S&P 500

Prior Session was Cycle Day 1 (CD1): Morning Session buyers could not hold bid as FED Day selling dominated throughout the Afternoon Session. CD1 Low was established at 4294.25. Prior range was 152 handles on 2.362M, contracts exchanged. 

 …Transition from Cycle Day 1 to Cycle Day 2

This leads us into Cycle Day 2 (CD2): Overnight follow-through selling has reversed direction and price is in “rally-mode” currently trading near 4350 handle. Broader 200 handle trading range is developing between 4420 – 4220. Volatility remains elevated as intra-day swings are being magnified as Average True Range (10) is 115 handles. As such, estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.

1.) Price sustains a bid above 4367, initially targets 4384 – 4406 zone. 

2.) Price sustains an offer below 4367, initially targets 4345 – 4335 zone.

PVA High Edge = 4446       PVA Low Edge = 4358         Prior POC = 4413

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
