S&P 500 (ES)
Prior Session was Cycle Day 2: “Train Kept A Rollin’”
Prior Session:
Cycle Day 1 fired on all cylinders as bulls capitalized on structured continuation. Momentum carried through the overnight, setting up a textbook Cycle Day 2 rhythm — the measured, two-way battlefield where tactical rotations define the day.
Session Overview:
From the open, ES played the Cycle Day 2 script to perfection — a pullback toward the 6840 target zone, establishing lower support before the intraday rhythm kicked in. Early rotations were choppy, deliberate, and very much in line with the MATD consolidation phase — think chess match, not checkers.
As expected, two-way tactical skirmishes dominated the morning, with Manny’s LB&F setups firing beautifully around the 6834–6838 and 6848–6852 levels. Each reclaim zone served as a micro-trap for impatient shorts, fueling the next leg higher.
By mid-session, the Initial Balance (6831–6852) boxed the field. Price churned inside this “sandbox” while disciplined operators worked their playbooks — volume-weighted edges, delta confirmation, and tactical patience. Then came the moment of truth: a breakout reclaim of 6865.75 (prior high) lit the fuse on the bulls’ afternoon offensive.
The 6875–6885 target zone from the Daily Trade Strategy briefing was hit with surgical precision, validating the “bull scenario” and prompting David’s signature callout:
“Price sustains a bid above 6860+—train kept a rollin’…” 🎸
Cue Aerosmith.
After that — siesta time. Afternoon rotations faded into low-volume drift as traders booked gains and bulls fortified control. The train never derailed; it just coasted elegantly into the close.
Range was 49 handles on 1.302M contracts traded.

…Transition from Cycle Day 2 to Cycle Day 3
Transition into Cycle Day 3: The Three-Day Cycle Statistic (91.88%) remains unbroken as price cleanly fulfilled the 6856.42 objective on CD1 and reaffirmed it during CD2 — textbook execution.
Bulls closed the prior session perched near the highs, demonstrating persistent momentum and flawless defense of key structural levels.
Having met the Cycle objectives, today’s session earns “wild-card” status — capable of either continuing the current rally or staging a tactical pullback to reload the troops for another coordinated advance higher.
Stay Flexible to either scenario.
