S&P 500
Prior Session was Cycle Day 1 (CD1): Shallow decline lead to continuation of rally up to the 4530 handle with narrowing range and volume. Range was 28 handles on 968K contracts exchanged.
…Transition from Cycle Day 1 to Cycle Day 2
This leads us into Cycle Day 2 (CD2): Price is pulling back down inside prior session’s range, finding buy response near the 4510 – 4512 zone. Normal for CD2 is for back n fill consolidation to absorb recent rally gains. As such, estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.
1.) Price sustains a bid above 4512, initially targets 4525 – 4530 zone.
2.) Price sustains an offer below 4512, initially targets 4505 – 4500 zone.
