Prior Session was Cycle Day 2 (CD2): Shortened MLK holiday kept a lid on activity. Prior range was 17 handles on 110k contracts exchanged. 

 …Transition from Cycle Day 2 to Cycle Day 3

This leads us into Cycle Day 3 (CD3): Three-Day Cycle Rally is anticipated to be fulfilled with price trading above CD1 Low (3961.75). We’ll mark today as a “wild-card” for direction as price is currently trading sideways between 4000 – 4025. As such, estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.

Bull Scenario: Price sustains a bid above 3995, initially targets 4015 – 4020 zone. 

Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 3995, initially targets 3985 – 3980 zone.

PVA High Edge = 4020       PVA Low Edge = 4004         Prior POC = 4006

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
