📊 Range rhythm: textbook MATD execution

Opening Sequence:
Overnight targets fulfilled right on cue — ES hit the 6895–6900 zone, while NQ tagged 26115–26165. The morning opened with the tape coiled in negative gamma, that lovely environment where dealer hedging amplifies moves instead of damping them. As Manny reminded the crew:
“Negative gamma is a day trader’s playground.”
And David chimed in with the quote of the day:
“Make Negative Gamma Great Again!”
Early Structure:
The continuation long from 6890–6900 (Plan #4) fired early, with Manny booking +5 on partials and sliding stops to breakeven — disciplined execution ahead of opening volatility. A short scalp rotation developed as micro H&S completed, tagging the 6888 target. PTG precision at work.
Line in the Sand: 6875 held multiple roles throughout the session — first as a downside magnet, then as a structural pivot reclaimed post-OR shorts.
“Lots of reasons bulls MUST defend,” David noted as 6850–6843 (CD1 low) printed the vol-tri zone. Buyers responded right on time, restoring order to the sandbox.
Midday MATD Rhythm:
Clock cycles aligned perfectly:
🕙 Morning low 10:00–10:45 ✅
🕛 Lunch high 11:40–12:50 ✅
🕑 Afternoon low 2:00–2:45 ✅
By the 2PM “Shake n’ Bake”, price reverted neatly to VWAP. Afternoon action drifted into Dulls-ville, closing near mid-VWAP — a textbook Cycle Day 2 rhythm from start to finish.
Market Tone:
Gamma dynamics remained in focus — a tug-of-war between fleeting positive gamma flips and reversion-to-mean rotations. Manny summed it up:
“BS positive gamma sees little follow-through and trappy tape.”
Closing Read:
Cycle Day 2 complete — disciplined execution, respect for structure, and a clean rhythm from open to close. Bulls defended where they needed to, bears got their scalp rotations, and traders who followed plan walked away with clarity (and coin).
🔮 Next Up:
Cycle Day 3 – eyes on whether the bulls can reclaim the upper channel and sustain above 6905, or if negative gamma reloads for another rotation lower.
