Today is Cycle Day 2 (CD2)…Prior Session was a Cycle Day 1 and the Low was put in-place first. As such, this cycle’s rally began in earnest with price closing in upper portion of session’s range. This set the bullish scenario for additional gains rolling into Globex Session and today’s Cycle Day 2 Session.
Quiet NKD/SSE Sessions lead to an explosive EUR open rally which has carried price to ATR (10) Range Levels.
