…Transition from Cycle Day 2 to Cycle Day 3
Transition into Cycle Day 3: Price is hovering near the CD1 Low (5743) as of the prior close. In order to secure a positive 3-Day Cycle, price will need to trade above this level during RTH Session.
Month End Rebalancing and US PCE will take center stage, which may have an important influence on today’s rhythms, so remain focused and manage position risk accordingly.
US PCE – Important FED Core Inflation Metric
Economists anticipate the following:
Headline PCE Price Index: A year-over-year increase of 2.5%, consistent with January’s rate.
Core PCE Price Index (excluding food and energy): A year-over-year rise to 2.7%, up from 2.6% in January.
These projections suggest that inflation remains above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target, potentially influencing future monetary policy decisions.
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 5745+-, initially targets 5760 – 5765 zone.
Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 5745+-, initially targets 5725 – 5720 zone.
