Play: Auction Fade

These are trades I could have taken but for some reason I did not. This could be due to me not paying attention or simply not feeling like trading. This is usually the case when I am not in the right state of mind due to lack of sleep, personal issues, etc.
Reason for missing the trade (explain the narrative)
Price opened within value (there was a 3‑day bracketing range although sloping higher) and then proceeded to test a value rejection up. Halted at D1 C‑sup before closing inside IB leaving a selling tail. If there was a retest of M5 supply at IB high there could have been an opportunity for me to jump on but sadly this didn’t come. Price then extended to the other side in D closing below forming a Neutral Day. E made LLs closing as a Hammer and F closing as a Dragonfly Doji. With A neutral Day it is not likely for a continuation to one side. The expectancy favors a return to IB.
