Cycle Day 3 — “This Is Why We Do the Work”

Markets opened Cycle Day 3 buried well below the Cycle Day 1 Low (6855–6860).
Cue the nervous chatter. Cue the doom takes. Cue the confident shorts sharpening victory speeches.

Meanwhile…
the 3 Day Cycle was stretching before it sprinted.

The Setup (a.k.a. How the Trap Was Built)

• Long liquidation did its job
• Old inventory flushed
• New inventory accumulated cheaper
• Shorts got comfy — too comfy

That’s not bearish.
That’s textbook squeeze fuel.

And yes — the DTS Briefing literally warned:

“Never count out a Ripper Rally.”

The Trigger Pull

The market didn’t ask politely.

Once the $$box and TTT levels were hit overnight, price did what price does best when structure is aligned — it ripped faces.

Sandbox established and validated:
6875 – 6905

From there, it was simple:
• Above value → expand
• Shorts → panic
• Pullbacks → cancelled

The Scoreboard (Because Stats Matter)

✔ Cycle Day 1 Low reclaimed
✔ Positive 3 Day Cycle Statistic FULFILLED
✔ Official hit rate updated: 92.22%
✔ Cycle targets achieved into the close

If you were waiting for “a better entry”…
yeah… about that 😬

Final Word

This wasn’t random.
This wasn’t luck.
This wasn’t hindsight theater.

This was structure + patience + discipline doing exactly what it does best.

📈 Very fitting way to end Cycle Day 3 — on the highs, targets fulfilled.
