S&P 500

Prior Session was Cycle Day 2 (CD2): Normal Cycle Day 2 as price consolidated throughout the session, catching a strong end of week bid post 2 pm into the closing bell. Prior range was 46 handles on heavy 1.645M contracts exchanged.

 …Transition from Cycle Day 2 to Cycle Day 3

This leads us into Cycle Day 3 (CD3): Price momentum has shifted back to bullish camp following a multi-day corrective decline which found support at the June 12th low (4350 – 4370) zone. There remains ample room to fulfill upside cycle targets, though at this stage a positive 3-day cycle statistic appears secure. As such, estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.

Bull Scenario: Price sustains a bid above 4385, initially targets 4405 – 4410 zone. 

Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 4385, initially targets 4365 – 4360 zone.

PVA High Edge = 4389       PVA Low Edge = 4367         Prior POC = 4380

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
