S&P 500
Prior Session was Cycle Day 1 (CD1): Normal CD1 unfolded as price traded with a heavy sell bias, ending a volatile week with new CD1 Low @ 3660.25. Range was 123 handles, on 2.805M contracts exchanged.
…Transition from Cycle Day 1 to Cycle Day 2
This leads us into Cycle Day 2 (CD2): Price is holding above CD1 Low (3660.25) during overnight activity. Market is in need of a neutral day to stabilize recent persistent selling. As we know, for CD2 expectation is for back n fill / consolidation, though in this case with a downward lean as “risk-off” remains the dominant theme. As such, estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.
Bull Scenario: Price sustains a bid above 3690, initially targets 3710 – 3715 zone.
Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 3690, initially targets 3670 – 3660 zone.

Stay Focused…Non-Biased…Disciplined ALWAYS USE STOPS!
