S&P 500

Prior Session was Cycle Day 1 (CD1):  Normal CD1 as price put in late session low at 3356. Range was 30.50 handles on 1.0M contracts traded.

Transition from Cycle Day 1 to Cycle Day 2

This leads us into Cycle Day 2 (CD2): Price has rallied roughly 10 handles from prior session close in quiet trade. Expectation is for a normal CD2 consolidation day type. Support marked at 3365 and resistance 3380. We have two scenarios to consider for today’s trading.

1.) Price sustains a bid above 3370, initially targeting 3380 – 3385 zone.

2.) Price sustains an offer below 3370, initially targeting 3365 – 3360 zone.

*****3 Day Cycle has a 91% probability of fulfilling Positive Statistic covering 12 years of recorded tracking history.

PVA High Edge = 3370       PVA Low Edge = 3360         Prior POC = 3365

Today is Cycle Day 2 (CD2)…Price has recovered all of prior session’s last hour decline. Price is trading above prior Value Zone so today we have two scenarios to consider:

PVA High Edge = 11170       PVA Low Edge = 11120      Prior POC = 11155

Bull Scenario: IF Bulls sustain a bid above 11200, THEN initial upside estimate targets 11218 – 11238 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
