…Transition from Cycle Day 2 to Cycle Day 3
Transition into Cycle Day 3: Price is short of cycle targets with strong momentum potential to achieve during today’s session. So we will mark today as a “Wild-Card” for direction. Bulls & Bears are currently in two-day balance with a slight edge lean to the bullish camp.
As long as price is above 5480.25 during RTH, this will qualify as a positive 3-Day Cycle, which has a 89.38% historical successful track record.
Clearing and converting the 5550 – 5575 zone with a sustained bid will open the skylight to aim for the 5630 target.
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 5550+-, initially targets 5575 – 5610 zone.
Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 5550+-, initially targets 5525 – 5515 zone.
PVA High Edge = 5560 PVA Low Edge = 5515 Prior POC = 5550
