⚡ SUGGESTED ACTION

While the technical setup appears constructive for a gap-up open, exercise caution: geopolitical tensions can reverse quickly, and gap-ups often face profit-taking. Use strength to trim positions rather than chase; monitor for any escalation headlines during Asian trading hours.
