Theme: Sideways grind, heavy flirting, no climax until further notice
CD2 showed up exactly how it likes to:
tight jeans, smug grin, and zero intention of committing early.
Pre-Market: Foreplay Was Obvious
Both ends of the range got poked before the bell —
6965 on top, 6925 on the bottom.
That’s the market saying:
“I’m not running away with you… but I might grind on you all day.”
Translation:
Range-bound expectations, two-way traffic, and a high probability of chop-induced regret for impatient hands.
ES: The Power Bottom Holds
-
6925 = absolute unit of support
-
Buyers planted their feet and said “nope, not today” — repeatedly.
-
Every dip got bought like it owed money.
-
VWAP acted like a cold shoulder early… price kept circling back anyway.
This wasn’t rejection.
This was acceptance with benefits.
NQ: Absolute Freak in the Best Way
While ES was behaving, NQ went full influencer energy:
-
Took control
-
Led the dance
-
Dragged ES higher whether it liked it or not
Above 25635 ±10, bulls stayed dominant and confident:
-
🎯 25685
-
🎯 25725
-
🎯 25775 — spanked and fulfilled
DLMB zones?
Straight-up slap-you-back-to-reality rejections.
Clean. Loud. No ambiguity.
Money Box Zone got handled like it was scheduled. ✔️
Volume Profile: Thick at the Top
POC parked near the highs like:
“Yeah… this feels right.”
That’s not distribution — that’s buyers and sellers doing business in bed, lights on.
High volume ≠ rejection.
It’s acceptance with eye contact.
Distribution?
We’ll talk about that after the walk of shame, not mid-session.

MOC sell imbalance?
$600M…
Mice nutz. 🐭🥜
Didn’t move structure. Didn’t ruin the mood.
Bottom Line
-
CD2 did exactly what it was supposed to do
-
Edge traders ate, chop chasers got indigestion
-
NQ wore the pants
-
ES stayed obedient
-
Anyone forcing breakouts learned something about consent
Market closed satisfied, not exhausted.
Weekend earned. 😎🔥
