*****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 continues to hold above 1913.50, THEN initial upside target measure 1927.00…Above this level measure 1932.50.
Scenario 2: Today is CD1 and as such the normal spill is down…Initial resistance is marked at 1927.00 CP…IF price breaks down through 1913.50 THEN lower targets are 1908.00 – 1905.00. Below this zone measures 1900.50 Cycle Range Decline Target.
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!
Good Trading…David
