Prior Session was Cycle Day 2: “The Battle of 6765″
Battlefield Report
Overnight action dipped straight into the Line in the Sand — 6765, where the defending bulls immediately countered. That level, defined early in the DTS Briefing, became the tactical anchor for the entire session.
🖼️ Chief’s Morning Zone Map set the tone, while @Manny marked support triggers and RSI resets, eyeing a reclaim of 6780–6785 for continuation.
By midmorning, @PTGDavid’s A4 short probe quickly turned into a LIS reclaim long, aligning perfectly with MATD BTFD protocol.
🖼️ A4/A10 Trade Sequence Screenshot
Both A4 and A10 longs paid beautifully as the 6765 trench held. A textbook CD2 balance day unfolded — a classic “pause to refresh” after yesterday’s trend expansion.
Range was 30 handles on 1.246M contracts traded.

…Transition from Cycle Day 2 to Cycle Day 3
Transition into Cycle Day 3: Three-Day Cycle Target 6772.50 has been fulfilled, so with price above the CD1 Low (6694) the cycle statistic appears secured (91.61%)
Bulls continue to “OWN” this market for the time being, as the “trading weather” can change in an instant. So always have your fowl-weather gear handy.
We’ll mark today as a “wild-card” for direction as a brief consolidation following an uptrend can easily re-assert itself.
***side-note: The Metals Complex experiencing a sudden shock lower: Gold plunged for its biggest loss (-6.43%) in more than 12 years….Silver suffers -8.24% decline…Platinum suffers biggest decline in (-6.33%) 5.5 years.
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 6785+-, initially targets 6795 – 6800 zone.
Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 6765+-, initially targets 6755 – 6750 zone.
PVA High Edge = 6785 PVA Low Edge = 6670 Prior POC = 6780
