Cycle Day 3 — Wild-Card Warfare, Buy-Throttle Jammed Forward

Today’s session delivered the full CD3 “wild-card” personality: early bruising, mid-day balancing, and a late-day bull stampede that refused to take its foot off the gas. If Monday was momentum entrenched, Tuesday was momentum caffeinated.

Opening Rhythms: Bruised, Battered, and Buzzing

The session kicked off with volatility high enough to rattle teeth. Clean ON-inventory flush straight from the open, followed by a “scalper’s paradise / position trader’s personal hell” rhythm.
NinjaTrader apparently took the worst of it — multiple reactor-core meltdowns across the room.

NQ was tossing traders around like a dryer full of shoes.
ES? Trailing right behind.
NVDA’s 5.5% slip (-$243B) only added fuel to the chaos.

Key Zones & Tactical Execution

DTS Briefing’s 6680–6665 pullback zone was surgical:

• Manny’s Setup #2 lit up: +5, +10, +25, and best cover +30.

• Alignment across the room — everyone skating to where the puck would be, not where it was.

From there, action transitioned into balance, bulls quietly muscling control under the surface.

The Turn: Bulls Take Command

Once price reclaimed the 6720 handle, actionable upside laid out clean:
6745 → 6765 → 6782, with stretch toward 6813.
And boom-boom-boom — each domino fell.

• 6745 tagged.

• 6765 achieved and cleared.

• 6782 hit into the close.
  TYVM.

By mid-afternoon, bulls had locked the battlefield. Sellers were reduced to spectators with bruised egos and even bruisier PnLs.

Late-Day Flow: The Buy-Throttle Jam

Closing hour?
Runaway bull.
Bid streams pumping like someone leaned on the accelerator and snapped it off.

Market-on-Close imbalance: +$2.7B BUY
Not enormous by headline standards — but the tape behaved like it was twice that.

Closing Notes

CD3 wild-card lived up to its name:

• Early chaos

• Structured mid-day

• Late-day melt-up

• Buyers stepping over bears with Olympic-level form

Charts confirmed. Rhythm confirmed. Targets fulfilled.
