Rationale
WMT is trading 105.56, 0.95 ATR below its 20-day average of 107.49, and has printed lower highs all session (107.03, 106.49, 106.13, 105.82) while the S&P 500 rose: relative weakness in defensives on a risk-on day. The target 104.40 requires breaking the 105.33-105.35 double low from yesterday and today, which is the main risk to the idea; a 5-minute close above 105.82 would mean the selling has stalled, and the stop sits at 106.33. The idea is intraday and must be closed by 19:55 UTC, so there is no overnight carry; with a stop of about 0.73% of price, trading costs should be measured on your own account and can take a meaningful share of R if commissions apply.
Invalidation
A 5-minute close back above 105.82 (the 16:10 UTC lower high) breaks the intraday sequence of lower highs; the stop at 106.33 adds 0.25 x ATR14 of noise margin above it.
