Prior Session was Cycle Day 1: Cycle Low was established at 6535.50 and will be used to measure the performance of this cycle’s potential. Since the targets were reached late day yesterday, we only got a small decline today and then the late day rally continued.

…Transition from Cycle Day 1 to Cycle Day 2
Transition into Cycle Day 2: Normally for CD2 we are anticipating some consolidation MATD rhythms to begin the session.
Options Expiration is expected to dominate the session along with end-of-week position squaring.
The Bulls have been on a solid run for September, so a bit of profit-taking would certainly be understandable should it develop.
NO PREDICTIONS…ONLY PREPARATION.
CAPITAL PRESERVATION FRYday. Wrap it up!
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.
