,628:
Action: Go short at $2,625 with TP1: $2,620, TP2: $2,612, TP3: $2,600.
Scaling In: Add 0.3 lots at $2,620 if momentum builds.
Hits $2,628 and Bounces:
Action: Enter long at $2,628 with TP1: $2,637, TP2: $2,645.
Scaling Out: Exit 0.5 lots at TP1, 0.3 lots at TP2, hold 0.2 lots for TP3.
What If Price Stalls?

At VWAP or POC ($2,637):
Tighten SL to break even if price stalls for more than 3 candles.
Watch for volume increase or decrease to determine breakout or reversal.
What If Momentum Changes?

Momentum Increases:
Add positions aggressively when volume and ADX align with the trend.
Momentum Decreases:
Scale out partially to secure profits and tighten SL to protect against reversals.
Step 4: Scaling In/Out Rules
Scaling In:
Add 0.3 lots at major break levels (e.g., $2,648 for long, $2,625 for short).
Ensure volume confirms the breakout.
Scaling Out:
Exit 0.5 lots at TP1 to lock in quick profits.
Exit 0.3 lots at TP2 to secure mid-level gains.
Leave 0.2 lots for TP3 with a trailing stop to ride the trend.
Step 5: Volume Breakouts and RSI Divergences
Volume Breakouts:
Enter aggressively in the direction of the breakout.
Ensure TP1 is conservative to capture immediate moves.
RSI Divergences:
Look for bearish divergence at resistance ($2,645).
Look for bullish divergence at support ($2,628).
Use these as reversal signals to flip positions dynamically.
Step 6: Dynamic Actions at Key Levels
At $2,645:
Short if divergence or reversal occurs.
Long if breakout occurs with volume.
At $2,628:
Long if bounce confirmation appears.
Short if breakdown happens with momentum.
At $2,637 (POC):
Reassess trend direction if price consolidates.
This roadmap evolves dynamically, ensuring clear actions based on live price behavior, making it adaptable for any market scenario.
