Tuesday’s Session was Cycle Day 3 (CD3): Price fulfilled 3 Day Cycle objectives and failed to expand above CD2 high, which attracted sellers, pushing price down to 4364 range low. Range was 51 handles on 1.541M contracts exchanged.
…Transition from Cycle Day 3 to Cycle Day 1
This leads us into Cycle Day 1 (CD1): Average Decline Projection Zone (4374 – 4372) was fulfilled during prior CD3 pullback. With the FOMC Meeting (Presser) on tap, anything goes for today’s session, as price is currently within yesterday’s value range. As such, estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.
1.) Price sustains a bid above 4394, initially targets 4408 – 4413 zone.
2.) Price sustains an offer below 4394, initially targets 4380 – 4377 zone.
*****3 Day Cycle has a 91% probability of fulfilling Positive Cycle Statistics covering 12 years of recorded tracking history.
