Prior Session was Cycle Day 2 (CD2): Normal CD2 as price did ‘back n fill’ holding firm the current uptrend. Range was 28.75 handles, slightly above 10-day average of 27, with 1.131M contracts exchanged.

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!
