S&P 500

Prior Session was Cycle Day 1 (CD1): Normal CD1 as price declined, established a new cycle low at 3591.25. Prior range was 142.50 handles on 2.651M contracts exchanged. 

 …Transition from Cycle Day 1 to Cycle Day 2

This leads us into Cycle Day 2 (CD2): Price is rallying off the deep CD1 Low (3591.25) to the top end of 5-day value (3645). Normal for CD2 is for some consolidation to balance the past few wide-swing sessions. Volatility is expected to remain elevated for the foreseeable future, so manage trade risk properly. As such, estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.

Bull Scenario: Price sustains a bid above 3625, initially targets 3650 – 3655 zone. 

Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 3625, initially targets 3600 – 3595 zone.

PVA High Edge = 3671       PVA Low Edge = 3591         Prior POC = 3604

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
