S&P 500

Prior Session was Cycle Day 1 (CD1): Abhorrent Cycle Day 1 as price gapped higher and never looked back, rallying to close near the high of day. Prior range was 114 handles on 1.541M contracts exchanged. 

 …Transition from Cycle Day 1 to Cycle Day 2

This leads us into Cycle Day 2 (CD2): Bulls are squarely in-control, so we’ll be looking to start today’s RTH as a MATD (Morning/Market After Trend Day), which infers some consolidation. We will use 3925 – 3965 as the initial 2-way “buffer-zone”. Beyond this zone price can expand higher/lower. As such, estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.

Bull Scenario: Price sustains a bid above 3945, initially targets 3960 – 3965 zone. 

Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 3945, initially targets 3930 – 3925 zone. 

*****3 Day Cycle has a 91% probability of fulfilling Positive Cycle Statistics covering 12 years of recorded tracking history.

PVA High Edge = 3945      PVA Low Edge = 3885        Prior POC = 3935

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
