Box confirmations — Oct 22

Overnight box 7710–7730. Each panel is three 5-minute footprint bars, left to right. Red numbers are sellers hitting the bid, green are buyers lifting the offer. The thick-outlined bar is the one you act on, at its close.

🟢 A · Box breaks up

7730.25 box top 7710 box bottom +120−90+60 +410+380+260−140+90 close 7731 ▲ +150−80 CVD new high · VIX down buy 7730.50 on this close

The confirmation is the close above 7730.25 with green prints doing the work. A wick above that closes back inside is not A — it's the start of B.

🔴 B · Box top rejects

7730 box top +300+140−60 high 7729 −420+90−180−210 lower high 7727.50 −160+40−230 no new high sell the close of the outlined bar · stop 7733.25 kills it: a +300 answer under the red and bar 3 goes higher

Three things in one bar: the high is lower than the last one, a −300+ prints near it, and the bar closes off its high. Enter on that close.

🟢 C · Box bottom holds

7712 7709 ON low −180−260−310+40 +90−340+620 closes 7713 ▲ +480+150 buy the close of the outlined bar · stop 7705.25 undercut stays above 7706 · CVD stops falling kills it: the +620 gets sold through and bar 3 makes a new low

The answer (+620) is one tick below the red (−340) and bigger than it. The bar closes back above 7712. That close is the entry.

🔴 D · Box breaks down

7709 ON low 7695.50 naked VPOC +110−200 −330−470−390−280+30 close 7707 ▼ −250+70 CVD new low · VIX 18.6+ rising sell 7707.75 · stop 7714.75 · all off at 7676–85

Stacked reds, no green answer, and the close below 7709. A wick below that closes back above on green prints is C, not D.

Momentum (A, D): the confirmation is the close outside the box. Responsive (B, C): the confirmation is the reversal bar itself — print, answer, close back toward the box. One bar, not two.
