…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 6397 (Recap) and 6387 (Recap-MA).
Price closed near highs of the day on the heals of positive Technology Earnings, pushing aside the JPOW Presser fiasco. (Irrelevancy)
Corporate earnings is what matters, and markets were impressed, providing a firm bid into the bell.
Key for today is whether or not follow-through will carry the day, or reversion into prior value unfolds.
Tough call on the Line in the Sand (LIS) for today, given the wide array of possible levels to reference.
Of course, nothing changes for PTG…Simply follow your plan. Take only Triple A setups and manage the $risk. ALWAYS HAVE HARD STOP-LOSSES in-place on the exchange.
PTG’s Primary Directive (PD) is to ALWAYS STAY IN ALIGNMENT with the DOMINANT FORCE.
As such, scenarios to consider for today’s trading.
Bull Scenario: Price sustains a bid above 6425+-, initially targets 6435 – 6440 zone.
Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 6425+-, initially targets 6415– 6410 zone.
