-- SUMMARY --
Recovering market transitioning from corrective decline to early bullish structure
Price has reclaimed all major MAs and is testing the upper boundary of the recent range at 0.12486 with improving momentum
Confirms change, A decisive close above 0.12486 confirms continuation; a close below 0.12017 negates the bullish shift
The downside liquidity sweep at 0.11883 followed by higher lows and a momentum-confirmed BOS leans bullish, but tight MA compression and proximity to resistance warrant confirmation before conviction. Watch the 0.12328-0.12486 imbalance as a key support-on-pullback zone.
