S&P 500

Prior Session was Cycle Day 3: Market did produce a Positive 3-Day Rally for the 24-hour session, however failed for the RTH session. Price would need to recover the 5218 level to negate the day session failure. This session was dominated by Triple-Witch OPEX with over $2.7T options expired. Range was 63 handles on 1.749M contracts exchanged.

 …Transition from Cycle Day 3 to Cycle Day 1

This leads us into Cycle Day 1: Average Decline for CD1 measures 5179 and is already in-place from prior session selling. This week’s Main Event is the FOMC on Wednesday, so expectation for relative benign trading in-advance of the meeting and presser. We’ll mark 5190/ 5175 as today’s Line in the Sand (LIS) 

As always, our tactical trade plan remains unchanged…Stay in alignment with dominant intra-day forces.

Scenarios to consider for today’s trading.

Bull Scenario: Price sustains a bid above 5190, initially targets 5205 – 5210 zone. 

Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 5175, initially targets 5160 – 5155 zone.

PVA High Edge = 5188       PVA Low Edge = 5176         Prior POC = 5183
