Consolidation -- Looks Bullish

Market: 
Yet another Monday snoozer.  Inside range, clear grinder higher "check mark" structure today with two clean entries.  1) Morning weak look down out of balance and 8:00 reversal.  2) Mid-session basing action above VWAP resolved higher exactly at 11:00 (as per usual).  TICK  MA was basing above zero during the base and that was the money tell once again. Exit minor high of previous session.

Odds: 
Consolation like today, inside range, shifts odds for higher prices tomorrow.  That said, we are at a potential reversal zone.  Buyer Bots a tough crowd to fight, however.

Incremental Learning:  



Incremental learning practices are something that we quite frequently forget to do around here, but at least we are persistent enough to keep getting back upon the horse.  And we are mounted up. Let's ride!

We did a lot of process analysis over the weekend and have come away with a rather robust list of brief therapy goals we are fully conscious of and working on. Our patterns are very clear now through the years.  Yet it is very easy to focus only on problem behaviors.  Brett always hammers home how important it is to "know your strengths and build robust processes for becoming more of who you already are".

But folks, this is not easy!  

Our natural inclinations are to problem focus.

And our current list of problems is way bigger than our strengths -- so far.  We know that there are more strengths in there that we don't give ourselves credit for. Ironically, we could make it a problem to not see strengths better.  When someone is good at something, it's really easy to not notice it, because it feels so natural.

And of course, problems are glaring.

What we are grappling with now is how to fix a clear problem behavior while attempting to view it through the lens of a strength lurking in there somewhere.

Maybe we are crazy to even try.   But will keep this pushing to figure it out.
