…Transition from Cycle Day 1 to Cycle Day 2
This leads us into Cycle Day 2: Market’s are on the “risk-on” offensive having fully recovered the dramatic sell-off, which is quickly becoming a distant-memory. This week’s attention is going to be focused on FOMC Minutes mid-week and JPOW speech at Jackson Hole on Friday.
Price is currently at an interesting Decision Point (DP) where the potential August Pivot High (5600.75) may repel further upside, following seven (7) days of One Time-Framing on the daily charts. Price would need to violate and convert the CD1 Low (5536.50) to lower resistance to shift the current bull dynamic.
As Cycle Day 2 normal expectation is for two-way balancing rhythms; We’ll be framing 5536 – 5585 as the primary consolidating edges. Either side of these levels may indicate a continuation to the upside or a reversal to the downside. As as always, we’ll defer to Mr. Market to be our guide for this session.
Know Thy Plan! Our discipline of maintaining positioning that is aligned with market forces continues to serve us well, so stay the course.
As such, scenarios to consider for today’s trading.
Bull Scenario: Price sustains a bid above 5585, initially targets 5600 – 5605 zone.
Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 5585, initially targets 5565 – 5560 zone.
PVA High Edge = 5461 PVA Low Edge = 5413 Prior POC = 5445
*****The 3 Day Cycle has a 90% probability of fulfilling Positive Cycle Statistics covering 12 years of recorded tracking history.
