S&P 500

Prior Session was Cycle Day 3 (CD3): Price fulfilled 3 Day Cycle Statistic as well as Cycle Objective (4412). Prior Range was 24 handles on 1.022M contracts exchanged.

 …Transition from Cycle Day 3 to Cycle Day 1

This leads us into Cycle Day 1 (CD1): Average Decline for CD1 measures 4386. Price is “nesting” within 2-day value zones, which suggest contraction of the range. This typically leads to a directional breakout, so remain vigilant for this scenario unfolding. As such, estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.

1.) Price sustains a bid above 4405, initially targets 4415 – 4420 zone. 

2.) Price sustains an offer below 4405, initially targets 4395 – 4390 zone.

*****3 Day Cycle has a 91% probability of fulfilling Positive Cycle Statistics covering 12 years of recorded tracking history.

PVA High Edge = 4405       PVA Low Edge = 4396         Prior POC = 4400

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
