S&P 500
Prior Session was Cycle Day 1 (CD1): Normal decline unfolded as price closed near session lows. Cycle context says that when this scenario occurs, expectation is for follow-through into next session targeting CD2 Violation Levels, which have been fulfilled during GLOBEX Session.
…Transition from Cycle Day 1 to Cycle Day 2
This leads us into Cycle Day 2 (CD2): Having closed low within the range, we have two scenarios: 1.) Violation of CD1 Low (2811.75), extending, targeting CD2 Violation Level (2797.50). 2.) Price holds CD1 Low (2811.75), pushing higher on the recovery rally targeting 2830 – 2840 zone.
P – VA High = 2845 P – VA Low = 2812 P – POC = 2823
Bull Scenario: IF Bulls hold bid above 2812, THEN initial upside estimate targets 2830 – 2840 zone
Bear Scenario: IF Bears hold offer below 2812, THEN initial downside estimate targets 2780 – 2770 zone.
