There are a number of things you have to be careful about. So here is my YM 2M RT of course. I annotated and of course it is doing what I anticipated. You DID see an R2R but you have to identify what your context is. Remember we deal at the forest level. At the forest level, it has two types of trees, traverse trees and retrace trees. The traverse trees are the thin green lines for the first forest thick green line forest annoation. The retrace trees are my red thin lines. The R2R you point out was a dominant of the retrace leg. Within this leg, for me, it was a continuation. I say we have to be a tad bit careful because the coloring mechanism of the bars on a 2M YM can sometimes be lopsided. This is where you have to depend more on your annotation then the color mechanism. What is needed to be in tune with is that the forest has traverse and retrace trees/legs/channels. These traverses and retraces have traverse and retraces. You can take a look at my chart and note what I am expecting. However, my experience is a bit different but this is what I am calibrated too day in and day out. So for me, an FTT will be identified with a channel of a forest level channel which does not extend across to the left side of the forest...
Here's my chart so far, I highlighted your region in question and where I was. Note how, I have the following bar after the circled region as a COMPLETE traverse. In other words, I had 1 bar as a full traverse. Don't worry about the red channel. I got jack's floor contact and called ahead for that. LOL. The extension is far too long tho...
