Summary:

– Quick personal aside about his wife shopping, then a brief, family‑friendly market review.

– Recap of prior analysis (end of March YouTube/Twitter Spaces): he expected a drawdown to relative equal lows with a possible intraday reversal, warned about May volatility/new Fed chair, and described targets that could accelerate to the relative equal highs if certain levels cleared.

– On the micro NASDAQ intraday, he walked through specific levels: Thursday high (~26,563), all‑time/contract high (~26,859), and the midpoint “event horizon” (~26,711). He also highlighted the regular‑trading opening‑range midpoint (consequent encouragement) and an 8:23 electronic low as short‑term draw targets.

– Streaming issues forced him to call and timestamp trades on X (Twitter); he asks followers to link those tweets to TradingView to verify the real‑time calls.

– Trade actions and rationale: he identified fair value gaps, order blocks, propulsion blocks and a “bolo” defensive PD Array, used these order‑flow visuals to go long in stages (multiple single‑contract adds), took partials at fair‑value gap extremes, raised stops, and was later stopped out by what he characterizes as a manual stop hunt (not algorithmic).

– Main claim: his technical framework (continuous contract, PD arrays, inversion fair value gaps, event horizon) produced accurate targets and worked this week; he defends his bullish positioning and rebuts critics who said he didn’t call it.

– Logistics and sign‑off: he’ll be off Monday for a long weekend, returns Tuesday, thanks his community, and signs off.
