🎯 Scenario Execution – “The Strange Game”
Cycle Day 1 played out by the book — but not without a few fakeouts, shakeouts, and a philosophical moment straight out of WarGames.
🗝️ Key Levels & Action
-
Line in the Sand: 6425 held court most of the day — a true gravity point.
-
Bearish Trigger: Price slipping below 6425 led to a grind lower, hitting 6415 > 6405 targets as forecasted.
-
Buyer Rescues: Bulls attempted CPR at the 6410–6415 zone multiple times, but reclaim attempts struggled until…
-
Late Game Heroics: MOC Buy Imbalance of $1.2B delivered the cavalry charge. Bulls punched through the 15s with force into the close.
🧠 Market Mindset
“The only winning move is not to play…”
David’s midday upload said it all — as the market chopped and trapped. But then…
Sellers smacked bids, buyers stepped up, and volatility whispered, “not dead yet.”
🐂 Bulls’ Mission Brief
-
✅ Defended CD1 Low
-
✅ Reclaimed 6415 into close
-
🚧 Must maintain firm bid above CD1 low heading into Tuesday
-
🎯 Target? Keep climbing the ladder with eyes on FOMC presser rhythm mid-week
🐻 Bears’ Briefing
-
✅ Held open range shorts early
-
✅ Forced OPR longs to tap out
-
❌ Failed to press below value for a deeper flush
-
🧼 Still left the bulls feeling like they needed “SOAP” (per Slatitude39)
🔮 Outlook
With FOMC Presser Wednesday, we’re likely to stay in this “grind it out” mode — probing value, fading strength, and punishing overconfidence.
Stay tactical. Stay frosty.
