S&P 500 (ES)
Prior Session was Cycle Day 1: Price declined attempting to force more long liquidation below Thursday’s low unsuccessfully, only trapping “late-comer” shorts. This set up the classic “Peek-a-Boo” PKB (a.k.a. Look Above/Below and Fail Reversal) setting up an end of day/week “short-squeeze” propelling price higher into the closing bell. Range for this session was 123 handles on 2.668M contracts exchanged.

…Transition from Cycle Day 1 to Cycle Day 2
Transition into Cycle Day 2: Three-Day Cycle Target (5947) was fulfilled during prior session on the closing rally.
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.”
The late day rip created a “single-print” imbalance on the profile. It will be critical to determine where accepted balance will be located during this session. Key Pivot resides much lower at 5925, so we’ll tentatively mark 5950 – 5940 plus/minus as possible pullback response levels, but let Mr. Market guide us as to accepted value.
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 5950+-, initially targets 5970 – 5975 zone.
Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 5940+-, initially targets 5925 – 5920 zone.
