Research Desk Order Flow & Session Note
Bovespa (Brazil) (171,232.16, -0.58%) trades under defensive institutional distribution following a MSS at 181,562.00, positioned in the Premium zone (4.4% from the 163,968.50 50% Equilibrium pivot). Any intraday retest into the 204,120.00–205,757.00 Bearish Order Block faces overhead distribution, with 161,765.00–163,146.00 acting as the primary downside magnet. An open Bearish Fair Value Gap (167,008.00–175,711.00) reinforces overhead supply on relief rallies. Session Follow-Up: Sellers defended overhead supply throughout the session; staying below 176,716.77 preserves the drawdown trajectory toward 163,005.23.
