Today’s Hypotheses: December (Z) Contract
*****The levels outlined below are more general framework within a larger range…They are to be used are reference prices from which to consider trade opportunities, not hard trade levels.
Scenario 1: IF price clears and converts PH (2094.50), THEN upside targets 2098.00 – 2102.50 Zone.
Scenario 2: Failure to convert PH (2094.50) and subsequent violation and conversion of 2083.00 SPOT targets 2075.25. Conversion of this level opens door to retest 2073.50 down to 2071.00 SPOT. CD3 Average Violation Level is 2064.00.
Trade Strategy: Our tactical trade strategy will simply remain unaltered…We’ll be flexible to trade both long and short side from Decision Pivot Levels. Continue to focus on Bull/Bear Stackers and Premium/Discounts. As always, remaining in alignment with dominant intra-day force increases probabilities of producing winning trades.
Stay Focused…Non-Biased…Disciplined ALWAYS USE STOPS!
