NQ — August 20, 2026
Completed-session review using a 1-minute chart in Central Time. The annotations describe visible historical price behavior around published Key Zones with hindsight.
What happened
Price drops from near the Primary Reaction Zone, the first clear lower response develops at Lower Zone 2, later trade repeatedly tests Lower Zone 1, and an afternoon revisit of Lower Zone 2 is followed by another rebound.
What to observe
- The early decline moves through Lower Zone 1 before the first clear reaction develops at Lower Zone 2.
- The rebound from Lower Zone 2 carries price back into higher published areas.
- Later swings repeatedly test Lower Zone 1 without producing a clean move back to the Primary Reaction Zone.
- A later decline revisits Lower Zone 2 and is followed by another rebound.
What this session illustrates
- A published zone does not guarantee an immediate response on first contact.
- Different zones can become relevant at different points in the same session.
- Repeated tests may provide different information from the first interaction.
- Historical review should describe what price actually did rather than force every zone interaction into a signal.
