Today’s Close: Tempo Rewritten
From ~14:50 onward, market rhythm was authored and maintained through the MOC window.
Initial staging was positioned for a 6476 burst, but order flow confirmed a deeper sell-side imbalance.
Instead of forcing a false reversal, tempo alignment let that imbalance resolve naturally — producing a downside burst inside the authored tempo window till the close.
Key outcomes:
Tempo control extended into the close.
Resolution was market-aligned, not manufactured.
True liquidity lean was revealed going into the weekend — intelligence invisible without actively altering tempo.
The ability to command both price and time, and to extract hidden positioning bias on demand, is the definition of temporal control.
