Examples & Case Studies

TSLA puts off king node for October 2nd, 2025:

• Some of the best risk to reward trades come from taking direct deflection plays off gatekeeper nodes and king nodes. In the case of TSLA at the open, we had a few things happen:

  • We had gapped up at open.

  • TSLA hit 470 king node.

  • We did not observe upside accumulation upon deflection.

  • We saw downside begin accumulating at 467 and 462, as well as 450.

• Q: Where would our profit targets be if we played the deflection?

  • A: By observing the rate of changes of nodes during a map reshuffle, we can make inferences as to where dealers are looking to reposition. In this case study in particular, we saw floors growing at 460 and 450.

⭐GIven the fact that TSLA had an insane run up prior to October 2nd flush, our immediate thought process going into this morning should have been not to chase pullbacks, but rather wait for a key pivot point to hit and act as a catalyst for a reversal. As reversal traders, we need to be patient and wait for these deflections to occur rather than try to chase a move that had already happened

SPX puts off 6750 ceiling for October 9th, 2025:

• SPX saw major nodes to the downside very early on in the day that acted as a significant area of interest. Our first red flag for a rug occurred when those downside nodes popped up and grew significantly. 6750 hit and rejected, which also lined up with a bearish golden pocket.

• SPY rejected its king node at 673 which was our second biggest red flag for downside (SPX downside nodes were #1 red flag), given that we were seeing floors beginning to grow at 670. Our immediate thoughts at this time should be to either short the pop, or wait for the floor to hit to play the bounce.

• QQQ was telling us a similar story, in which we saw 611 gatekeeper node get tapped and rejected, whilst seeing 607 and 605 grow and the king node pointed to the downside.

SPX hit 6715, SPY hit 670 and QQQ came within 50 cents of 607.

• Additionally, 670 SPY bounced to the cent. Calls off the deflection of the floor provided literally zero drawdown. Calls went 100% in a matter of minutes.

NFLX DIP BUY FROM THURSDAY, OCTOBER 30TH, 2025

Wednesday at close, noticed that NFLX was approaching a strong floor at 1090, in line with a key level of support.

• Given the lack of downside nodes at that level, we had excellent RR on calls.

• VEX showed a stair step up, with good upside accumulation for the weeks to come.

We enter at the direct test of 1090. As long as that level holds and we see upside growth, the play is valid.

• Friday, we opened with a gap up, NFLX announced a 10:1 stock split!
