S&P 500
Prior Session was Cycle Day 2 (CD2): Once again early strength could not hold as price reversed downward, as a Bi-Modal high volatile range day unfolded. Range was 158 handles on 2.232M contracts exchanged.
…Transition from Cycle Day 2 to Cycle Day 3
This leads us into Cycle Day 3 (CD3): Selling continues to dominant the trading landscape as price is currently trading on its lows pre-RTH. Bulls will need to recover CD1 Low (4292.25) during RTH to secure a positive cycle. As such, estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.
1.) Price sustains a bid above 4275, initially targets 4294 – 4305 zone.
2.) Price sustains an offer below 4275, initially targets 4248 – 4239 zone.

Today is Cycle Day 3 (CD3)…Price is currently trading on lows pre-RTH as “risk-off” remains the dominant theme at week-end. Bulls need to recover CD1 Low (13945.50) to avert a failed cycle. Prior range was 565 handles on 859k contracts exchanged. As such, there are two estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.
Bull Scenario: IF Bulls sustain a bid above 13844, THEN initial upside estimate targets 13920 – 13945 zone.
Bear Scenario: IF Bears sustain an offer below 13844, THEN initial downside estimate targets 13798 – 13769 zone.

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
