…Transition from Cycle Day 3 to Cycle Day 1
Transition into Cycle Day 1: Today begins a new cycle with the average decline measuring 5835.50. Price closed near the low of the session and at a critical Gamma Level (5886). Today is Options Expirations which will be influential for this session’s rhythms.
Bulls will be looking to maintain bid above 5885 and build on this to reclaim 5910 – 5915 zone.
Bears need to orchestrate another “bear-raid” below the 5885 to push the prior low 5771 and force long liquidation. Between these levels price can continue consolidating, building energy for the next directional move.
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 5885, initially targets 5910 – 5915 zone.
Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 5885, initially targets 5870 – 5865 zone.
PVA High Edge = 5906 PVA Low Edge = 5886 Prior POC = 5888
