Prior Session was Cycle Day 3: Price finished this cycle’s rally with a extended push to CD3 Penetration Levels where buyers ran out of gas. Majority of this session was aimless directional trade with few good solid trading opportunities. Mid afternoon sharp selloff found responsive buyers at the Line in the Sand (5125) and Volatility Trigger (VT) levels. Bullish reversal of the deep low closed price in more neutral zone. Range was 35 handles on 974k contracts exchanged.

 …Transition from Cycle Day 3 to Cycle Day 1 

This leads us into Cycle Day 1Average Decline for CD1 measures 5122 – 5120 zone (RECAP). Normal for Cycle Day 1 would be for a decline, although bulls still maintain overall dominance, so clearing and converting 5150 – 5155 zone opens the skylight to higher levels. BIG Event for this week is FOMC, so core anticipation is for rangebound rhythms ahead of the meeting/presser. 

As always, our tactical trade plan remains unchanged…Stay in alignment with dominant intra-day forces. As such, scenarios to consider for today’s trading.

Bull Scenario: Price sustains a bid above 5145, initially targets 5160 – 5165 zone. 

Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 5145, initially targets 5125 – 5120 zone.

PVA High Edge = 5150       PVA Low Edge = 5139         Prior POC = 5145

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!
