…Transition from Cycle Day 1 to Cycle Day 2
Transition into Cycle Day 2: Having closed near low of day, momentum may spill-over into this day before the next rally begins.
Price is currently near the key 6063 prior weekly High Volume Node (HVN). (screenshot) We’ll be monitoring whether or not this area is “accepted” (building volume) or “rejected” (repelling volume).
This week is also the final CPI reading for the year as traders are discounting 85% chance of a 25 bps rate cut for the December.18th FED Meeting. Current target rate is 4.50 % – 4.75%
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 6060, initially targets 6075 – 6080 zone.
Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 6060, initially targets 6045 – 6040 zone.
PVA High Edge = 6081 PVA Low Edge = 6060 Prior POC = 6074
