Following a brutal selloff on Friday, U.S. stock index futures seesawed overnight as investors digested the latest coronavirus infection rates and what it will mean for the economy. At the time of writing, Dow futures are up 168 points, the S&P 500 is ahead by 0.67%, while contracts tied to the Nasdaq are dipping into the red due to troubles at Facebook (FB).

S&P 500
Friday’s Session was Cycle Day 2 (CD2): “Risk-Off” was the theme in prior session as price declined across the board testing CD1 Low (3005), closing slightly below.
…Transition from Cycle Day 2 to Cycle Day 3
This leads us into Cycle Day 3 (CD3): Price has fulfilled Positive 3 Day Cycle Statistic Objectives trading above CD1 low (3005) during GLOBEX and as such, we then have Two Scenarios to consider.
1.) Price sustains a bid above 3005, targeting 3015 – 3030 zone.
2.) Price sustains an offer below 3005 targeting 2995 – 2980 zone.
*****3 Day Cycle has a 91% probability of fulfilling Positive Statistic covering 12 years of recorded tracking history.
PVA High Edge = 3028 PVA Low Edge = 2997 Prior POC = 3017

Nasdaq 100 (NQ)
Today is Cycle Day 3 (CD3)…Price has yet to fulfill Positive 3 Day Rally Statistic as price remains below CD1 Low (9885.50). Odds are favorable for recovering back above during today’s session.
PVA High Edge = 9965 PVA Low Edge = 9850 Prior POC = 9928
Bull Scenario: IF Bulls hold bid above 9885, THEN initial upside estimate targets 9930 – 9965 zone.
Bear Scenario: IF Bears hold offer below 9885, THEN initial downside estimate targets 9783 – 9743 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
