S&P 500 (ES)
Prior Session was Cycle Day 1: Pre-RTH rally stalled throughout the projected preliminary goal zone (5260 – 5265) as outlined in prior DTS Briefing 5.13.24. RTH rejected the early bid as price sold down and consolidated throughout the session with narrowing range and sub-par volumes. Markets are in a “holding-pattern” as traders await Wednesday’s CPI Report. Range was 30 handles on 890k contracts exchanged
…Transition from Cycle Day 1 to Cycle Day 2
This leads us into Cycle Day 2: Cycle Low was established at 5233.25 with price bouncing back to 5245, prior Line in the Sand. We will continue to reference this level for bull/bear rhythms. Volatility, or should I say “lack-of” volatility with sub-par volumes supports the consolidation theme.
As always, our tactical trade plan remains unchanged…Stay in alignment with dominant intra-day forces.
As such, scenarios to consider for today’s trading.
Bull Scenario: Price sustains a bid above 5245, initially targets 5260 – 5265 zone.
Bear Scenario: Price sustains an offer below 5245, initially targets 5230 – 5225 zone.
PVA High Edge = 5251 PVA Low Edge = 5242 Prior POC = 5244
*****The 3 Day Cycle has a 90% probability of fulfilling Positive Cycle Statistics covering 12 years of recorded tracking history.
