S&P 500

Friday’s Session was Cycle Day 2 (CD2): Sellers dominated this day with “risk-off” anxiety ahead of this week’s FED Meeting. Range was 56.25 handles on 1.726M contracts exchanged. 

 …Transition from Cycle Day 2 to Cycle Day 3

This leads us into Cycle Day 3 (CD3): Selling pressure has continued into Globex and pre-RTH, currently trading below CD1 Low (4433.25). Potential is high for a “failed” 3 Day Cycle unless price recovery back above CD1 Low.  As such, estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.

1.) Price sustains a bid above 4350, initially targets 4365 – 4375 zone. 

2.) Price sustains an offer below 4350, initially targets 4330 – 4325 zone.

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

PVA High Edge = 4390       PVA Low Edge = 4358         Prior POC = 4364

Today is Cycle Day 3 (CD3)…Sellers continue to dominate the trading landscape, spilling over from prior session. Prior range was 252 handles on 606k contracts exchanged. As such, there are two estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.

Bear Scenario: IF Bears sustain an offer below 15150, THEN initial downside estimate targets 15125 – 15100 zone.

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
