Research Desk Order Flow & Session Note
Institutional structure on ASX 200 (Australia) remains upward-biased at 8,856.50 (-0.58%); recent MSS at 8,808.40 displacement confirms buyers are absorbing supply inside the Premium regime (8,232.95 midpoint). Footprint mapping highlights institutional demand resting at the 8,641.10–8,727.90 +OB zone, with the next major -OB supply barrier located at 9,038.20–9,092.30. An unmitigated Bullish Fair Value Gap (8,817.70–8,846.70) provides an additional magnet for dip-buying rebalancing. Pre-Market Gameplan: Look for continuation toward the 8,922.14 liquidity target as long as price holds above the 8,759.96 structural invalidation level.
