S&P 500

Prior Session was Cycle Day 2 (CD2): Price continued it’s ascent, fully recovering prior Cycle’s CD1 (Buy Day) Low, essentially averting the potential for consecutive failed cycles, which would have been a bearish signal. For now, Bulls remain in-control. Range was 45.25 handles on 1.136M contracts exchanged.

 …Transition from Cycle Day 2 to Cycle Day 3

This leads us into Cycle Day 3 (CD3): 3-Day Cycle Target (4307) has been fulfilled, so we’ll mark today as a “wild-card” for direction. Current price swing is up and bulls are in-control, but as we know, the “trading weather” can change quickly. We remain vigilant, flexible and always in alignment with the current dominate force. As such, estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.

1.) Price sustains a bid above 4355, initially targets 4366 – 4373 zone. 

2.) Price sustains an offer below 4355, initially targets 4340 – 4332 zone.

*****3 Day Cycle has a 91% probability of fulfilling Positive Cycle Statistics covering 12 years of recorded tracking history.

PVA High Edge = 4348       PVA Low Edge = 4328         Prior POC = 4340

Nasdaq 100 (NQ)

Today is Cycle Day 3 (CD3)…Price is extending gains during overnight session and has fully recovered prior CD1 (Buy Day) Low. Prior range was 171.25 handles on 397k contracts exchanged. As such, there are two estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.

PVA High Edge = 14786       PVA Low Edge = 14718      Prior POC = 14775

Bull Scenario: IF Bulls sustain a bid above 14840, THEN initial upside estimate targets 14872 – 14895 zone.

Bear Scenario: IF Bears sustain an offer below 14840, THEN initial downside estimate targets 14810 – 14790 zone.

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
