April 22 Recap: We Called the Move. Did You Catch It?
What we spotted at 8:27 AM turned into the cleanest move of the day — and you could’ve traded it too.
Let’s rewind to 8:27 AM this morning.
No economic data.
No tariff headlines.
The market was still licking its wounds from Monday’s steep drop.
But we said something very specific in our morning context:
“Markets are now trading back inside the opening range of Friday’s session… If we hold this strength, we could be looking at a full gap fill.”
And that’s exactly what happened. Check the details below
The Power of Planning Before the Bell
While most traders waited for confirmation, we were already prepared.
We watched the structure reclaim early.
We saw the pre-market strength build.
We identified the gap fill zone before the open.
What followed?
A textbook gap-and-go
A clean reclaim of higher time frame levels
A full gap fill to prior day’s open with zero noise if you were ready for it
This Is Why Market Context Matters
If you’ve been following our content, you know we don’t chase.
We don’t predict.
We prepare.
And days like today prove why that approach matters.
The Gap Fill + Higher Frame Reclaim isn’t just theory — it’s one of the core setups we teach in the playbooks below. Today was a masterclass in that strategy.
