Cycle Day 2 | Series S4H | “Be Nimble. Be Quick.”

The ES battlefield opened with buyer defense at 6714.50, an early tag-and-reclaim that delivered a modest upside push toward 6740–6745, fulfilling the first bull scenario before the rhythm flipped neutral. From there, the day turned into a classic “MATD minefield” — the kind where overzealous traders get chopped and disciplined ones just observe and survive.

Midday volatility turned the tape into a yo-yo between 6715 (Line-in-the-Sand) and 6690, with VIX rising above 20 — Manny’s cue to “play small ball.” A few surgical scalps here, a bunt there… no home runs required.

By Cycle 2 PM, the Shake-n-Bake sequence triggered. Sellers pressed through 6651, found D-Level (6636) — and, like clockwork, it tagged exactly and reversed. PTG’s voodoo-level magic once again reminded everyone why it’s the community’s “secret weapon.”

Even with a late-day $3.5B MOC buy imbalance, bulls failed to fully reclaim control — a tale of effort without dominance.
The message of the day?
🧘‍♂️ Discipline over prediction. Nimbleness over noise.
