S&P 500

Prior Session was Cycle Day 2 (CD2): Risk-Off was this cycle day’s theme, as “real money” sellers hit the tape throughout the session, capping the day with $3.5B MOC Sell Imbalance. Range was 108 handles on 1.576M contracts exchanged. 

 …Transition from Cycle Day 2 to Cycle Day 3

This leads us into Cycle Day 3 (CD3): Price is currently trading below CD1 Low (4422.75) pre-RTH. Odds typically favor recovering back above during today’s session. Options Expiration is expected to be an influence throughout today’s activity. As such, estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.

1.) Price sustains a bid above 4400, initially targets 4415 – 4423 zone. 

2.) Price sustains an offer below 4400, initially targets 4385 – 4380 zone.

Today is Cycle Day 3 (CD3)…Price is currently trading below CD1 Low (14381) during overnight activity. Odds favor recovery during this session.

As such, there are two estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.

Bull Scenario: IF Bulls sustain a bid above 14255, THEN initial upside estimate targets 14300 – 14350 zone.

Bear Scenario: IF Bears sustain an offer below 14255, THEN initial downside estimate targets 14225 – 14200 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
