S&P 500
Prior Session was Cycle Day 1 (CD1): Early weakness successfully testing prior low zone lead to a short covering rally which propelled price 121 handles higher to the 4300 handle. Prior range was 121 handles on 1.746M contracts exchanged.
…Transition from Cycle Day 1 to Cycle Day 2
This leads us into Cycle Day 2 (CD2): Normal for a Cycle Day 2 is for some ‘back n fill’ consolidation activity to balance previous session. CD1 Low is marked at 4182.50, so given today is end of month, anything goes! As such, estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.
Bull Scenario: Price sustains a bid above 4250, initially targets 4265 – 4270 zone.
Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 4250, initially targets 4235 – 4230 zone.
PVA High Edge = 4300 PVA Low Edge = 4215 Prior POC = 4278

Nasdaq 100 (NQ)
Today is Cycle Day 2 (CD2)…Today we’ll be looking for a CD2 “normal” for price to stabilize recent wide-range volatility. Tech earnings (AAPL; AMZN) will have influence today as traders digest and assess future portfolio positioning. Prior range was 509 handles on 745k contracts traded. As such, there are two estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.
Bull Scenario: IF Bulls sustain a bid above 13294, THEN initial upside estimate targets 13375 – 13438 zone.
Bear Scenario: IF Bears sustain an offer below 13294, THEN initial downside estimate targets 13177 – 13126 zone.
PVA High Edge = 13522 PVA Low Edge = 13177 Prior POC = 13438

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
