IWM opened at 289.81 and dipped to a session low of 287.98 before recovering to 289.86 — it briefly violated the 290.0 put wall before clawing back, so support held on a closing basis but was not sustained cleanly throughout the morning.

SPY and VIX theses hit cleanly this morning, but QQQ flipped the script by outperforming — bulls are in control with 750 as the floor and 755 as the key breakout gate for the rest of the session.
