…Transition from Cycle Day 1 to Cycle Day 2
Transition into Cycle Day 2: Price has gapped higher on GLOBEX opening fulfilling 5419 CD2 Statistical Extreme Level.
TTB – Trump Tape Bomb: Trump has said “that tariffs on China will come down and he won’t play hardball”
Bulls have regained full control of this cycle dynamic and it is theirs to lose. Typically for CD2 we would be anticipating MATD rhythms to balance the recent decline and rally rotations.
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 5325+-, initially targets 5385 – 5410 zone.
Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 5325+-, initially targets 5265 – 5250 zone.
