🔥 FRYday the 13th — Cycle Day 2 Masterclass 🔥
David… this one had everything.
From CPI calm… to open range rotations… to full target completion… to MOC sell imbalance into the close.
Let’s frame this properly.
🎯 Cycle Day 2 — Precision in Motion
Game Plan Levels: 6845 ±5
🔴 Bear Case Activated First
• 6822 ✔️ Fulfilled
Sellers pressed early. Bulls slipped on the soap above 6845.
Open Range shorts paid.
Then came the pivot…
🟢 Bull Case Reclaimed Control
Reclaim of CD1 Low (6842) = Ball back in Bull hands.
Acceptance above 6845 → Structure shift confirmed.
Upside objectives:
• 6865 ✔️
• 6885 ✔️
• 6895 ✔️
That’s not random.
That’s execution.
🧠 CPI Context (Fuel, Not Fire)
CPI MoM 0.2% vs 0.3% expected
YoY slightly cooler
No panic.
No melt-up.
Just orderly repricing.
Cycle rhythm > headline noise.
💼 FRYday Rule: Capital Preservation
You called it early:
“FRYday is Capital Preservation Day”
Targets hit.
Plan fulfilled.
Risk reduced into the weekend.
$1.266B MOC sell imbalance into the close confirms that late-week risk-off tone.
Professionals distribute into strength.
Amateurs chase.
🏆 What Stands Out
-
Lower targets fulfilled before upside reclaim
-
CD1 Low reclaim flipped control
-
All primary upside objectives completed
-
No emotional trading required
-
DTS Briefing executed cleanly
“You are now free to move about the cabin.”
That line hits different when 6895 prints first.
📆 Now: Monday Closed → Tuesday = CD3 Setup
Thin Globex.
Holiday-adjusted flow.
Positioning reset.
Cycle Day 3 incoming… and CD3 has a habit of testing conviction.
