…Transition from Cycle Day 1 to Cycle Day 2
Transition into Cycle Day 2: Part of this cycle’s rally is in-place at 6094.50, with greater potential targeting 6122 – 6136 zone.
Odds of Rally > 10 = 88%…> 20 = 68%
CD2 Average Range = 83 handles
Normal for CD2 is balancing/consolidation with an upside bias. Traders have lots of data to absorb as this week was filled with Earnings Reports, FOMC and Trump Tariffs.
We look to Friday’s as “Gravy Day”, meaning that if you have had a solid trading week, then be sure to “lock-in” and more importantly “not-give-back” profitable gains. Volatility is on the increase with the risk of “whiplash” swings. So be prudent with your $risk management.
Nothing changes for PTG…Simply follow your plan.
PTG’s Primary Directive (PD) is to ALWAYS STAY IN ALIGNMENT with the DOMINANT FORCE.
