S&P 500 (ES)
Prior Session was Cycle Day 1: It was an incredible CD1 as ES declined fulfilling extreme target 5455.50, established as the new CD1 Low; At which time buyers aggressively swept all the remaining long sellers and trapped late-comer short sellers…Then the rally began.
The remainder of the session was “rally-mode” closing out the end of the month perfectly, fulfilling the 5612 Three-Day Cycle Target and closing on highs of the day. Range for this session was 170 handles on 1.712M contracts exchanged.

…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 with momentum on their side, as the remainder of the week is “jam-packed” with economic reports (NFP) and corporate earnings releases.
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 5620+-, initially targets 5650 – 5673 zone.
Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 5620+-, initially targets 5595 – 5580 zone.
