S&P 500
Prior Session was Cycle Day 2 (CD2): Normal consolidation as expected for this cycle day. Range was 38 handles on 1.681M contracts exchanged.
…Transition from Cycle Day 2 to Cycle Day 3
This leads us into Cycle Day 3 (CD3): Bearish momentum remains in-place as potential increase for a “failed” 3-day cycle, should price stay below CD1 Low (3821.75). Next “big-event” (today) will be the quarterly rebalance. In addition, the $3600 JPM short put strike (3620) and options expiration removes large put positions, which may expose the market to further downside in July, per the “Gamma Guys” Suffice it to say: downside lean ahead of the long July 4th holiday is the Path of Least Resistance (POLR). As such, estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.
Bull Scenario: Price sustains bid above 3800, initially targets 3820 – 3825 zone.
Bear Scenario: Price sustains offer below 3800, initially targets 3765 – 3760 zone.
PVA High Edge = 3832 PVA Low Edge = 3815 Prior POC = 3820

Nasdaq 100 (NQ)
Today is Cycle Day 3 (CD3)…Price has violated CD1 Low (11661) during overnight trade fulfilling initial lower violation target (11480) increasing potential for “failed” 3-day cycle. End of month and quarter relabance ahead of long July 4th holiday weekend should keep volatility elevated. As such, there are two estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.
Bull Scenario: IF Bulls sustains bid above 11565, THEN initial upside estimate targets 11620 – 11640 zone.
Bear Scenario: IF Bears sustains offer below 11565, THEN initial downside estimate targets 11480 – 11460 zone.
