***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): Because of the holiday shortened session, the normally expected decline for Cycle Day 1 was delayed into Cycle Day 2 Morning Session. The Afternoon Session reflected a normal Cycle Day 2 consolidation type trade. Market on Close Buy Imbalance was $1.1 Billion. Range was 40.50 handles on 1.287M contracts exchanged.
…Transition from Cycle Day 2 to Cycle Day 3
This leads us into Cycle Day 3 (CD3): Price is currently (as of the close) below Cycle Day 1 Low (3947). We would be expecting some magnitude rally for this CD3 to recover the CD1 Low. As such, there are two estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.
1.) Price sustains a bid above 3930, initially targets 3940 – 3945 zone.
2.) Price sustains an offer below 3930, initially targets 3815 – 3910 zone.
*****3 Day Cycle has a 91% probability of fulfilling Positive Statistic covering 12 years of recorded tracking history.
PVA High Edge = 3937 PVA Low Edge = 3924 Prior POC = 3930

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
