Monday’s Session was Cycle Day 1 (CD1): Shallow price decline is the hallmark of underlying strength, as cycle rally propelled ever higher to fulfill 3 Day Cycle Objectives. Range was 62 handles on 1.250M contracts exchanged.
…Transition from Cycle Day 1 to Cycle Day 2
This leads us into Cycle Day 2 (CD2): Price is currently holding above prior Value High (3804) during overnight trade. Bulls will need to keep the auction buoyed above this level for further upside potential. There are two estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.
