💡 Detailed Puzzle Analysis

1. Primary HPS at KEP Setup (2EL at Trendline + 21 EMA):
After the initial bull expansion, the market pulled back towards the 21 EMA and the bottom boundary of the ascending parallel channel. As swing counting began for the long side, the first attempt (1EL) failed to break out immediately, holding support. The second pullback triggered a high-probability 2EL (2nd Entry Long) right at the confluence of the 21 EMA and trendline support.

2. Secondary Setup (Higher Low Confirmation):
Following the sharp rally to the upper channel trendline, price pulled back again. A second 2EL formed, followed immediately by a strong Higher Low (HL) signal bar off the lower trendline, offering a secondary re-entry setup before the next move up.
