Cycle Day 3: “Free to Move About the Cabin”
🔗 Polaris Trading Group | Daily Trade Strategy
Session Narrative
The session began with a dose of uncertainty — literally, as traders checked charts, mics, and caffeine levels. Once the line cleared, PTGDavid dropped the key anchor:
“ZERO GAMMA >>> 6791.”
Translation: volatility leash shortened, and players were about to test the bounds.
Morning action confirmed Cycle Day 1’s low (6843.25) was officially reclaimed, satisfying the 91.82% Positive 3-Day Cycle Statistic — textbook precision. With that milestone hit, the phrase of the day echoed across chatrooms and charts alike:
“Price is free to move about the cabin.”
From there, the market played out a two-act structure:
-
Act I — Morning Bid: Opening Range longs paid up early, aided by put monetization flows that drove synthetic buying. The 6850 backtest acted as first-touch resistance, but dip buyers kept structure intact.
-
Act II — Afternoon Fade: Bears quietly regrouped, pressing the 6820–25 battleground. Once David called “Backside of the day — Bears have ball control,” the tone flipped. The Do-or-Die 6795 line became the final stand. Bulls held for a stretch, but late-session imbalances ($2.3B MOC sell) turned the lights out on the day’s optimism.
The 3-Day Cycle completed its statistical duty — and then politely exited stage left.

PTG Takeaway
When the 3-Day Cycle stat gets satisfied early, the rest of the day becomes a test of trader discipline — to stay aligned, not attached. The market didn’t owe more trend; it offered rhythm.
As David signed off:
“Cycle did its job… now play it close to the vest.”
Wise words. The disciplined did.
