***Written Tuesday evening for Wednesday’s trading for contribution to MrTopStep’s “The Opening Print” publication.
Prior Session was Cycle Day 3 (CD3): Markets continued their balancing “logjam” trading mid-zone for majority of the session, until the final minutes, when price aggressively sold down to 4125, the lower quartile range edge. Prior range was 31 handles on 1.282M contracts exchanged.
…Transition from Cycle Day 3 to Cycle Day 1
This leads us into Cycle Day 1 (CD1): Battle for directional control continues with price “log-jammed”…Violation and conversion of 4125 opens trap door for lower price probes targeting CD1 Average Decline 4097. Failure to breakdown potentially keeps the price rangebound until there is a definitive and sustained directional lean. As such, scenarios to consider for today’s trading.
Bull Scenario: Price sustains a bid above 4137, initially targets 4150 – 4155 zone.
Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 4137, initially targets 4115 – 4110 zone.
PVA High Edge = 4142 PVA Low Edge = 4130 Prior POC = 4135
