Prior Session was Cycle Day 2 (CD2): Early buying fell apart as lower range parameters were violated, triggering long liquidation selling, which drove price down over 92 handles. There was no place to hide for the bulls as “bricks on ticks” accelerated throughout the session.
One of the core advantages of being in the PTG active trading community is the guidance from yours truly to #1) keep you out of harms way and #2) guide you to profitable trade opportunities. Here is example from yesterday’s session: “ :(11:08:28 AM) : Shift of course now is for sells on retracements.” Prior range was 92 handles on 1.776M contracts exchanged.
…Transition from Cycle Day 2 to Cycle Day 3
This leads us into Cycle Day 3 (CD3): Price is currently below CD1 Low (4121.25) as selling continues to spill-over during overnight activity. Bulls will need to recover the CD1 Low to avert a failed cycle. As such, estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.
Bull Scenario: Price sustains a bid above 4075, initially targets 4095 – 4100 zone.
Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 4075, initially targets 4050 – 4045 zone.
