FIL · 1H · SIDEWAYS
Price has been chopping in a broad range between approximately 0.700 and 0.820 since early July, with no sustained directional structure. The most recent move is notable — price sold off hard into the 0.700 zone around July 19-20, then snapped back aggressively to current levels near 0.755. That recovery off 0.700 is sharp but price is now sitting mid-range, and mid-range is where trades go to die. The macro headlines available don't offer anything directly relevant to FIL's price action, so I'm reading this purely off structure.
I'm not chasing this bounce. The recovery looks reactive rather than structural — no clean base built at 0.700, just a V-reversal off a low. Until price either reclaims 0.780 with conviction or fails and retests 0.720, I'm sitting on my hands. Both scenarios have merit from here, so I'm treating this as a neutral range until one side commits.
LONG (CONDITIONAL) SCENARIO
Confirmation
0.780
Closing above 0.780 on the 1H confirms reclaim of mid-range resistance and targets the upper zone.
Invalidation
0.720
Structure invalidated below 0.720 — that would signal the bounce is exhausted and lower lows are coming.
SHORT (CONDITIONAL) SCENARIO
Confirmation
0.770
Rejection at 0.770–0.780 resistance with a close back below 0.750 confirms the V-reversal has failed and range is rolling over.
Invalidation
0.785
Structure invalidated above 0.785.
Resistance: 0.780 / 0.820
Support: 0.720 / 0.700
