SPY CALL HOLD entered at 10:15 am at $737.27 and exited at 4:00 pm at $740.86 for +$3.59, with max MFE at $741.41 at 3:35 pm and an 87% control ratio. Z3 activated bullish at 10:20 am, one bar after E1, and stayed present for 15 bars with 11 favorable bars before the move matured. The general had structure fast: price pushed into range extension above the IB high at 10:25 am at $737.77, the bull volume anchor was set at 10:05 am in the cellar with no opposing anchor overhead, active to charging volume kept showing up, and the real confirmation came from 12:20 pm to 12:45 pm when volatility expanded, DI+ took control at 12:40 pm, and the Kijun flip printed the same bar. Pain was contained early with a $0.44 pullback at 10:20 am, but it took 345 minutes to show 10F and gave back $0.55 from the peak into the close. This was not a clean rip; it was a valid all-day general that held, cost time, and still kept most of the move on exit.
