Prior Session was Cycle Day 2: Normal CD2 unfolded as MATD rhythm was the main theme for this session. Returning traders from lunch decided to get aggressive and orchestrate an upside breakout in K-Period (2:30 – 3:00) which held subsequent pullbacks, to close price near highs of the day. Range was 48 handles on 1.419M contracts exchanged.
…Transition from Cycle Day 2 to Cycle Day 3
This leads us into Cycle Day 3: Primary Three-Day Cycle Target (5708) has been fulfilled so with bulls remaining firmly in-control we’ll mark today as a “wild-card.” Dow Jones (YM) was higher in excess of 700 points yesterday, while NAZ (NQ) seems to be the fly in the ointment, uncharacteristically. (see more on NQ below).
You Know The Plan! Our discipline of maintaining positioning that is aligned with market forces continues to serve us well, so stay the course.
As such, scenarios to consider for today’s trading.
Bull Scenario: Price sustains a bid above 5708, initially targets 5720 – 5730 zone.
Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 5708, initially targets 5695 – 5690 zone.

Prior Session was Cycle Day 2: CD2 normal unfolded during this session as price oscillated between CD1 Low (20506) and upper edge (20625) of the 3-Day Central Pivot Zone. While ES & YM showed relative strength, NQ is uncharacteristically struggling. Range was 220 handles on 621k contracts exchanged.
…Transition from Cycle Day 2 to Cycle Day 3
This leads us into Cycle Day 3: As long as price trades above CD1 Low (20506.25) a positive 3-Day Cycle will be secured, then anything goes directionally. Also of note, Small Caps (Russell 2000) rallied for more than 3% for its fifth straight day of gains. Is this hinting of some asset rotation?
