Prior Session was Cycle Day 3 (CD3): As opined in prior DTS Briefing 4.25.22 traders were looking for stabilization following prior week’s sell-down. Stabilization did occur, but unfortunately it was a “failed” 3-Day Cycle, not having been able to recover prior CD1 Low (4380). Prior range was 101 handles on 2.225M contracts exchanged.
…Transition from Cycle Day 3 to Cycle Day 1
This leads us into Cycle Day 1 (CD1): Today begins a new cycle, with the Average Decline measuring 4198 which was fulfilled during prior session. Prior session’s afternoon rally has fulfilled initial upside objective (4300 – 4305) zone.

Traders will be continuing to explore where the new balance acceptance zone is preferred.
