S&P 500

Prior Session was Cycle Day 2 (CD2):  Price consolidated with a negative lean throughout this session, closing nears lows capped by a month-ending Market on Close Imbalance of $4.3 Billion. Range was 65 handles on 2.268M contracts exchanged. 

 …Transition from Cycle Day 2 to Cycle Day 3

This leads us into Cycle Day 3 (CD3): Price is well below CD1 Low (3964.50), so this level must be recovered to avert a “failed cycle.” As such, estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.

Bull Scenario: Price sustains bid above 3935, initially targets 3955 – 3965 zone. 

Bear Scenario: Price sustains offer below 3935, initially targets 3925 – 3920 zone.

PVA High Edge = 4002       PVA Low Edge = 3966        Prior POC = 3973

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
