S&P 500

Today is Cycle Day 3 …Price has fulfilled 3 Day Cycle Objectives. This sets up a “wildcard” day for today’s session (Cycle Day 3 or Sell Short Day).

IF momentum remains, price will need to Clear and Convert prior high to maintain momentum…If this scenario occurs, then further upside targets measure up to 3260.

FAILURE to carry higher with a Violation of 3242 Line In Sand (LIS), then expectation would be for deeper decline. Initial downside targets would be 3235, then 3230

Given that 3 Day Cycle Objective have been fulfilled, long-side will need to “prove-itself” worthy of further commitment.

As PTG Trade Strategy states: 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.

CD3 Range High = 3264.00          CD3 Range Low = 3230.00          CD3 Range Avg = 23.00

Scenario 1: IF Bulls hold bid above 3242, THEN initial upside targets 3250 – 3260 zone.

Scenario 2: IF Bears hold offer below 3242, THEN initial downside targets 3235 – 3230 zone.

Nasdaq 100 (NQ)

Today is Cycle Day 3…Price has fulfilled 3 Day Cycle Objective (8867) with action consolidating recent gains during overnight trade. Conversion of 8882 handle opens door for further upside. Violation and conversion of 8852 suggests a deeper decline potential unfolding.
