S&P 500

Prior Session was Cycle Day 2 (CD2): Normal CD2 as price oscillated above our stated Line-in-the Sand (3975) upwards to 4025, fulfilling 3 Day Cycle Target (4023). Prior range was 51 handles on 1.583M contracts exchanged. 

 …Transition from Cycle Day 2 to Cycle Day 3

This leads us into Cycle Day 3 (CD3): Three-Day Cycle Target (4023) was fulfilled during prior session. Price is currently mid-range oscillating around 3-Day Central Pivot (3995). We will mark this level as today’s Line-in-the-Sand (LIS) as well as mark today as a “wild-card” for direction. As long as price opens above CD1 Low (3947.50) the cycle will be complete. As such, estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.

Bull Scenario: Price sustains a bid above 3995, initially targets 4005 – 4010 zone. 

Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 3995, initially targets 3975 – 3970 zone.

PVA High Edge = 4010       PVA Low Edge = 3988         Prior POC = 4004

HOD  ATR Range Projection: 4035; LOD ATR Range Projection: 3940; 3 Day Central Pivot: 3995; 3 Day Cycle Target: 4023; 10 Day Average True Range  63; VIX: 20

Nasdaq 100 (NQ)

Today is Cycle Day 3 (CD3)…Three-Day Cycle Statistic will be fulfilled as long as price trades above CD1 Low (11923) during RTH session. Price is currently mid-range oscillating around 3-Day Central Pivot (12100). We will mark this level as today’s Line-in-the-Sand (LIS) as well as mark today as a “wild-card” for direction. As such, estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.    

Bull Scenario: IF Bulls sustains bid above 12100, THEN initial upside estimate targets 12150– 12170 zone.

Bear Scenario: IF Bears sustains offer below 12100, THEN initial downside estimate targets 12045 – 12025 zone.

PVA High Edge = 12133       PVA Low Edge = 12073     Prior POC = 12092

Range Projections and Key Levels (NQ) March 2022 (H) Contract

HOD  ATR Range Projection: 12287; LOD ATR Range Projection: 11888; 3 Day Central Pivot: 12100; 3 Day Cycle Target: 12155; 10 Day Average True Range: 257; VIX: 20

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
