…Transition from Cycle Day 1 to Cycle Day 2
Transition into Cycle Day 2: Part of this cycle’s rally is in-place, so we should be looking for some two-way consolidation to absorb the prior session’s “dip n rip.”
Given the nature of recent rangebound activity, we should not be surprised if price dips again for another test, or continue to rally to next targets.
