S&P 500

Prior Session was Cycle Day 1 (CD1): Normal CD1 as price did produce a decline, as our Key Support  (4450) held on retest. This cycle’s rally then unfolded, closing in the upper quartile of the day. Prior range was 73 handles on 1.415M contracts exchanged. 

 …Transition from Cycle Day 1 to Cycle Day 2

This leads us into Cycle Day 2 (CD2): Normal for a Cycle Day 2 is for some ‘back n fill’ consolidation activity to balance previous volatile sessions. Price is currently trading near SPY (450) strike, so expectation is for two-way traffic with a bullish lean. As such, estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.

Bull Scenario: Price sustains a bid above 4490, initially targets 4515 – 4520 zone. 

Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 4490, initially targets 4480 – 4475 zone.

PVA High Edge = 4486       PVA Low Edge = 4450         Prior POC = 4472

Trade Strategy: Our tactical trade strategy will simply remain unaltered…We’ll be flexible to trade both long and short side from Decision Pivot Levels. 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!

Good Trading…David
