Prior Session was Cycle Day 1 (CD1): Markets did produce a decline, albeit shallow on establishing new Cycle Low at 4052.50. Shallow declines mean bullish underlying price strength and is a strong signal to be a bit more assertive with trade trend alignment. Prior range was 35 handles on 1.279M contracts exchanged.

This leads us into Cycle Day 2 (CD2): Price came within three-ticks of the JPM Collar Price Target (4095) during overnight trade which we have been discussing this week, leading up to EOM/EOQ expiration. We’ll anticipate a Normal CD2, though with month/quarter close, anything/everything is potential. As such, estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.
Bull Scenario: Price sustains a bid above 4080, initially targets 4095 – 4105 zone.
Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 4080, initially targets 4065 – 4060 zone.
