MRVL’s 10:30am CALL entry at $159.59 paid $4.78 by the 12:45pm exit at $164.38, a 2 hour 15 minute hold that captured 82% of the session’s best close-to-close move after a $165.40 peak at 12:10pm. Z3 flipped bullish at 10:50am, four bars after entry, then stayed on for 10 favorable bars with a peak reading of 5.33 at 11:10am, which is exactly the kind of early momentum ignition you want on a call. The move got real in the 10:40am–11:10am window as buyers took control on the DMI at 10:45am, the Kijun flip hit at 10:40am, price pushed into range extension above the IB high at 10:50am at $161.72, volume showed up from 10:40am to 11:10am, and a 9:45am volume anchor from the loft sat underneath with no overhead resistance line in the way. It wasn’t clean early: MRVL closed $0.94 against entry by 10:35am and took the full 135 minutes to show 10 points of favorable excursion, so this was a patience trade, not an instant rip.

Verdict: messy start, strong confirmation stack, slight giveback from the peak, but still an efficient hold and absolutely worth sitting through once the signals lined up.
