Prior Session was Cycle Day 2 (CD2): Another roller coaster ride as price rallied in the AM Session, only to reverse direction in the PM Session, yet again to rally into the closing weekly bell. I refer to this day type as “Range-Runner.” Options Expiry was indeed an influence on trade activity. Range was 51 handles on 1.470M contracts exchanged.
…Transition from Cycle Day 2 to Cycle Day 3
This leads us into Cycle Day 3 (CD3): Cycle Targets have been fulfilled, so today we’ll mark as a “wild-card.” Control appears to be evenly matched between Bulls and Bears as price continues to oscillate in a wide range between 3900 – 4000. As such, estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.
Bull Scenario: Price sustains bid above 3955, initially targets 3970 – 3975 zone.
Bear Scenario: Price sustains offer below 3955, initially targets 3940 – 3935 zone.
PVA High Edge = 3975 PVA Low Edge = 3952 Prior POC = 3957

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
