S&P 500 (ES)
Prior Session was Cycle Day 3: Positive 3-Day Cycle as price secured a rally above the CD1 Low (5923) which has an 89.92% historical performance track history.
Positive 3-Day Cycle Statistic is defined as Price Above the Cycle Day 1 Low on Cycle Day 3. P > CD1 on CD3.
It was a “grinder” of a trading day as volatility crush with narrow range, light volumes discouraged traders from actively participating. An orchestrated break of the Initial Balance Low (5950) forced longs to capitulate into the 5930 handle, before the Market Makers (M&M) ripped it right back higher into the closing bell.
Note: Some of the more “dangerous” trading days are like this one…Narrow range, low volume…Just ripe for the pickings for the M&M’s to just screw everyone over…just because they can…Trade Your Plan!
Range for this session was 66 handles on 1.060M contracts exchanged..

…Transition from Cycle Day 3 to Cycle Day 1
Transition into Cycle Day 1: Today begins a new cycle with the average decline projection measuring 5836.
The current three-week rally remains intact although with periods of swing declines to the lower boundary of the uptrend channel, providing savvy BTFD participants to cease the opportunity.
Shorts continue to struggle in the current up swing environment, as bulls are allowing them to push price lower only to “suck them in” and rip it back higher.
