Ahhh yes… FRYday.
The day Wall Street likes to put on a little mascara, fluff the tape, and try to float price into the weekly close like nothing messy happened Monday through Thursday.
Except this week? Not exactly spa music and champagne. More like inventory liquidation, rotation, and a couple sharp elbows thrown in for good measure.
And yet…
Structure doesn’t care about the drama.
Before most traders finished arguing with their indicators, the BEAR CASE target at 6860 was already handled. Not “almost.” Not “watching.” Not “thinking about trimming.”
Fulfilled. Stamp it. Move on.
Then right on cue — headline theater. Supreme Court chatter. Tariff noise. Social media lighting up like somebody discovered fire. You could practically feel the emotional overreactions heating up the order book.
Meanwhile in PTG land?
We followed the plan.
Because here’s the punchline most retail never learns:
The market rotates inventory whether you’re emotional about it or not.
Cycle Day 1 did what Cycle Day 1 does best. It probed. It established the low. It projected the range. It rotated the books. And when the dust settled?
Cycle Day 1 Low Projection — fulfilled.
High Range Projection — fulfilled.
Both sides of the board kissed and completed.
That’s not luck.
That’s rhythm.
That’s the Power of the 3-Day Cycle flexing without needing applause.
Oh… and let’s casually mention the Open Range Strategy TRIFECTA. Clean. Clinical. Almost disrespectfully precise. The kind of execution that makes you sip your coffee a little slower because the heavy lifting was already done.
Some will call it boring.
Good.
Boring pays.
Boring compounds.
Boring funds freedom.
Flashy trades make for great screenshots. Structured trades make for great statements.
FRYday didn’t need a squeeze to be productive. It needed discipline. And discipline showed up wearing a tailored suit and a smirk.
So while the crowd chased headlines, we harvested objectives.
While others reacted, we executed.
While emotions spiked, projections clicked.
Reset. Reload. Respect the Cycle.
Have a powerful weekend, crew.
