…Transition from Cycle Day 3 to Cycle Day 1
Transition into Cycle Day 3: The market closed near the high of the day, as traders brace for the all important CPI report @ 8:30 am.
We wrote in prior report:
“Couple key events that potentially favor a bullish resolution is the FOMC Minutes on Wednesday, followed by the all-important CPI print on Thursday. Given previous market responses, the trajectory clearly favors a bullish outcome, but as always we’ll defer to Mr. Market to be our guide.”
For today, the market’s reaction to the report is actually more important than the report itself. So without any predictions on market’s response (which is futile), we will follow our core plan to let Mr. Market be our guide.
Our discipline of maintaining positioning that is aligned with market forces continues to serve us well, so stay the course.
As such, scenarios to consider for today’s trading.
Bull Scenario: Price sustains a bid above 5830, initially targets 5855 – 5860 zone.
Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 5830, initially targets 5815 – 5795 zone.
PVA High Edge = 5846 PVA Low Edge = 5811 Prior POC = 5788
