Description: You triggered the MRVL put at $172.89 (9:50am) and exited at $166.73 (10:30am) for +$6.16, with volatility squeezed into the entry then expanding once it started moving. The confirmation was the early downside momentum (bearish momentum flash at 9:55am), a volume uptick 10:00am–10:05am, and the range breakdown that finally broke the IB low at $166.22 at 10:25am.

By Z3Gamma

MRVL’s 9:50am put at $172.89 paid $6.16 into the 10:30am exit at $166.73, a 40-minute hold that captured 92% of the available move. Z3 flashed bearish at 9:55am, one bar after entry, and peaked immediately at -1.60, telling you downside momentum showed up early and on time. The move had structure behind it: price was sitting in the upper part of the day’s opening range above both value references, leaning under a 9:30am bear volume anchor with no bull anchor below, bands tightened into the setup, active volume hit from 10:00am to 10:05am, there was no Kijun flip down after entry, and the real range extension didn’t land until 10:25am when MRVL broke below the IB low at $166.22. Pain was basically nonexistent since the entry moved the right way immediately, hit peak excursion by 10:25am, and only gave back $0.51 into the exit.

Verdict: clean short, low-stress hold, and efficient enough that there wasn’t much left on the table.
