By Z3Gamma

META put E1 went EXEC at 10:20 am at $608.73 and closed at 3:15 pm at $602.82 for +$5.91 on a 4 hour 55 minute hold, with a 76% control ratio against max MFE of +$7.78 at 3:00 pm. Z3 activated bearish at 10:35 am, 3 bars after entry, stayed active for 16 bars with 12 favorable bars, and peaked at 3.32 at 1:00 pm. The move had structure behind it: a bear volume anchor sat in the loft at 9:55 am with no opposing bull anchor below, entry came from the core while price was already above VPOC and TPOC, DI- took control at 10:25 am, range extension hit below IB low at 10:45 am at $605.71, the Kijun flip lower came at 12:55 pm, and the 12:35 pm–1:15 pm window stacked active volume with STD expansion and the Z3 peak. Pain was low: the entry was clean with no meaningful adverse close before the trade reached 10F, then it gave back $1.88 from the $600.95 peak into the 3:15 pm exit. Clean campaign, efficient hold, and worth sitting through because the general held from the core break to the late-session exit.
