…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 6432 (Recap) and 6418 (Recap-MA).
Markets closed near their respective highs on strong outgoing momentum, which may “spill-over” into today’s action before the next decline unfolds.
Price is on the cusp of new all-time highs, so unless there is an outside force greater than the current inertial momentum, continuation is the expected outcome.
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 6460+-, initially targets 6480 – 6485 zone.
Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 6460+-, initially targets 6445– 6440 zone.
