S&P 500 (ES)
Prior Session was Cycle Day 2: Textbook CD2 as price held firm within a 25 handle range between 5974 – 5999. It was basically a “stalemate” as neither bulls or bears could gain any directional traction.
End of the Day Market on Close (MOC) leaned to $1B sell-side, as traders book squaring closed price near session low.
Context remains unchanged given today’s pause…Consolidation above Tuesday’s upper distribution between 5965 – 5995.
Range was 25 handles on 1.046M contracts exchanged.

…Transition from Cycle Day 2 to Cycle Day 3
Transition into Cycle Day 3: Price is safely above the CD1 Low (5909.25) which will satisfy the Positive 3-Day Cycle Statistic, that has an 90.16% historical performance track record.
Having closed on lows of the prior day, price would need to hold above 5975 and work to reclaim the upper distribution.
Breakdown below 5975 opens the trap door to explore “singles” down to 5965 – 5960 zone. Weekly VWAP resides @ 5958 and Prior Week High 5956 could also be exploratory levels on a decline.
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 5975+-, initially targets 5990 – 5995 zone.
Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 5975+-, initially targets 5965 – 5960 zone.
