S&P 500

Prior Session was Cycle Day 1 (CD1):  Price oscillated throughout this session establishing a new Cycle Low at 3997.50. Prior range was 36 handles on 1.249M contracts exchanged. 

 …Transition from Cycle Day 1 to Cycle Day 2

This leads us into Cycle Day 2 (CD2): Normal for CD2 is back n fill consolidation to work off recent activity. Price is currently trading near prior CD1 Low (3997.50) and near midpoint  of 5-day value zone. Bears dominated majority of prior session, so there is spill-over potential for today’s session. As such, estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.

Bull Scenario: Price sustains a bid above 4000, initially targets 4025 – 4030 zone. 

Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 4000, initially targets 3975 – 3970 zone.

PVA High Edge = 4022       PVA Low Edge = 4005         Prior POC 4011

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
