Two consecutive 5-min closes above 24348 (prior RTH High) with positive delta and rising CVD — Zone 10 supply and prior RTH High absorbed by buyers; expansion toward 24400+ probable; exit all shorts immediately. Intermediate: 5-min close above 24328 (Zone 10 EdgeHigh) with delta >+300 and CVD at new session high — buyers driving through zone with conviction; reduce to 50% and tighten stop to 24365.

5-min close below 24043 (prior RTH Low) with negative delta and CVD making new session low — Zone 9 demand base exhausted; price re-enters overnight breakdown territory; all longs stopped immediately. Secondary: price fails to close above 24150 (ZoneMid) within 3 bars of the zone test (no clean reclaim confirmation) — absorption incomplete; do not enter. If NFP beats strongly and price never flushes to Zone 9 base, this setup does not activate — move to Setup 1.

Two consecutive 5-min closes above 24430 with positive delta and expanding volume — NFP-driven breakout above prior RTH High with acceptance; BEARISH structure breaking; bear thesis seriously challenged; exit all shorts immediately. This represents acceptance above the WTD High (24348.25) and a structural regime shift candidate.
