Prior Session was Cycle Day 3 (CD3): Prior week ended with sellers in control as options expiration and trader sentiment have shifted to “risk-off.” Shortened holiday session yesterday. Friday’s prior range was 40 handles on 1.939M contracts exchanged. 

 …Transition from Cycle Day 3 to Cycle Day 1

This leads us into Cycle Day 1 (CD1): Price weakness is spilling over into overnight activity as lower CD1 Violation Level (4050) has been fulfilled. Average Decline Range Projection measures 4033. As such, estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.

Bull Scenario: Price sustains a bid above 4050, initially targets 4065 – 4070 zone. 

Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 4050, initially targets 4035 – 4030 zone.

PVA High Edge = 4088       PVA Low Edge = 4068         Prior POC = 4076

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
