Prior Session was Cycle Day 1 (CD1): Gap open left little doubt who was in control on this cycle day. Bulls held “ball-control” all session closing near highs for the day/week. Range was 74.50 handles on 1.223M contracts exchanged.

 …Transition from Cycle Day 1 to Cycle Day 2

This leads us into Cycle Day 2 (CD2): There is more room for price to achieve upside objectives, though  normal for today’s CD2 is for some bullish consolidation, given the current theme. BIG earnings week for the Retailers notes Morgan Stanley: Retail Revisions. As such, estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.

Bull Scenario: Price sustains a bid above 4255, initially targets 4275 – 4280 zone.

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
