S&P 500

Prior Session was Cycle Day 2 (CD2):  This index continued its upward trek to new all-time highs capping a strong prior trading week. Range was 42 handles on 1.244M contracts exchanged. 

 …Transition from Cycle Day 2 to Cycle Day 3

This leads us into Cycle Day 3 (CD3):  Buyers remained active during overnight activity above prior high (4603.50)  fulfilling CD3 Penetration Level (4614) during overnight activity. Momentum is in the bullish camp, so it is theirs to lose. Until there is a shift, our plan remains unaltered…Stay in alignment with the dominant force on pullbacks to key Decision Point Zones (DPZ). As such, estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.

1.) Price sustains a bid above 4603, initially targets 4614 – 4621 zone. 

2.) Price sustains an offer below 4603, initially targets 4590 – 4588 zone.

*****3 Day Cycle has a 91% probability of fulfilling Positive Cycle Statistics covering 12 years of recorded tracking history.

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!
