Additional notes and risk management
– Many healthcare/life science leaders closed in upper ranges, suggesting dips may be buyable if the market tone doesn’t deteriorate. If you see early-session broad risk-off (e.g., LABU and beta names failing early), tighten risk and wait for reclaim signals at the listed supports.
– Without the last 30 days of daily candles, listed support/resistance emphasize intraday zones and psychological levels. For a 1–5 day swing, keep size modest until a daily close confirms above the first resistance, then scale on constructive retests.
