…Transition from Cycle Day 2 to Cycle Day 3
Transition into Cycle Day 3: Price will need to stay above the CD1 Low (5884) which will satisfy the Positive 3-Day Cycle Statistic, that has an 90.08% historical performance track record.
Having closed mid-range with an “inside” weekly range, we’ll continue to anticipate continuation of the recent trading rhythms for this cycle day.
Additional upside cycle targets remain open (5948…5975…5995) should the price decide to rally.
Break below the CD1 Low (5884) opens up trap-door to explore lower levels such as: 5865…5856…5850.
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 5915+-, initially targets 5930 – 5945 zone.
Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 5915+-, initially targets 5895 – 5885 zone.
PVA High Edge = 5923 PVA Low Edge = 5893 Prior POC = 5913
