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.⭐
