Prior Session was Cycle Day 1 (CD1): Price established a new Cycle Low at 4898.50, as price continued to consolidated within 4905 – 4925 range edges outlined in previous DTS Briefings. Prior range was 35 handles on 1.273M contracts exchanged.

 …Transition from Cycle Day 1 to Cycle Day 2

This leads us into Cycle Day 2 (CD2): We’ll be looking for Mr. Market to break the current “log-jam” and decide on a directional lean.  As always, stay flexible and in-alignment with the primary intra-day forces. As such, scenarios to consider for today’s trading.

Bull Scenario: Price sustains a bid above 4905, initially targets 4925 – 4930 zone. 

Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 4905, initially targets 4890 – 4895 zone.

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
