…Transition from Cycle Day 1 to Cycle Day 2
Transition into Cycle Day 2: Price established a new cycle low @ 5206 during prior session and has initiated this cycle’s rally to close out the previous week in the upper quartile of the day’s range.
Today is CD2, bulls have a chance to continue to squelch the selling and stabilize price action as the shortened Holy Week begins. Remain steady in your trade selection and risk management.
Of course, nothing changes for PTG…Simply follow your plan. Take only Triple A setups and manage the $risk. ALWAYS HAVE HARD STOP-LOSSES in-place on the exchange.
PTG’s Primary Directive (PD) is to ALWAYS STAY IN ALIGNMENT with the DOMINANT FORCE.
As such, scenarios to consider for today’s trading.
Bull Scenario: Price sustains a bid above 5395+-, initially targets 5475 – 5490 zone.
Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 5395+-, initially targets 5300 – 5250 zone.
