…Transition from Cycle Day 1 to Cycle Day 2
Transition into Cycle Day 2: Typically for CD2 we would be anticipating MATD trading range rhythms with a bullish lean to balance the recent decline and rally rotations.
Bulls have ball control as this week is another “jam-packed” with corporate earnings releases. Money Managers and Traders main focus on results.
Barring any TTB’s we should anticipate relatively normal rhythms.
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 5550+-, initially targets 5575 – 5585 zone.
Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 5550+-, initially targets 5525 – 5515 zone.
PVA High Edge = 5552 PVA Low Edge = 5508 Prior POC = 5547
