S&P 500

Prior Session was Cycle Day 3 (CD3): Morning Session sell-down in price to support offered an opportunity to “BTFD” as Mutual Fund Monday played out in classic fashion. Also classic was the ‘Dip n Rip’ into the closing rotation. This scenario was “tee’d-up” for Community Members in the PTG Live Trade Room. View the PTG Trading Room Chat Log 03.15.21 for more detail how we played the Closing Long beginning at the 3:15:52 time marker. Range was 47.25 handles on 1.049M contracts exchanged.

 …Transition from Cycle Day 3 to Cycle Day 1

This leads us into Cycle Day 1 (CD1): Normal for CD1 is for a decline with average measuring 3903. Price closed with strong outgoing bullish momentum, which may carry-over into today’s session before the next decline begins. As such, there are two estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.

1.) Price sustains a bid above 3960, initially targets 3973 – 3978 zone.

2.) Price sustains an offer below 3960, initially targets 3945 – 3940 zone.

*****3 Day Cycle has a 91% probability of fulfilling Positive Statistic covering 12 years of recorded tracking history.

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
