(/SI) are currently trading at $78.89, positioning the market just below the Daily VC PMI mean (~$79.65). This is a critical inflection point. In the VC PMI framework, trading below the mean signals bearish price momentum, while a recovery back above it would reestablish bullish control. The market is now transitioning out of a failed breakout attempt near the Daily Sell 2 at $82.24, where price reached a high of $83.24, completing a classic mean reversion cycle from extreme to equilibrium.
From a structural perspective, the rejection from the Sell 2 level (95% probability zone) confirms that the market has entered a corrective phase. The failure to hold above Sell 1 ($81.14) triggered profit-taking and liquidation, driving price back toward value. This aligns with VC PMI logic: once extreme levels are rejected, the highest probability path is a reversion back to the mean, followed by a test of lower support zones.
The immediate downside targets are now defined by the Daily Buy 1 at $78.55 and Daily Buy 2 at $77.06. These represent high-probability accumulation zones (90%–95%), where institutional demand typically re-enters the market. A test of Buy 1 is already underway, and a break below it opens the path toward Buy 2. If the market stabilizes within this range, it would signal completion of the corrective cycle and the potential for a new bullish phase.
From a cycle date perspective, the recent high aligns with a projected time window of exhaustion, and the current decline is unfolding into the next cycle window, expected to complete within the next 48–72 hours. This timing suggests that the market is approaching a decision point, where either support holds and triggers a reversal, or momentum accelerates lower into a deeper retracement phase.
Integrating the Square of 9 geometry, the rejection near $83.24 aligns with a key resistance vector, while the downside targets of $78.50–$77.00 correspond with harmonic support levels on the Square of 9 grid. A break below $77.00 would shift the structure into a lower fractal, opening the path toward the $75.50 region, which is also identified on the chart as a deeper support node.
Conclusion
The market is in a corrective phase within a broader bullish structure. The key is how price behaves at Buy 1 and Buy 2. Holding this zone will confirm accumulation and set up the next expansion leg. Failure to hold shifts the structure lower. This is a high-probability decision zone, where discipline and mechanical execution are critical.
