⚔️ Opening Action: Bruce Lee Mode Activated

With Bruce Lee’s wisdom setting the tone, Cycle Day 3 came in positively charged. Bulls and bears squared off around the key 6270 inflection, and PTG traders sharpened their edge with:

  • Bull Setup: Above 6270 → ✅ Initial target 6290–6295 hit by 9:30 AM

  • Bear Setup: Below 6270 → Still valid, especially after lunch fade


🎯 Open Range Trifecta

By 9:52 AM, David called the Open Range TRIFECTA:

  • ✅ @CL: Target 2 hit

  • ✅ @ES / @NQ: Target 1 fulfilled

  • 🚀 Early lean long delivered alpha before lunch chop took the wheel

🕛 Midday Mayhem: From Sizzle to Fizzle

  • Morning bull push turned out to be a short-jam…then slam

  • Two-way traffic in prior high zone

  • Dynamic Sandbox shifted: 6305–6315 ➝ 6275–6295

  • Volume thinned out (863K by 2:30 PM), setting up the reversal crawl

Then came the Fed…

📰 Fed Minutes:

  • No rate cuts likely for 2025

  • Fed Funds rate potentially not far above neutral

And just like that, the market sighed and chopped sideways.


📊 Breadth Check & Closing Drama

  • 📉 Poor market breadth: 300 decliners vs. 200 advancers (S&P)

  • 🛒 MOC Buy Imbalance: $1.4 Billion

  • 💪 Late-day lift held steady into the close — buy side stuck to the game plan


💬 Community Highlights

  • Bruce F dropped a gem: “Trading is the ultimate test in humility…”

  • Conversation on NR7 / Inside Days stirred up trade management strategies

  • “Peek-a-boo” patterns and bull flags made cameos throughout the day


 

🧠 Educational Takeaway

Price inflection ≠ prediction. Whether it’s an early long or a short-jam reversal, every setup needs price confirmation, trade structure, and flexibility.
