Prior Session was Cycle Day 1 (CD1): Price did produce a decline albeit shallow. When this occurs, the read-through is that the sellers are weak, resulting in a continuation rally. Range was 68 handles on 1.069M contracts exchanged.
…Transition from Cycle Day 1 to Cycle Day 2
This leads us into Cycle Day 2 (CD2): Price has extended above PH (4690) fulfilling CD2 Penetration Level (4701.50). Today is the final trading session before Christmas and with price hovering near 4700 strike, expectation will be for relatively light rotational volumes. As such, estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.
1.) Price sustains a bid above 4690, initially targets 4702 – 4712 zone.
2.) Price sustains an offer below 4690, initially targets 4678 – 4572 zone.
