GOOGL PUT +$7.21 (+721F) held from 10:00–3:55 — move confirmed early
Volatility expanded after the open and then sellers kept pressure on from 10:25am, turning the trade into a clean grind lower with almost no pullback from max profit. The timing was confirmed by bearish options flow turning in force, momentum flipping to sellers, and an institutional volume spike that arrived with the Kijun break and the range break below $392.98.
GOOGL’s 10:00am PUT at $395.85 closed at 3:55pm at $388.64 for +$7.21, a full-session hold that captured 100% of the available move. Z3 flipped bearish at 10:25am, just five bars after entry, and stayed meaningful for 25 bars with a peak downside momentum reading of -5.03 at 2:40pm. The move got real at 10:25am when sellers took control on DMI, price flipped below the Kijun, broke below the IB low at $392.98 for range extension, and did it with a fresh volume pop, all while a 9:40am bear volume anchor from the loft sat overhead with no bullish anchor underneath to fight the short. This one was clean from the jump with basically no adverse close against the entry before it started paying, and it kept grinding lower into the close with almost no giveback from peak profit.
Verdict: clean, confirmed, and absolutely worth the hold.
