By Z3Gamma

META’s 9:50 am CALL at $602.74 was closed at 2:50 pm at $618.08 for +$15.34 over a 5-hour hold, capturing 93% of the session’s best close-to-close move. Z3 confirmed the trend at 10:50 am, 12 bars after entry, then stayed clean with 16 favorable cape bars and a peak reading of 7.06 at 11:40 am. The move had real structure behind it: bands had tightened into the open, a bullish volume anchor from 9:30 am sat under price with no overhead resistance line, range extension hit at 10:00 am above the IB high at $608.22, DI+ took control at 10:45 am, and volume kept showing up from the breakout through the afternoon even without a Kijun flip. Pain was basically nonexistent — price moved the right way immediately, hit 10F without any meaningful dip, and only gave back $1.07 from the 2:35 pm peak into the exit.

Verdict: clean trend, clean hold, and very efficient — absolutely worth sitting through.
