Crude through the roof

Brent (CO1:COM) touched nearly $140 a barrel on the news overnight, threatening to intensify inflationary pressures, while WTI crude (CL1:COM) soared 12% to $130/bbl for the first time since 2008.

S&P 500

Prior Session was Cycle Day 1 (CD1): Normal CD1 as it was “risk-off” Fryday. Prior range was 93 handles on 1.695M, contracts exchanged. 

 …Transition from Cycle Day 1 to Cycle Day 2

This leads us into Cycle Day 2 (CD2): Markets are beginning this week trading lower during GLOBEX Session surpassing CD2 Violation Zone, but has since recovered back above CD1 Low (4281.25) pre-RTH.  Volatility Index (VIX) is 34. Expectation is for continued wide swings as investor/trader uneasiness will dominate activity for the foreseeable future. As such, estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.

Bull Scenario: Price sustains a bid above 4282, initially targets 4305 – 4315 zone. 

Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 4282, initially targets 4260 – 4250 zone.

PVA High Edge = 4330       PVA Low Edge = 4298         Prior POC = 4325

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
