Tuesday’s Session was Cycle Day 2 (CD2): Price fulfilled upside Cycle Targets (3115) early GLOBEX and continued to rally during RTH fulfilling 3138 Money Box Level.
…Transition from Cycle Day 2 to Cycle Day 3
This leads us into Cycle Day 3 (CD3): Having fulfilled Positive 3 Day Cycle Statistic Objectives, we then have Two Scenarios to consider.
1.) Price sustains a bid above 3112, targeting 3125 – 3135 zone.
2.) Price sustains an offer below 3112 targeting 3095 – 3090 zone.
*****3 Day Cycle has a 91% probability of fulfilling Positive Statistic covering 12 years of recorded tracking history.
PVA High Edge = 3140 PVA Low Edge = 3120 Prior POC = 3133

Nasdaq 100 (NQ)
Today is Cycle Day 3 (CD3)…Price has fulfilled Positive 3 Day Rally Statistic ans as such today is marked as a “wild-card” day, meaning directionally both sides could be “in-play”.

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!
