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 6393 (Recap) and 6380 (Recap-MA).

Sunday GLOBEX opening has price gapping higher as POTUS has secured a EU Tariff Deal.

Target Zone of 6445 – 6455 has been fulfilled at the time of this writing (7pm), but the key will be its “sustainability” during the full overnight session and Monday’s RTH.

Overbought and Oversold are subjective assessments. The key will be whether higher prices are either “accepted” or “rejected”


Corporate Earnings: This week is packed with earnings reports from major tech companies, including Microsoft, Meta, Apple, and Amazon. These reports are expected to be a key driver for market direction in the coming week. Other notable companies reporting include Boeing, Coinbase, Exxon Mobil, Chevron, and Starbucks.
