0:00 – Introduction & 500th Episode Opening
Micros Trader welcomes viewers to the 500th episode of the AM Briefing, marking the milestone with context on the date and purpose of the session.

0:24 – Scripture and Trading Philosophy
The briefing begins with a verse from 1 Samuel, reminding traders to look beyond appearances—an analogy for focusing on underlying market dynamics rather than surface-level moves.

0:43 – Tip of the Day: Counter-Trading Profit Taking
Micros Trader advises that counter-trend trades require faster profit-taking, either by following at 50% of the move or exiting at the next bounce level.

0:59 – News Drivers, Livestream, and Battle Plan Access
Economic data releases include Durable Goods before the open and Consumer Confidence plus Richmond Manufacturing after. The daily battle plan is unlocked for all traders, and the YouTube livestream begins 15 minutes before the open.

1:35 – Chart Review and Strong Levels (6455 & 6429)
Analysis highlights strong levels at 6455 and 6429 as pivotal areas. Losing 6455 could open the door to 6429, providing potential short setups.

2:44 – Counter-Trading Example and Trade Management
A Trump tweet sparked a sharp move, leading Micros Trader to exit his long at 50% of the move. He explains how counter-trading decisions are made on the 30-minute chart, which shows a laddering down structure.

3:31 – Short Setup Considerations and Missed Long
A planned short at 5350 was removed due to jumpy DOM action. A long entry was missed by not front-running the level, reinforcing the lesson of patience and precision.

4:46 – Strong Levels Performance and Bull/Bear Line
Published strong levels from Sunday night held well with multiple bounces. The bull/bear line is emphasized as the weekly sentiment guide—favoring longs above it, shifting bias below it.

6:04 – Market Structure, Powell Day, and Yesterday’s Low
The market is barely inside yesterday’s range and eyeing a potential “Powell Day” retracement. Trading under yesterday’s low is considered a notable signal for live session adjustments.

7:01 – Asia Session Dominance & Key Levels for Bulls/Bears
The Asia session once again outpaced both London and New York, driving major market moves. Key focus remains on staying above the bull/bear line for long opportunities, with 62 highlighted as a trigger level.

7:55 – Long/Short Scenarios and Expected Range Targets
Above the bull/bear line, longs are favored with add-on levels higher up. Below it, the target shifts toward the expected downside range, with opportunities to position for counter longs in the right areas.

8:23 – Call to Action: Join Live and Get the Battle Plan
Traders are reminded to join the pre-market livestream 15 minutes before the open and download the unlocked battle plan from MicroTrader.com to prepare for both today’s and tomorrow’s trades.
