Markets
European stocks were mixed and U.S. futures were broadly higher at the time of writing as Glencore shares recovered from their whipping yesterday. The company’s performance in the previous session helped push Asian equities sharply lower today, while continued fears about China’s economy didn’t help. However, India’s Sensex rose after a greater-than-expected rate cut by the central bank.

Today’s Hypotheses: December (Z) Contract
*****The levels outlined below are more general framework within a larger range…They are to be used are reference prices from which to consider trade opportunities, not hard trade levels.
Scenario 1: Price is currently above PL (1868.75)…IF price can hold above this level during cash session, THEN odds (82%) favor a “relief rally” initially targeting 1882.75, then 1891.00 Central Pivot. Further strength above this level targets 1899.25, followed by 1910.25, which is today’s bullish objective to qualify for positive 3 day rally.
Scenario 2: Violation and conversion of PL (1868.75) targets 1860.50, followed by 1858.00 – 1854.25 CD3 Violation Zone.
Trade Strategy: Our tactical trade strategy will simply remain unaltered…We’ll be flexible to trade both long and short side from Decision Pivot Levels. Continue to focus on Bull/Bear Stackers and Premium/Discounts. As always, remaining in alignment with dominant intra-day force increases probabilities of producing winning trades.
Stay Focused…Non-Biased…Disciplined ALWAYS USE STOPS!
Good Trading…David
