Entry-confirmation score is intentionally reserved for backtesting/trade review, not watchlist inclusion.
Latest OHLCV bar seen: 2026-08-24 03:55 PM EDT (5M regular-session source)
Latest price uses the newest downloaded bar for proximity; the Alpaca feed is 15-min delayed, so it trails the live tape by ~15-20 min. Zones are built from regular-session candles only. Candidates are excluded entirely while current price is inside any active zone because that state is unresolved consolidation/chop. Stale quote overrides are ignored when downloaded bars are newer.

Distance to zone

How far price is from the zone, in percent, dollars, and multiples of daily ATR. The ATR multiple is the most useful -- under ~0.3x the zone is right here; a large multiple means price has to travel a lot of a typical day just to arrive.

Daily RSI (14)

Earnings / IV crush
2026-11-09 (76d) — clear
Both your day expiry (2026-08-28) and swing expiry (2026-09-11) land before the 2026-11-09 report, so neither pays the earnings IV premium.

breaking above supply • gap between zones
Is volume confirming the move? "volume expansion with direction" backtested best (+0.16 avg R); "absorption possible" was negative (-0.04) -- the move is being faded. This is the part of movement context that actually carries an edge.

Calls confirmation checklist
  • □ 5M close above supply
  • □ hold/retest above zone
  • □ volume expands on break or continuation
  • □ above 9EMA/VWAP
  • □ higher-high or higher-low structure
📈 Break Above Supply Zone @ $69.96 (Bullish): If price breaks above the 4H supply zone identified at $69.38–$69.96 and holds above the open, VWAP, and 9EMA, I'll watch for higher highs and strong bullish structure. If volume confirms the breakout, I'll consider entering a call position. My target will be the 1D supply zone identified at $72.57, holding the trade as long as price continues to respect the 9EMA as support.
Daily trend: RKLB is in a range-bound/mixed daily trend (Mixed / Transition), trading below its 20-day average and below its 50-day average.
Weekly trend (HTF): RKLB weekly trend is bearish (price below its 10-wk avg and below its 30-wk avg, weekly RSI 45.5).
Market / rel. strength: Market regime: SPY mixed, QQQ bearish • lagging QQQ by -1.5% over 20d (RKLB +2.0% vs QQQ +3.5%)
Trade shape: Swing-shaped: target 3 is 1.68x daily ATR away with elevated volume support -- more likely to need multiple days than one. Trade geometry: $0.14 approach to the trigger, $0.58 zone thickness (the stop), $2.61 runway to the next zone -- 4.5:1 at the trigger, 0.51x daily ATR total. Textbook day-trade geometry: short approach, day-sized move, and runway well past the stop (backtest: +0.30 avg R vs +0.05 for everything else). Prior momentum: steady and aligned with the trade direction -- the backtest's best continuation profile (+0.55 avg R when paired with textbook geometry).

  • □ supply test
  • □ rejection candle
  • □ lose/hold below 9EMA and VWAP
  • □ bearish continuation/DBD
  • □ downside volume response
  • □ market context weakening
📉 Supply Zone Rejection @ $712.09 (Bearish): If price tests & holds below the 4H supply zone at $712.09–$714.94 and rejects it while staying below the 9EMA, VWAP, and the open price, I'll monitor for lower lows forming on the 5-minute chart. If volume supports the downside move, that confirms bearish pressure. With all confirmations in place, I'll look to enter a put position targeting the demand zone below at $700.38, holding the trade as long as price stays below the 9EMA.
Daily trend: QQQ is in a bullish daily trend (Bullish HH/HL), trading above its 20-day average and below its 50-day average.
Weekly trend (HTF): QQQ weekly trend is bullish (price above its 10-wk avg and above its 30-wk avg, weekly RSI 55.7).
Market / rel. strength: Market regime: SPY mixed, QQQ bearish • leading QQQ by +0.0% over 20d (QQQ +3.5% vs QQQ +3.5%)
Trade shape: Swing-shaped: target 2 is 1.84x daily ATR away with elevated volume support -- more likely to need multiple days than one. Reversal geometry: $0.16 to reach the zone, $2.85 zone thickness (the base you're standing on; stop beyond its far side), $11.71 runway to the target -- 4.1:1. Expected move: a sharp rejection off the zone running the full $11.71 to $700.38 -- a long 4.1:1. Bigger reward, but this 1:3 avenue was ~breakeven in backtest, so it needs the bounce to really extend, not just tag the zone.

