Prior Session was Cycle Day 2 (CD2): Normal CD2 as price successfully retested CD1 Low (3613), finding supportive bid. Range was 114 handles on 2.797M contracts exchanged. 

 …Transition from Cycle Day 2 to Cycle Day 3

This leads us into Cycle Day 3 (CD3): Price is currently above CD1 Low (3613) with expectation of a Positive 3-Day Cycle Statistic. End of Month trade action will dominate the landscape as traders shuffle for final positioning. Five-Day Value Area (3650 – 3700) is the current “sandbox”  As such, estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.

Bull Scenario: Price sustains bid above 3675, initially targets 3700 – 3710 zone. 

Bear Scenario: Price sustains offer below 3675, initially targets 3650 – 3640 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!
