By Z3Gamma

MRVL paid on the short side: the put entered at 9:35am at $166.59 and exited at 3:10pm at $159.92 for +$6.67 over a 5-hour 35-minute hold, capturing 86% of the session’s best close-to-close move. Z3 didn’t light up immediately, but once the bearish Z3 cape fired at 11:20am it stayed clean, printing 15 favorable bars with a peak reading of -3.07 at 11:55am. Structure confirmed fast with range extension below the IB low at 9:40am at $164.19, then the bearish case got real as the Kijun flip hit at 11:10am, DI- took control at 10:45am, volume built through late morning into noon, and volatility finally expanded during the 11:35am–12:10pm breakthrough window after bands had tightened at the open. It was not a clean entry early: MRVL pushed $1.73 against the position into 10:35am, and it took the full 335 minutes before the trade showed 10F, so you had to sit through real heat before the trend paid.

Verdict: messy start, strong confirmation later, and absolutely worth the hold if you could stomach the pain without flinching.
