…Transition from Cycle Day 1 to Cycle Day 2

Transition into Cycle Day 2: Traders return following holiday with markets near swing highs and at a key decision point.

Potential for price to decline and retest CD1 Low (6131) would be our anticipated lean for this cycle day.

Of course, nothing changes for PTG…Simply follow your plan. Take only Triple A setups and manage the $risk. ALWAYS HAVE HARD STOP-LOSSES in-place on the exchange.

 

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 6140+-, initially targets 6150 – 6155 zone. 

Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 6140+-, initially targets 6130 – 6125 zone.
