S&P 500

Prior Session was Cycle Day 1 (CD1): Price did produce a decline for this cycle day, with low being established late in the session. Prior range was 50 handles on 1.714M contracts exchanged. 

 …Transition from Cycle Day 1 to Cycle Day 2

This leads us into Cycle Day 2 (CD2): Selling as spilled lower overnight violating the CD1 Low (4097) but has rebounded back above pre-RTH. Anecdotally, Pelosi’s en route and expected to land in Taiwan at 10:20 am et., so the markets may be jittery until she is safely on the ground.   As such, estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.

Bull Scenario: Price sustains a bid above 4097, initially targets 4106 – 4112 zone. 

Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 4097, initially targets 4085 – 4080 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
