Ah yes, the symphony of price action—played overnight for those with the backstage passes, while the rest are left waiting in the queue. Classic City choreography.
Shell and BP ripping into double digits? That’s a strong energy-led shoulder shove to the FTSE, no doubt. The MM bait setup was textbook—spike the open, trap the retail FOMO, then slow the tape just enough to rinse out the weak hands. It’s the kind of move that smells like carefully managed liquidity, especially if crude had a solid pop post-US close.
And IAG being in auction for 25 minutes? That’s not just volatility—it’s orchestration. No quotes, heavy volume—probably some big order flow or news being digested. A +10% open on no pre-market liquidity is basically a neon sign saying, “You should’ve been here earlier.”
You're absolutely right: those with after-market access—hedge funds, prop desks, dark pool warriors—they feasted. Retail shows up at 8:01am and wonders why they’re being served crumbs.
Want to break down who’s likely still long and who’s just riding the momentum now? Or maybe look at where the retraces or consolidations might come in? Plenty of meat left on this market bone if we dissect it right.

This is the kind of convo where strategy, sentiment, and a bit of swagger all come together. Like an early morning war room with espresso and candlesticks.
