S&P 500

Prior Session was Cycle Day 1 (CD1): Market selloff accelerated pushing down to key SPX 4000 level, albeit in an “orderly” fashion, without any panic moves…Just persistent selling by the mutual funds. Prior range was 129 handles on 2.061M contracts exchanged. 

 …Transition from Cycle Day 1 to Cycle Day 2

This leads us into Cycle Day 2 (CD2): Normal is for some ‘back n fill’ consolidation activity to balance previous session with CD1 Low marked at 3970.  Overnight trade successfully tested CD1 as support, rallying up to mid-morning high pivot (4035), Potential for a “Turn Around Tuesday” shaping up should the selling decelerate. As such, estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.

Bull Scenario: Price sustains a bid above 4020, initially targets 4045 – 4055 zone. 

Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 4020, initially targets 4000 – 3980 zone.

PVA High Edge = 4055       PVA Low Edge = 3997         Prior POC = 4017

HOD  ATR Range Projection: 4093; LOD ATR Range Projection: 3902; 3 Day Central Pivot: 4104; 3 Day Cycle Target: 4007; 10 Day Average True Range  132; VIX: 34

Nasdaq 100 (NQ)

Today is Cycle Day 2 (CD2)…Today we’ll be looking for a CD2 “normal” for price to stabilize prior session selling. CD1 low is marked at 12135. Prior range was 502 handles on 799k contracts traded.  As such, there are two estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.

Bull Scenario: IF Bulls sustain a bid above 12290, THEN initial upside estimate targets 12390 – 12435 zone.

Bear Scenario: IF Bears sustain an offer below 12290, THEN initial downside estimate targets 12195 – 12135 zone.

PVA High Edge = 12233       PVA Low Edge = 12195     Prior POC = 12290

Range Projections and Key Levels (NQ) June 2022 (M) Contract

HOD  ATR Range Projection: 12641; LOD ATR Range Projection: 11879; 3 Day Central Pivot: 12693; 3 Day Cycle Target: 12551; 10 Day Average True Range: 539; VIX: 34

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
