S&P 500

Prior Session was Cycle Day 3 (CD3): Market’s early reversed lower once CD3 Penetration Level was fulfilled. as bulls could not sustain a bid. Range was 58 handles on 1.549M contracts exchanged. 

 …Transition from Cycle Day 3 to Cycle Day 1

This leads us into Cycle Day 1 (CD1): Average Decline for CD1 measures 4179. Price is trading inside prior value zone as we may see some consolidation of recent activity. Clean violation and conversion of 4200 (strike) opens trap door for the “walk-away”. We’ll mark 4210 as key Line-in-the-Sand for over/under. As such, estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.

Bull Scenario: Price sustains a bid above 4210, initially targets 4230 – 4235 zone. 

Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 4210, initially targets 4195 – 4185 zone.

PVA High Edge = 4247       PVA Low Edge = 4214         Prior POC = 4234

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
