S&P 500
Prior Session was Cycle Day 2 (CD2): Price ended last week on a down note and it appears a continuation second leg lower in overnight trade. Range was 82.25 on 2.187M contracts exchanged.
Note: Contract Rollover is now complete with December (Z) the front contract month.
…Transition from Cycle Day 2 to Cycle Day 3
This leads us into Cycle Day 3 (CD3): Price has continued lower during over night trade fulfilling CD2 Violation Level (3247.50). Price is also below Cycle Day 1 Low (3310.25) and needs to recover this level, otherwise this cycle will have “failed”. As such, there are two scenarios to consider for today’s trading.
1.) Price sustains a bid above 3270, initially targeting 3285 – 3300 zone.
2.) Price sustains an offer below 3270, initially targeting 3250 – 3230 zone.
*****3 Day Cycle has a 91% probability of fulfilling Positive Statistic covering 12 years of recorded tracking history.

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!
