Prior Session was Cycle Day 1 (CD1): Normal CD1 unfolded for this Cycle Day establishing new low at 4200. Overall markets remain in an upswing condition despite the prior session’s decline. This establishes a new cycle low from which to stage a continuation rally targeting 4271. Prior range was 43 handles on 1.769M contracts exchanged.

…Transition from Cycle Day 1 to Cycle Day 2

This leads us into Cycle Day 2 (CD2): Normal for CD2 is consolidation to build a new upper range base from which to stage a continuation rally. Bulls need to keep responding to any selling attacks and absorb supply. As such, scenarios to consider for today’s trading.

Bull Scenario: Price sustains a bid above 4215, initially targets 4235 – 4240 zone.

Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 4195, initially targets 4180 – 4175 zone.

PVA High Edge = 4225 PVA Low Edge = 4208 Prior POC = 4215

***Written Tuesday evening for Wednesday’s trading for contribution to MrTopStep’s “The Opening Print” publication.

Prior Session was Cycle Day 2 (CD2): Markets were once again held hostage to the news flow out of DC regarding the Debt Limit negotiations. Traders got impatient and decided to take the sell-side, pushing price below CD1 Low, all the way down to 4150 handle,. This now places price back within the lower multi-day composite range. Prior range was 69 handles on 1.618M contracts exchanged.

…Transition from Cycle Day 2 to Cycle Day 3

This leads us into Cycle Day 3 (CD3): Price is now well below the CD1 Low (4186) and threatens a “failed” 3 Day Cycle. Bulls have a substantial hill to climb to recover this level. Of course anything and everything can happen, so we’ll maintain our discipline to stay in alignment with the dominant forces. As such, scenarios to consider for today’s trading.

Bull Scenario: Price sustains a bid above 4170, initially targets 4185 – 4190 zone.

Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 4170, initially targets 4145 – 4140 zone.

PVA High Edge = 4205 PVA Low Edge = 4165 Prior POC = 4195
