🦁 WATERING HOLE – IWM GAME PLAN

Friday • June 26, 2026

“The market opens. The animals move first. The hunters wait.”

Today is Friday. Friday likes to finish what Monday started. The weekly candle is still strong, but premarket is sitting under yesterday’s close (298.91) and below the 299.18 battlefield. That tells me the animals are nervous. The hunters wait for confirmation.

⸻

🗺️ THE MAP

🟢 Major Resistance

* 299.18 (Battlefield)* 300.00 (Psychological)* 301.47–301.50 (Weekly High / Liquidity)

🔴 Support

* 296.32 (Key Watering Hole)* 295.50* 294.16* 290.37 (Major liquidity)

⸻

🌵 THE DESERT

Between 297.00–299.18 is the desert.

This is where buyers and sellers will fight.

No chasing.

Let them show their hand.

⸻

💧 THE WATERING HOLE

Today’s water sits around 296.32.

If price flushes below it and immediately reclaims it…

🩸 Fake Blood.

If price breaks it, retests it, and can’t get back above…

🦈 Real Blood.

⸻

🟢 THE HUNTERS (CALLS)

Only after your 9:45 framework confirms.

Entry

* 15-minute candle marks the battlefield.* 5-minute closes above the 15-minute high.* 1-minute retest holds.

Contracts

* 297 Call — Aggressive* 298 Call — Balanced* 299 Call — Momentum* 300 Call — Only if price is already holding above 299.18 with strong volume.

Targets

🎯 299.18

🎯 300.00

🎯 301.47–301.50

⸻

🔴 THE PREDATORS (PUTS)

Only if the market proves buyers are trapped.

Entry

🎯 290.37 (if the real blood starts flowing)

⸻

🩸 BLOOD IN THE WATER

Fake Blood ✅

* Quick flush below support.* Buyers immediately reclaim.* Volume dries up on the selloff.* That’s the liquidity sweep.* Hunters look for calls after confirmation.

Real Blood ❌

* Support breaks.* Retest fails.* Sellers stay in control.* That’s when the predators eat.

⸻

🎯 HUNTER’S RULES

* Mark the battlefield.* Let the animals move first.* Wait for confirmation.* Hunt the retest.* Take the meat.* Leave the bones.

⸻

🦁 The hunt continues inside the Watering Hole.
