⚔️ Battlefield Recap

The 6485 LIS proved to be the “hill to take.” Bulls stormed it with absorption and order-flow confirmation, reclaiming levels with conviction. From there, rotations fueled tactical advances toward 6500, 6515, and ultimately 6520+, where cycle targets and liquidity alignments triggered New All-Time Highs.

Closing bell brought a MOC Buy Imbalance of $1.30 Billion, sealing the session firmly in bull control.


Summary: Process-driven execution rewarded disciplined traders. Key levels respected, cycle targets nailed, and the battlefield closed with bulls firmly in command at record highs.
