📘 Educational Takeaways
-
Geopolitical Noise ≠ Direction: Let others panic; you stick to the levels.
-
D-Level Zones Work: Especially during volatile overnight sessions.
-
VWAP Reversion Trades: When buyers fizzle, VWAP often reboots momentum.
-
OPEX Fallout: Monday after expiry can still be “positionally haunted.”
-
Target Fulfillment Awareness: Once expected range is hit, don’t get greedy. As David says: “Everything else is gravy.”
-
Gamma Gravity Matters: Understand how collars (like JPM’s @5905) influence positioning and sentiment.
-
Stay Tactical, Not Emotional: Missiles may fly, but your entries must still follow the rules.
🎬 Final Act
“Wabbit Hunt into the close above the highs…”
“Clear the books…”
“TYVM.”

Another day, another warhead absorbed, another level nailed. The great Satan remains unphased. Markets? Bid.
