S&P 500

Prior Session was Cycle Day 2 (CD2): Early price decline and balancing lead to strong rally post Fed release as price vaulted to yet another all-time-high on low-interest rate optimism for the foreseeable future. Prior range was 48.50 handles on explosive 1.659M contracts exchanged.

 …Transition from Cycle Day 2 to Cycle Day 3

This leads us into Cycle Day 3 (CD3): Price has relinquished all of the Fed Rally gains during overnight trade, as selling pressure has been dominant. Cycle objectives have been fulfilled, so the next decline can begin at any time, which appears to have already begun. As such, there are two estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.

1.) Price sustains a bid above 3933, initially targets 3943 – 3953 zone.

2.) Price sustains an offer below 3933, initially targets 3925 – 3918 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
