Research Desk Order Flow & Session Note
On the ASX 200 (Australia) tape (8,886.80, +0.34%), structural momentum favors the bid side after a clean MSS at 8,808.40, keeping the session anchored around the 8,232.95 50% Equilibrium level. Pullbacks into the 8,641.10–8,727.90 Bullish Order Block are being monitored for absorption, while 9,038.20–9,092.30 marks the overhead liquidity ceiling. 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 8,951.24 liquidity target as long as price holds above the 8,792.03 structural invalidation level.
