“A Day of Jam-Jobs, Starling Patterns, and Nvidia-Induced Heart Palpitations”

The session opened with textbook DTS precision: both upper and lower target zones fulfilled in ES and NQ before most traders had time to finish their coffee. The 6640 pivot behaved like a well-trained bouncer — allowing entry only for those prepared to respect the rules.

Bulls opened the day with a massive squeeze that looked bullish for all of 12 minutes before revealing itself to be what it truly was:
👉 A beautifully orchestrated jam-job, not a legitimate accumulation.
As price pulled back from the highs, buyers evaporated like responsible trading habits on FOMC minutes day.

Key Notes from the Field:

• 6655–6665: First bull upside fulfilled early.

• 6625–6620: Bears snagged their target with surgical precision.

• Bulls defended the 6620 Prior Value Low heading into the afternoon — a rare sign of structural integrity after several days of red candles.

• Opening squeeze → vacuum reversal → elevator down → lunch chop → face-ripper into the close.

• Traders emotionally pendulated between “Giddy Up” and “Never again.”

By 2PM, the ES entered “range-runner” mode, an inherently unstable condition where liquidity pockets behave like banana peels on a marble floor.
Volatility expanded, rhythm evaporated, and traders were reminded that the market owes no one a pullback, a retest, or a hug.

Late afternoon showcased:

• 15–20 handle swings on repeat

• Double-heartbeat velocity

• General consensus: “Somebody get me a pacemaker.”

• The classic PTG taxonomy of disorder appeared:
  The Starling Pattern — wherever the largest orderflow (“lead bird”) went, the entire flock followed in perfect chaos-sync.

Into the close, MOC flows surged:

• Buy imbalance escalated from $800M → $1.6B

• Price magnetized back to VWAP like a lost puppy

• All eyes turned to Nvidia earnings, the day’s true final boss

Finally, as David declared:
“Another day of black eyes, bruising, and broken egos. Good luck, Nvidia gamers.”
