PLTR put E1 went EXEC at 9:50am at $138.19 and closed at 11:05am at $136.15 for +$2.04, with the general held for 75 minutes and a 56% control ratio against the $3.63 max MFE printed at 10:25am. Z3 activated bearish at 10:25am, seven bars after E1, and peaked at -1.75 at 10:30am with two favorable cape bars total. Structure was in place early: E1 printed in the loft above both VPOC and TPOC, a bear volume anchor from 9:35am sat overhead with no bull anchor below, the Kijun flip hit at 9:55am, bands had tightened into the open, BBW+STD expansion and present volume came in from 10:05am into 10:20am, and range extension below the IB low landed at 10:25am while DI- never needed a fresh cross after entry. Pain was low because the entry was clean and price moved in the right direction immediately, but the exit gave back $1.59 from the peak before the close. Clean campaign, average hold efficiency, and still worth the seat because the structure confirmed before Z3 activated and the general never broke.
