Prior Session was Cycle Day 2 (CD2): Normal CD2 consolidation/balance unfolded throughout the session. Range was 101 handles on 2.027M contracts exchanged. Market on Close Buy Imbalance of $2.7 billion capped the day.

 …Transition from Cycle Day 2 to Cycle Day 3

This leads us into Cycle Day 3 (CD3): Late day closing buy program has spilled into follow-through buying overnight, as price has recovered Cycle Day 1 Low (4590). *****The 3 Day Cycle has a 91% probability of fulfilling Positive Cycle Statistics covering 12 years of recorded tracking history. Cycle Statistics have been fulfilled, so we’ll mark today as a “wild-card” with bulls regaining ball control. As such, estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.

1.) Price sustains a bid above 4590, initially targets 4605 – 4615 zone. 

2.) Price sustains an offer below 4590, initially targets 4580 – 4575 zone.

Trade Strategy: Our tactical trade strategy will simply remain unaltered…We’ll be flexible to trade both long and short side from Decision Pivot Levels. Continue to focus on Bull/Bear Stackers and Premium/Discounts. As always, remaining in alignment with dominant intra-day force increases probabilities of producing winning trades.

Stay Focused…Non-Biased…Disciplined  ALWAYS USE STOPS!

Good Trading…David
