S&P 500 (ES)
Prior Session was Cycle Day 3: Positive Three-Day Cycle as price rallied 156.24% (163.50 pts) of the 3D Average Rally (104.65 pts). Having successfully surpassed cycle objectives, we marked this session as a “wild-card” given the potential “snappy” effect of the Fed’s Presser.
As expected, price whiplashed between the upper target zone (6105 – 6115) HOD = 6111.25 and the Cycle Day 1 projected decline 6054.01 (LVA = 6055) with precision. Range for this session was 69 handles on 1.498M contracts exchanged.

…Transition from Cycle Day 3 to Cycle Day 1
Transition into Cycle Day 1: The CD1 Average Decline projection 6054 was fulfilled during the prior session as buyers stepped-in response to this attractive level.
Price settled at the 6075 High Volume Node (HVN) in a wide-range balancing session. The key for today and the coming sessions will be how the market absorbs and interprets the FED’s current stance on interest rates.
We’ll be anticipating early MATD rhythms with a possible retest of the CD1 Low (6054) before a sustained cycle rally unfolds.
Nothing changes for PTG…Simply follow your plan.
PTG’s Primary Directive (PD) is to ALWAYS STAY IN ALIGNMENT with the DOMINANT FORCE.
As such, scenarios to consider for today’s trading.
Bull Scenario: Price sustains a bid above 6075+-, initially targets 6095 – 6105 zone.
Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 6075+-, initially targets 6055 – 6045 zone.
