***Written Tuesday evening for Wednesday’s trading for contribution to MrTopStep’s “The Opening Print” publication.
Prior Session was Cycle Day 3 (CD3): As expected trading produced a wide swing volatile session which completed a Positive 3 Day Cycle. Prior range was 76.50 handles on 2.059M contracts exchanged.
…Transition from Cycle Day 3 to Cycle Day 1
This leads us into Cycle Day 1 (CD1): Expectation is for continued wide swing price moves as traders seek adjusted “accepted value”, which appears to be located between 3900 – 3950 handles. IF the market can raise and sustain a bid above the upper edge of range (3950), THEN 4000 Strike Zone comes back into play. Sustained offering below 3950 keeps volatile swings dominant . #KNOWYOURMIL As such, estimated scenarios to consider for today’s trading.
Bull Scenario: Price sustains a bid above 3915, initially targets 3945 – 3950 zone.
Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 3915, initially targets 3890 – 3885 zone.
PVA High Edge = 3930 PVA Low Edge = 3893 Prior POC = 3908
*****The 3 Day Cycle has a 91% probability of fulfilling Positive Cycle Statistics covering 12 years of recorded tracking history.
