S&P 500
Prior Session was Cycle Day 3 (CD3): Selling straight from the opening set this day’s trading tone. Typically the trading day ends how it begins. Market on Close capped the day with $2.7 Sell Imbalance as registered by Mr Top Step’s Market Imbalance Meter (MiM). Range was 68 handles on 1.367M contracts exchanged.
…Transition from Cycle Day 3 to Cycle Day 1
This leads us into Cycle Day 1 (CD1): Today begins a new cycle, with the Average Decline measuring 4656, which is currently in-place. Overnight activity has price fulfilling CD1 Violation Level (4640.50) “To-the-Tick”, and has bounced back approximately 15 handles. We’ll be looking to see if price can stabilize and rally further, though retest of the current low (4640.50) would be normal. As such, estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.
1.) Price sustains a bid above 4650, initially targets 4665 – 4670 zone.
2.) Price sustains an offer below 4650, initially targets 4640 – 4635 zone.
*****3 Day Cycle has a 91% probability of fulfilling Positive Cycle Statistics covering 12 years of recorded tracking history.
