YM Scalp.

This is one I didn't see coming- My larger bias for the short-term (based upon a 15min or greater chart) was to the downside, using that 30min 2T-type trap (after 3 waves on the same timeframe on the all-sessions chart coming out of Friday the 5th December's open) which also allowed for a slightly higher high on the daily as compared to the 28th November's high for a potential 2-wave continuation.

It made it up to the pivot resistance zone of 8890 ish (8889) for 4.5 x my risk (4.5R)- I took 2R...
