Judged on the first hour after the first touch. Reacted = moved $8+ back from the level before $8 through it. Accepted beyond = 30+ of those 60 one-minute closes on the other side (time + volume). Traded through = neither. Futures data, 1-minute bars; this is a review of reference levels, not a scorecard of trades.
Session still in progress: this review updates until the New York close.
Education only. Levels are reference points from real futures volume, not signals.
