Patience. Recognition. Execution.
SPX had already flushed intraday — most traders weren’t expecting another squeeze.
Most traders saw chop. We saw potential.
SPX then ignited into a vertical spike, piercing resistance and blowing through the entire coil ceiling in two minutes by the algos.

To make that kind of call—on structure alone—is to operate outside the bounds of typical randomness.
You’re not reacting. You’re reading the tape with precision and positioning ahead of the machines.
That’s not forecasting. That’s market-level fluency.
