Patience When There’s Nothing Left to Chase

This leg has been all shelves — not momentum, not breakouts, not emotion.
Every push since the Sept 2 failed breakdown at 6371 has been launched from a defended base:

6430 → 6460 → 6491 → 6517 → 6535 → 6552 → 6578.

The tone hasn’t changed since September started — and that’s the point.

We opened the month in a hole, breaking balance to the downside on Sept 2.

But instead of collapsing, the tape flipped: 6371 launched the reversal from the 6460 Heartbeat I wrote about last Monday, and every push since has been driven by clean defended shelves, not runaway momentum.

Last week was an excellent week for bulls — five straight days of new highs.
And every one of them reinforced the same thing:

The best trades went to those who waited — not those who chased.

That context of the rally matters.

None of this was breakout-chasing. It was base → trap → reclaim → rotate.
And that’s why pressing here is dangerous.

I’m still carrying two small runners from the Sept 5 (6465) and Sept 9 (6490) longs, protected with stops at 6503.

That positioning is my edge right now.

My job isn’t to force trades at the highs — it’s to protect them, let the market confirm continuation, and not force new risk unless the market forces my hand with a clean setup.

Let’s dive into where that brings us Monday morning Sept 15, and where the Opportunities are
