Transition from Cycle Day 2 to Cycle Day 3

Transition into Cycle Day 3: Price closed above 3D Cycle Targets, therefore we will mark today as a “wild-card.”

Overall trend continues to favor “selling the rallies”, so given the prior day rally, bulls will need to have a “follow-through” to prove this was something more than a end-of-week short cover rally.

Today is St. Patrick’s Day, maybe the “Luck of the Irish” will favor the bulls. PTG prefers to rely on cold-hard numbers versus “luck!” But a “wee-bit-of luck” doesn’t hurt.

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 5680+-, initially targets 5695 – 5700 zone. 

Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 5680+-, initially targets 5660 – 5655 zone.

PVA High Edge = 5648    PVA Low Edge = 5590         Prior POC = 5632
