🔍 Session Highlights

  • 🥇 Overnight Target Hit Parade:
    Both ES (6245–6255) and NQ (22885) struck their DTS-outlined targets before Wall Street even brewed its first pot of coffee.

  • 🎯 “Precision Target Strike”
    An accurate early tag of resistance zones marked a strong tactical win to end the month.

  • 📉 Early Short Setup:
    Traders noted a sharp short off the open — but quickly shifted to a “wait and see” mode as the market began its typical Cycle Day 2 balancing act.

  • 📦 The Sandbox Holds:
    Price played in the 6235–6245 range all session — like a kid at recess, contained and relatively calm… until…

  • 💄 Window Dressing Alert:
    The final hour brought some EOQ/EOM markup energy. Price ripped through 6245, kissed 6255, and confirmed the bull case.

  • 🛍️ MOC Imbalance: +$2.7B
    Massive Market-On-Close buy imbalance pushed bulls to scale and re-add into strength.

🧘‍♂️ Trader’s State of Mind

“Cannot push on the string…”
“Less is More today.”
“Sit on hands… let price do the work.”

PTGDavid’s mantra echoed a zen master in a bull suit: patient, opportunistic, and unbothered by mid-session lull.


📖 Educational Takeaway

🔹 Cycle Day 2 Behavior 101:
Balancing with upward lean = ideal setup for window dressing markup.

🔹 Higher Timeframe Alignment + PKB Setup = 🔥
Traders expressed deep appreciation for the PKB setup — citing 65–70% hit rates when confluences line up.

🔹 End of Quarter Cues:
Watch for large Market-on-Close imbalances and markup games in final hour of trading at EOQ.
