Prior Session was Cycle Day 2 (CD2): As expected, price did decline to test the CD1 Low (4317.25) as we wrote in DTS 10.13.21 >>> “Potential is high for price to retest the CD1 Low (4317.25) before this cycle’s rally can be sustained.” Range was 46 handles on 1.328M contracts exchanged.
…Transition from Cycle Day 2 to Cycle Day 3
This leads us into Cycle Day 3 (CD3): This cycle’s rally which began from successful test of CD1 Low (4317.25) is extending above PH (4364.75) fulfilling upper CD3 Penetration Zone. As such, estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.

2.) Price sustains an offer below 4390, initially targets 4375 – 4370 zone.
*****3 Day Cycle has a 91% probability of fulfilling Positive Cycle Statistics covering 12 years of recorded tracking history.
