S&P 500 (ES)
Prior Session was Cycle Day 3: Positive 3-Day Cycle (91%) secured, although opening gap up failed to attract ample buying interest as DTS Briefing’s initial target zone between 5995 – 6000 having been fulfilled, converted to strong resistance. Multiple failed attempts by the bulls to push higher only created a “trapped-long” condition, which in the end was a “forced-liquidation” fire sale into the closing bell. Range for this session was 141 handles on 2.500M contracts exchanged.

…Transition from Cycle Day 3 to Cycle Day 1
Transition into Cycle Day 1: Price has already surpassed the historical max average decline (5905.75) during the previous sell-down. Further weakness may unfold, though since the targeted decline was exceeded, the next rally may begin at any time.
Risk Meter is pegged to Maximum, so given today is the final trading day of the month, extra caution is warranted.
Of course, nothing changes for PTG…Simply follow your plan. Take only Triple A setups and manage the $risk. ALWAYS HAVE HARD STOP-LOSSES in-place on the exchange.
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 5875+-, initially targets 5900 – 5910 zone.
Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 5875+-, initially targets 5855 – 5850 zone.
