CCL support zone 24 hit

Support zone: close above is a hit. Close on the level is a push. Graded on the regular-session close.

A support zone is a price below the market where a large amount of options positioning sits. The idea is that this positioning can slow a move down there, so the test is simple: does the stock close above it? When it was posted at 09:56 ET, CCL traded at 24.74, 3.1% above the support zone. On the same map, the next level above was 25 and the next level below was 22. See the original post.

Price never closed a 5-minute bar on the wrong side of the support zone. Its closest approach was 0.66 away (24.66); the session range was 24.66 to 26.35. In the last hour price moved up 1.23, from 25.12 to 26.35.

The regular-session close was 25.14, 1.14 (4.75%) above the support zone at 24. Under the rule (support zone: close above is a hit), that is a hit.
