S&P 500 (ES)
Prior Session was Cycle Day 3: True gap lower for this cycle day provided steadfast (read: stubborn) traders a fantastic BTFD opportunity. Rather than panicking on the tariff news, savvy traders took advantage of the weakness, scooping up perceived bargains.
Trump Tariff Tape Bombs filled this session as BOTH Canada & Mexico bent their respective knees to Trump’s demand to secure their borders. This provided a “consolidative-bid” throughout the session, with a gap fill recovery of the Cycle Day 1 Lows, securing a Positive Three-Day Cycle, which has a 91% historical accuracy track-record. Range for this session was 113 handles on 2.021M contracts exchanged.

…Transition from Cycle Day 3 to Cycle Day 1
Transition into Cycle Day 1: The Average Decline Standard Deviation Extreme (5939) was fulfilled during the prior session’s true gap down.
Price did secure a positive 3-day cycle statistic by reclaiming the 6056.50 handle.
Given the heightened volatility and wide range, today’s rhythm is anticipated to be MATD as the market is still on an emotional rollercoaster ride.
As such seeking accepted value balance between bull and bears will be the probative rhythms until a sustained directional pathway is created.
