Transition from Cycle Day 2 to Cycle Day 3

Transition into Cycle Day 3: Markets open the final two trading sessions below the CD1 Low (6063.25) with historical odds (92%) of reclaiming during CD3.

Volumes will be greatly reduced as many “decision-makers’ will be enjoying the holiday break. Nothing changes for us…Simply follow your plan.
