Prior Session was Cycle Day 1 (CD1): Long Liquidation hit the markets on Friday as “risk-off” sentiment accelerated selling throughout the session. Cycle low was established at 4381.25. Range was 102 handles on 2.787M, contracts exchanged.
…Transition from Cycle Day 1 to Cycle Day 2
This leads us into Cycle Day 2 (CD2): GLOBEX opening bid has faded as selling is spilling over into this session. Normal for CD2 would be to stabilize prior session’s selling-spree. Price is currently trading below CD1 Low (4381) fulfilling lower Violation Level (4362). Recovery back above CD1 Low is required to begin the stabilization process. As such, estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.
1.) Price sustains a bid above 4381, initially targets 4395 – 4400 zone.
2.) Price sustains an offer below 4381, initially targets 4362 – 4352 zone.
