…Transition from Cycle Day 3 to Cycle Day 1
Transition into Cycle Day 1: Today begins a new cycle with the average decline projection measuring 6277 (Recap) and 6241 (Recap-MA).
Markets are in the process of consolidating near the All-Time Highs, with the absorption of any selling related to the Trump Tariff Notices. This event has been well broadcasted, so those shorting into this event clearly are coming up on the short-end (pun intended) on the analysis curve.
PTG does not pretend to claim all-knowing about the long-term tariff-effect. But one thing is clear…The trend is up and best served staying in alignment.
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 6300+-, initially targets 6325 – 6330 zone.
Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 6300+-, initially targets 6280– 6275 zone.
PVA High Edge = 6312 PVA Low Edge = 6288 Prior POC = 6308
