MU CALL +$46.56 (+233F) from 9:45am to 4:00pm — bands squeezed hard

Bands tightened into the entry, with a clean trigger at 9:45am ($701.11) and an exit at 4:00pm ($747.67) for +$46.56, capturing the full close-to-close push. Momentum kept confirming (bullish cape at 9:50am, DI+ won at 2:20pm after the 1:50pm–2:20pm breakthrough, and volume charging) with no bearish overhead anchor.

MU paid +$46.56 from a 9:45am CALL entry at $701.11 to a 4:00pm exit at $747.67, a full-session hold that captured 100% of the available close-to-close move. Z3 flipped bullish at 9:50am, just one bar after entry, and stayed constructive for 23 total cape bars with a peak reading of 3.03 at 12:25pm. The move had clean structure from the start with a bullish volume anchor set at 9:30am above the Initial Balance high and no opposing anchor overhead, then later got confirmation from a 1:50pm rogue volume burst, bands tightening into the afternoon, and both buyers taking DMI control and the Kijun flip hitting at 2:20pm, even though there was no range extension beyond the IB high. This one barely dipped against the position at all and hit its first meaningful push without making traders sit through any real heat.

Verdict: clean, efficient, and absolutely worth the hold.
