S&P 500
Tuesday’s Session was Cycle Day 2 (CD2): Early attempts to breakout above 2940 handle failed as increased selling pressure trapped buyers. Violation of prior key support 2895 attracted additional selling as the gauntlet was thrown down with long liquidation pressing price to session lows by the closing bell.
…Transition from Cycle Day 2 to Cycle Day 3
This leads us into Cycle Day 3 (CD3): Having closed near low of session we then have Two Scenarios to consider.
1.) Price continues lower targeting 2825 CD3 Violation Level (FULFILLED DURING GLOBEX) which matches with May 6st Pivot Low. Failure to hold this level opens trap door to lower 2797.
2.) Price finds supportive bid preferably above Prior Low (2838) as bulls work to recover lost Cycle Day 1 Low (2889.75) before end of session, otherwise this Cycle will be marked as “failed”. (9% probability)
*****3 Day Cycle has a 91% probability of fulfilling Positive Statistic covering 12 years of recorded tracking history.
PVA High Edge = 2931 PVA Low Edge = 2900 Prior POC = 2920
Bull Scenario: IF Bulls hold bid above 2865, THEN initial upside estimate targets 2875 – 2880 zone.
Bear Scenario: IF Bears hold offer below 2865, THEN initial downside estimate targets 2850 – 2845 zone.