📉 Supply Zone Rejection @ $65.02 (Bearish): If price tests & holds below the 4H supply zone at $65.02–$67.12 and rejects it while staying below the 9EMA, VWAP, and the open price, I'll monitor for lower lows forming on the 5-minute chart. If volume supports the downside move, that confirms bearish pressure. With all confirmations in place, I'll look to enter a put position targeting the demand zone below at $60.65, holding the trade as long as price stays below the 9EMA.
Daily trend: ASTS is in a range-bound/mixed daily trend (Mixed / Transition), trading below its 20-day average and below its 50-day average.
Weekly trend (HTF): ASTS weekly trend is bearish (price below its 10-wk avg and below its 30-wk avg, weekly RSI 44.6).
Market / rel. strength: Market regime: SPY mixed, QQQ bearish • leading QQQ by +3.4% over 20d (ASTS +7.0% vs QQQ +3.5%)
Trade shape: Swing-shaped: target 2 is 3.08x daily ATR away with elevated volume support -- more likely to need multiple days than one. Reversal geometry: $1.48 to reach the zone, $2.10 zone thickness (the base you're standing on; stop beyond its far side), $4.37 runway to the target -- 2.1:1. Expected move: hold this thick base and a controlled bounce to $60.65 nearby -- the validated reversal profile (backtest +0.18 avg R, ~47% win: grinding approach into a thick zone).

📈 Demand Zone Test $484.13 (Bullish): I'll be observing for a test & bounce at the 1D demand zone identified at $477.15–$484.13. If we HOLD ABOVE this demand zone, the open price, 9EMA, and we see a bullish candlestick pattern, this would be a good opportunity to go long, anticipating a move upwards towards the 2H supply zone identified at $488.58, holding above the 9EMA.

📉 Supply Zone Rejection @ $729.85 (Bearish): If price tests & holds below the 1D supply zone at $729.85–$734.58 and rejects it while staying below the 9EMA, VWAP, and the open price, I'll monitor for lower lows forming on the 5-minute chart. If volume supports the downside move, that confirms bearish pressure. With all confirmations in place, I'll look to enter a put position targeting the demand zone below at $700.38, holding the trade as long as price stays below the 9EMA.
Daily trend: QQQ is in a bullish daily trend (Bullish HH/HL), trading above its 20-day average and below its 50-day average.
Weekly trend (HTF): QQQ weekly trend is bullish (price above its 10-wk avg and above its 30-wk avg, weekly RSI 55.7).
Market / rel. strength: Market regime: SPY mixed, QQQ bearish • leading QQQ by +0.0% over 20d (QQQ +3.5% vs QQQ +3.5%)
Trade shape: Swing-shaped: target 2 is 1.84x daily ATR away with elevated volume support -- more likely to need multiple days than one. Reversal geometry: $17.92 to reach the zone, $4.73 zone thickness (the base you're standing on; stop beyond its far side), $29.47 runway to the target -- 6.2:1. Expected move: a sharp rejection off the zone running the full $29.47 to $700.38 -- a long 6.2:1. Bigger reward, but this 1:3 avenue was ~breakeven in backtest, so it needs the bounce to really extend, not just tag the zone.

📈 Demand Zone Test $294.38 (Bullish): I'll be observing for a test & bounce at the 1D demand zone identified at $289.19–$294.38. If we HOLD ABOVE this demand zone, the open price, 9EMA, and we see a bullish candlestick pattern, this would be a good opportunity to go long, anticipating a move upwards towards the 4H supply zone identified at $311.53, holding above the 9EMA.
Daily trend: AAPL is in a bullish daily trend (Bullish HH/HL), trading below its 20-day average and below its 50-day average.
Weekly trend (HTF): AAPL weekly trend is bearish-leaning (price below its 10-wk avg and above its 30-wk avg, weekly RSI 56.9).
Market / rel. strength: Market regime: SPY mixed, QQQ bearish • lagging QQQ by -11.4% over 20d (AAPL -7.9% vs QQQ +3.5%)
Trade shape: Swing-shaped: target 3 is 5.0x daily ATR away with elevated volume support -- more likely to need multiple days than one. Reversal geometry: $15.41 to reach the zone, $5.19 zone thickness (the base you're standing on; stop beyond its far side), $17.15 runway to the target -- 3.3:1. Expected move: a sharp rejection off the zone running the full $17.15 to $311.53 -- a long 3.3:1. Bigger reward, but this 1:3 avenue was ~breakeven in backtest, so it needs the bounce to really extend, not just tag the zone.

📉 Supply Zone Rejection @ $91.86 (Bearish): If price tests & holds below the 1D supply zone at $91.86–$92.68 and rejects it while staying below the 9EMA, VWAP, and the open price, I'll monitor for lower lows forming on the 5-minute chart. If volume supports the downside move, that confirms bearish pressure. With all confirmations in place, I'll look to enter a put position targeting the demand zone below at $82.81, holding the trade as long as price stays below the 9EMA.
