S&P 500

Prior Session was Cycle Day 3 (CD3): Markets closed out April in spectacular fashion by rallying to close on highs. Prior range was 62 handles on 1.687M contracts exchanged. 

 …Transition from Cycle Day 3 to Cycle Day 1

This leads us into Cycle Day 1 (CD1): Average Decline for CD1 measures 4160. There is room for the rally to continue, though we are anticipating more of a MATD given the strong directional rally to close out last month. It is also Mutual Fund Monday (MFM), whereby new monies are put to work. Of course anything and everything is possible, hence just follow the core PTG Trade Plan.  As such, estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.

Bull Scenario: Price sustains a bid above 4190, initially targets 4205 – 4210 zone. 

Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 4190, initially targets 4175 – 4170 zone.

PVA High Edge = 4192       PVA Low Edge = 4165         Prior POC 4180

Of course anything and everything is possible, hence just follow the core PTG Trade Plan.  As such, estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.

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
