Prior Session was Cycle Day 2 (CD2): Price recovered the CD1 decline as dip buyers were aggressive throughout the session. Prior range was 47 handles on 1.238M contracts exchanged.

 …Transition from Cycle Day 2 to Cycle Day 3

This leads us into Cycle Day 3 (CD3): Three-Day Cycle Statistic has been fulfilled as price is trading within prior value area. We’ll mark today as a “wild-card”. As such, there are two estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.

1.) Price sustains a bid above 4158, initially targets 4166 – 4168 zone.

2.) Price sustains an offer below 4158, initially targets 4145 – 4142 zone.

*****3 Day Cycle has a 91% probability of fulfilling Positive Statistic covering 12 years of recorded tracking history.

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
