Prior Session was Cycle Day 1 (CD1): Normal decline unfolded as price found a secure low early, followed by rally closing firm in upper half of session’s range.
…Transition from Cycle Day 1 to Cycle Day 2
This leads us into Cycle Day 2 (CD2): Having rallied and closing firm within the range, we have two scenarios: 1.) Continuation of rally targeting PH (2937) and IF cleared further targeting 2947 – 2957 zone. 2.) Price Violation of Prior POC 2912 Targeting 2909 – 2902 zone.
P – VA High = 2915 P – VA Low = 2902 P – POC = 2909
Bull Scenario: IF Bulls hold bid above 2927, THEN initial upside estimate targets 2937 – 2947 zone
Bear Scenario: IF Bears hold offer below 2927, THEN initial downside estimate targets 2915 – 2905 zone.
