S&P 500

Today is Cycle Day 3 (CD3)…Price continues weak during overnight session fulfilling CD3 Violation Level (2611.25). Bulls will need to defend this low to prevent further deterioration. Perhaps they should add the “flee-flicker” lateral pass, like the Miami Dolphins did to the Patriots, to regain the advantage from the Bears. (Not Chicago Bears!)

CD3 Range High = 2655          CD3 Range Low = 2609.50          CD3 Range Avg = 44.50 

Scenario 1: IF price holds bid above CD1 Low (2621.25), THEN upside initially targets 2633.50, followed by 2646.50.

Scenario 2: IF price holds offer below CD1 Low (2621.25), THEN downside targets retest of ONL (2610.25), followed by 2603.00.
