***Written 8 pm Tuesday evening for Wednesday’s trading for contribution to MrTopStep’s “The Opening Print” publication.

Tuesday’s Session was Cycle Day 2 (CD2): Price violated CD1 Low (4141.75) with a continuation trend lower during RTH fulfilling 4115, “down-range” objective. Range was 56.75 handles on 1.661M contracts exchanged.

 …Transition from Cycle Day 2 to Cycle Day 3

This leads us into Cycle Day 3 (CD3): Price is currently well below CD1 Low (4141.75) and typically has strong odds of recovering this level during Cycle Day 3 trading. Failure to recover would be marked as a “Statistical Cycle Failure” which only occurs 9% of the time tracked over twelve-years of data. As such estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.

1.) Price sustains a bid above 4123, initially targets 4137 – 4142 zone.

2.) Price sustains an offer below 4123, initially targets 4110 – 4103 zone.

*****3 Day Cycle has a 91% probability of fulfilling Positive Cycle 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
