10:30 EIA Petroleum Inventories

WTI crude rose more than 4% over the last 24 hours to retake $79/bbl after the Biden administration announced plans to release 50M barrels of oil from the U.S. Strategic Reserve, along with China, Japan, India, South Korea and the U.K. While the move was meant to lower prices, the volumes announced were much less than the market was expecting and would need to be sustained over a longer period of time. Many of the barrels will also need to be returned by the refiners who buy them, leaving traders forecasting tighter balances.

S&P 500

***Written 8 pm Tuesday evening for Wednesday’s trading for contribution to MrTopStep’s “The Opening Print” publication.

Tuesday’s Session was Cycle Day 1 (CD1): The decline which began on Cycle Day 3 spilled into this cycle day, exceeding average decline (4668), pushing to lower violation levels (4650). Range was 47 handles  on 1.833M contracts exchanged, twice the average volume.

 …Transition from Cycle Day 1 to Cycle Day 2

This leads us into Cycle Day 2 (CD2): Bullish Reversal from lower violation level (4650) has rallied price to the initial upside target (4695). Normal for Cycle Day 2 is for stabilization/consolidation of recent activity. Given pre-holiday trade unfolding, anything goes for this session as Friday is a half-day session.  As such, estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.

1.) Price sustains a bid above 4680, initially targets 4695 – 4700 zone. 

2.) Price sustains an offer below 4680, initially targets 4670 – 4665 zone.

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