S&P 500 (ES)
Prior Session was Cycle Day 1: “Running of the Bulls”
Cycle Day 1 Script:
This session was a textbook Running of the Bulls — smooth, controlled, and unbothered by the occasional bear trap. From the overnight Continuation Long trigger @ ES 6780–6785, buyers accepted above and methodically marched toward successive targets: 6810 → 6815 → 6825 → 6830 — all achieved with mechanical precision.
Bulls defended the 6800 line multiple times, establishing a clear “no retreat” stance while bears failed to organize any meaningful counterattack. Even a brief LA&F setup @ 6820–6824 fizzled quickly, confirming the day’s character: relentless accumulation under calm control.
Battlefield Readout:
🟩 Bulls: Tactical precision, fortified above VWAP/POC support
🟥 Bears: Outgunned and disorganized — no meaningful counter-strike
⚔️ Zone of Engagement: 6800 pivot – defended and retaken multiple times
🎯 Target Fulfillment: Complete cycle range in one session
PTG Notes:
“Bulls can keep price elevated since there is no meaningful counter strike from Bears…”
“Running of the Bulls today into highs of the day…Cycle Target fulfilled.” — PTGDavidOutlook:
Follow-through overnight will tell whether this cycle kick-off extends into a sustained Cycle Day 2 Trend Continuation, or if the bulls need a pit stop after their full-range sprint. For now, momentum remains in their favor, with 6,800 acting as the new pivot line per SG’s bullish recalibration.

…Transition from Cycle Day 1 to Cycle Day 2
Transition into Cycle Day 2: Bulls will look to press their advantage and keep the momentum throttle wide open, forcing the Bears into a defensive shuffle.
With price already fulfilling the 3-Day Cycle Target (6856.42), any further upside is just icing on the cake—a sweet bonus for those positioned early.
As is typical for Cycle Day 2, the focus often pivots toward MATD rhythm development—think measured consolidation and choreographed rotations as both sides test each other’s resolve.
At this stage, both playbooks are on the table… which means intraday rotations could dominate the session as traders adjust to each other’s next moves.
Maintain flexibility for two-way rhythmic action — this is where tactical discipline outperforms directional bias.
Of course, nothing changes for PTG…Simply follow your plan. Take only Triple A setups and manage the $risk. ALWAYS HAVE HARD STOP-LOSSES in-place on the exchange.
PTG’s Primary Directive (PD) is to ALWAYS STAY IN ALIGNMENT with the DOMINANT FORCE.
As such, scenarios to consider for today’s trading.
Bull Scenario: Price sustains a bid above 6860+-, initially targets 6875 – 6885 zone.
Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 6860+-, initially targets 6845 – 6840 zone.
PVA High Edge = 6865 PVA Low Edge = 6815 Prior POC = 6858

Nasdaq (NQ)
Prior Session was Cycle Day 1: The NAZ delivered exactly as scripted — the Trader Vic Gap Rule (TVGR) fired right out of the RTH gate, and the bulls never looked back. Momentum was full throttle from open to close, with only the closing bell capable of reining in the charge.
By session’s end, the 3-Day Cycle Target (25691.70) was not only achieved but conquered on Day 1, hinting that we may be staring down the start of a Super Cycle — where normal statistics take a backseat to raw trend power.
…Transition from Cycle Day 1 to Cycle Day 2
Transition into Cycle Day 2: Typically, Cycle Day 2 ushers in a period of MATD consolidation rhythms, as the auction works off the excess left behind from the prior session’s momentum burst.
Early trade may continue to ride the coattails of Cycle Day 1’s trend extension, but don’t be surprised when two-way rotations begin to develop.
Both sides will likely take a brief time-out to catch their breath, reassessing positioning before the next decisive push.
