AVGO paid on the short side: the put entered at $421.92 at 11:05am and exited at $410.62 at 2:30pm for +$11.30, a 3 hour 25 minute hold that captured 79% of the best move. Z3 flipped bearish at 11:45am, just 8 bars after entry, stayed favorable for 14 bars, and hit a full -8.00 reading at 2:05pm as downside momentum finally opened up. The move got real off a bearish volume anchor from 10:35am above the Initial Balance high with no support anchor below, then volume stacked from 11:30am into the afternoon, volatility expanded in multiple waves, sellers took control on DMI at 11:40am, the Kijun flip hit at 11:55am, and the day confirmed with range extension below the IB low at 1:15pm at $413.88. It wasn’t instant: AVGO pushed $0.35 against the put at 11:30am and took 180 minutes to show 10 points of favorable excursion, so this needed patience before the breakdown really paid.

Verdict: messy early and definitely theta-expensive, but the structure was right, the confirmations kept stacking, and holding was worth it even after giving back $2.98 from the peak.
