Tuesday, 2/24/2026 — S3L — Turns (Spill up → AM LOW → Mid‑AM High → Lunch Low → Mid‑PM High → Last Hour Low) — Week 9
TODAY — S3L
Honing: Spill up, AM LOW, MID AM HIGH, lunch low, mid pm high, LAST HOUR LOW
WB's classic "stretch, not a statement" — may clearly show early noise today before the real auction begins. Late and deliberate marker that tells you the first hour was scaffolding, not structure. That timing shift is the first real clue this morning may belong to the operator, not the buyers reacting to the open.
WHAT NOT TO DO TODAY (S3L EDITION)
* Don't treat the 9:45 spill as directional conviction — on an S3L it's usually emotional runoff, not intent.
* Don't fade the MID AM HIGH blindly; check how it relates to yesterday's lunch high and mid‑PM low first.
* Don't assume the lunch low is a breakdown — on an S3L it's often the midpoint reset before the real push.
* Don't size up into 2:30; that seal is a filter for weak hands, not a reward for impatience.
* Don't expect the LAST HOUR LOW to be gentle — S3L closes often come with a psychological sting.

Monday, 2/23/2026 — S2L — Turns (Spill up, AM LOW, (NO MID AM), lunch high, mid pm low, LAST HOUR HIGH) — Week 9
YESTERDAY — S2L
KEWPIE DOLL more because there were no real turns you can lean on from yesterday.
The S1 Day is more about price discovery than direction.
So, odds are the last hour low will beg to be tested.
The bulls finished weak as price drifted back down to flert with the open.
WB HUMOR LAYER
* "Kid, if you're still surprised by 3:30 on an S3L, you're not trading — you're sightseeing."
* "Some of you treat seals like optional side quests. The operator treats them like payroll deadlines."
* "If lunch can't lift more than a third of the range, that's not a rally — that's a participation ribbon."
* "When the mid‑PM low wet‑beaks and you panic, the market whispers: 'Thank you for your donation.'"
TRADER’S CORNER
The S3L is a continuity test disguised as a trend day. Yesterday's S2L mapped the emotional boundaries; today's job is to see who defends them. Watch how the MID AM HIGH relates to yesterday's lunch high and mid‑PM low — that relationship tells you whether the operator is building or breaking structure. By the time you reach 3:30, the LAST HOUR LOW shouldn't surprise you; it should feel like the natural conclusion of a day spent testing conviction. Your edge isn't prediction — it's recognition.
THE UNDERCURRENT [1]
Beneath the surface, today's S3L is about confirming what yesterday only hinted at. The operator uses the seals to test whether the same hands that shaped the S2L are willing to step back in with size. Weak lunch, weak mid‑PM defense, and a LAST HOUR LOW all point to the same truth: the auction is leaning downward, not emotionally but structurally. The undercurrent is simple — the market is not confused; it's patient.
