S&P 500 (ES)
Prior Session was Cycle Day 2: Second consecutive negative week keeps “da bears” in short-term control as price works off this pullback. Three-Day Cycle is also experiencing failed reclaims during this correction. Historical cycle statistics favor long plays, so during this correction-phase, taking profits of LONG CALL positions more aggressively continues to be prudent management.
Once the markets are back in “up-trend mode”, then holding LONG CALL position to targets becomes the play. Consistency is the theme for 2025, so that means maintaining discipline to your trade strategy even during the drawdown periods. Range for this session was 114 handles on 2.00M contracts exchanged.

…Transition from Cycle Day 2 to Cycle Day 3
Transition into Cycle Day 3: Price is below the CD1 Low (5929.25) with historical odds (92%) favoring recovery during CD3.
Odds of 3D Rally > 10 88%; > 20 68%; < 0 8%
BIG week on the economic calendar as the latest PPI & CPI reports are released. Markets reaction to the NFP was negative as the markets begin a “full week” of trading.
As stated, “da bears” have short-term control, although we know market sentiment can shift like the wind. Bulls love to draw the shorts in just to orchestrate a “face-ripping” squeeze!
PTG does not make predictions…We only expect Mr. Market to offer an endless stream of opportunities to implement our trade strategies.
Nothing changes for PTG…Simply follow your plan.
PTG’s Primary Directive (PD) is to ALWAYS STAY IN ALIGNMENT with the DOMINANT FORCE.
As such, scenarios to consider for today’s trading.
Bull Scenario: Price sustains a bid above 5865+-, initially targets 5885 – 5890 zone.
Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 5865+-, initially targets 5845 – 5840 zone.
PVA High Edge = 5895 PVA Low Edge = 5855 Prior POC = 5865
