The purpose of a premarket prep is to find setups within my weekly trade plan bias

- Hypo 1 — Value Acceptance (Short)
- H4-C‑S 1.92109, break down LTF demand, closing confidently within value, value wide enough for a good profit target, H4-C‑D 1.91561 BASE just below VAH enhancing a bearish sentiment if hit.
- Possibile unidirectional day if ADR gets exhausted (within value) and we have a sustained auction.
- Hypo 2 — Return to Value
- Failed value acceptance, price action confirming reversal
