S&P 500

Prior Session was Cycle Day 2 (CD2): The 3 day rally is in place, therefore the decline could start at any time. Bulls remain in-control so the next decision will be for either continued expansion of the current rally…consolidation…or decline? Range was 55 handles on 1.684M contracts exchanged. 

 …Transition from Cycle Day 2 to Cycle Day 3

This leads us into Cycle Day 3 (CD3): For today we’ll be looking for early consolidation to absorb recent activity as market is entering a critical decision area for continued upside to 4000 or decline back down to 3900 pivot. We’ll mark 3950 as today’s Line-in-Sand. As such, estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.

Bull Scenario: Price sustains bid above 3950, initially targets 3970 – 3975 zone. 

Bear Scenario: Price sustains offer below 3950, initially targets 3935 – 3930 zone.

PVA High Edge = 3974       PVA Low Edge = 3946        Prior POC = 3968

Nasdaq 100 (NQ)

Today is Cycle Day 3 (CD3)…Price has fulfilled 3-day cycle objective (12321). Bulls remain in-control so it is theirs to lose. Well mark 12395 as key Line-in-Sand. As such, estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.

Bull Scenario: IF Bulls sustains bid above 12395, THEN initial upside estimate targets 12500 – 12525 zone.

Bear Scenario: IF Bears sustains offer below 12395, THEN initial downside estimate targets 12340 – 12268 zone.

PVA High Edge = 12517       PVA Low Edge = 12340     Prior POC = 12467

Range Projections and Key Levels (NQ) Sept 2022 (U) Contract

HOD  ATR Range Projection: 12730; LOD ATR Range Projection: 12164; 3 Day Central Pivot: 12186; 3 Day Cycle Target: 12321; 10 Day Average True Range: 335; VIX: 24

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!

Good Trading…David
