Now we’re at 687.07 — just 1.83 pts BELOW the Flip (688.9).
The chart FLIPPED GREEN above 684. The magnets above us are pulling UP.
- #1 Strike: 690 (35.2M) – POSITIVE — pulling UP
- #2 Strike: 685 (29.5M) – POSITIVE — below us, now SUPPORT
- #1 AND #2 are BOTH POSITIVE = Strong bullish magnetic pull
This is a different battlefield than yesterday.
But we’re not celebrating yet. We’re AT the flip zone, not ABOVE it. Maverick has his wings back, but the final test is 689-690.
Break and hold 689 = Bulls take full control. Reject here = Back to 685 retest.

⚖️ DISCLAIMER – READ FIRST
This is not investment advisory. I’m not calling trades. I’m teaching you to think. These levels are NOT buy/sell signals. Trading involves substantial risk of loss. If you can’t afford to lose, don’t trade. No guarantees. Full disclaimer at bottom.
📋 To Be Fair to All:
- Do not post your trades publicly — only share with Gary or Q confidentially.
- The levels are key levels, but price can always change — no one controls the market. No crystal ball. No guarantees.
- We will post the tape after the fact — to avoid any misunderstanding during live calls.
- IF you create a student zoom room and you are bringing in paid members you are supposed to take permission. IKIGAI, Q or G and our associates and undertakings are not liable in any manner whatsoever directly or indirectly. Please review your agreement.
- We will not cherry pick. You will see the good, the bad, and the ugly.
- We’ll continue doing weekly calls to help you maintain clarity with structure.
🚨 WHAT ARE Q LEVELS? (READ THIS OR LOSE MONEY)
Q Levels are NOT support and resistance.
Q Levels are strikes where Market Makers who are EXPOSED will HEDGE. When price reaches these levels, MM activity creates reactions — but that does NOT mean you enter a trade.
Q Levels are 1 of 6 structure points. You need ALL 6 to make a trade decision:
| # | Structure Point | What It Tells You |
| 1 | Q Levels (Exposure) | Where MMs are exposed and will hedge |
| 2 | Liquidity Zones | Where stops are sitting (LQ Green / LQ Red) |
| 3 | Market Structure | CHoCH, BOS, Higher Highs, Lower Lows |
| 4 | Volume | Is money flowing in or out? |
| 5 | Time | Opening range, power hour, lunch chop |
| 6 | POI Confluence | Do multiple points align? |
❌ Q Levels alone = You will lose money ✅ Q Levels + 5 other structure points = You have an edge
Follow the education.
🚨 THE 5-MINUTE RULE (YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG)
WRONG: “Price hits 690, I wait 5 minutes, then I enter.”
RIGHT: “Price hits 690, I watch if it HOLDS above/below for 5+ minutes while checking structure. If it holds AND structure confirms, THEN I look for an entry.”
The 5 minutes is not a timer to enter. It’s a FILTER to see if the level is real.
| What You See | What It Means | What You Do |
| Price hits 690, immediately reverses | Level rejected, no hold | NO TRADE – wait |
| Price hits 690, chops around for 3 min, falls back | Failed to hold | NO TRADE – wait |
| Price breaks 690, holds above for 5+ min, structure confirms | Level accepted as support | NOW check your 6 points for entry |
The 5-minute hold is CONFIRMATION, not a green light.

Look at the flow 👆 — Calls dominate above 685. Puts only show up heavy at 680 and below. The battlefield has shifted BULLISH.
🎯 WHAT THIS MEANS
BOTH MAGNETS POSITIVE — BULLISH STRUCTURE
- #1 Strike: 690 (35.2M) – POSITIVE — pulling UP
- #2 Strike: 685 (29.5M) – POSITIVE — now SUPPORT below us
- #1 AND #2 are BOTH POSITIVE = Strong bullish trend setup
Price at 687.07. We’re ABOVE #2 (685) and pushing toward #1 (690).
Max Pain at 684 = Below us now. We’re trading ABOVE Max Pain — bullish sign.
The setup is bullish. The question is: Can we break and hold 689-690?
