12/5/07 Dow YM Analysis

Recommended Posts

Brief follow up on my expectations and key levels on the YM.

 

Chart below shows Dow and Nikkei in comparison.

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=4319&stc=1&d=1196845028

 

Dow traded in a range most of yesterday but a close in the lower range of the bracket. Key resistance was 13337 - 13340 and will continue to be a key pivot level. Premarket shows a little resistance right now as well.

Today, Nikkei trended nicely to the upside to recover all the losses from the previous session. Evening session Nikkei is trading above previous day high.

 

There is a close correlation with the US markets and the Nikkei. On most occasions, the US markets will lead the Nikkei. If Dow, S&P closes positive... Nikkei is likely to gap up the next day and end positive as well.

 

However, yesterday was a range day with slight weakness. Nikkei gapped down slightly then broke out of its morning range to trend up all throughout the remainder of the day. This inverse relationship makes it interesting.

 

Todays Asian Markets: Hange Seng +1.61%, TOPIX +0.73%, Singapore +0.91%, Shanghai +2.58%

 

There is a good chance the Dow will break yesterdays high and move into higher value placement. Key pivot will remain at 13340. My bias is a potential rotation towards 13380's.

 

However, most importantly will be to see how price reacts at the US open around the 13340 area. (do not want to see prices retrace back below 13300)

Well Soultrader since everybody and his brother appear to be bullish, it could turn out to be an interesting day, hope there are no nasty surprises. when there is a general consensus, markets have a tendency to do opposite:roll eyes:

Hi Walter,

 

Thanks. Asian markets did gap up today. Usually on a big gap day the Nikkei does nothing but trade in a tight range. This is the reason this contract can be one of the most boring contract in the world.

 

Last year, most of the movements came in the form of gaps. Intraday movements were minimal.

 

Will see it plays out and will post a few thoughts for todays upcoming US session.

I see, so they dont have 24 hours market like the globex on US markets...

 

you mention that after gaps, they consolidate, would the oposite be true, if no mayor gap, they trend ?

It has been the case lately. Over the past 2 years up until around September of 2007 the Nikkei trended roughly 23% of the time intraday. However, since the credit crisis and the high volatility it has been trending at approx 35% intraday. (Taking September - Present 2007)

 

I havent done enough study on this yet but just from my observation for the past few months trends tend to occur more often when the gap is not that significant. The larger the gap, the less likely the Nikkei will move intraday.

 

Here is a snapshot of todays morning session on the Nikkei.

It shows approx 150yen gap up and then a complete range.

 

Below is the Dow chart showing the Tokyo session. Notice the similarities? The Nikkei is constantly on a leash by the US markets in my opinion.

Hi Walter,

 

I have found the biggest clue to be when there is an inverse relationship between the Asian and US markets. (except Shanghai)

 

The US markets it the leader so when the Nikkei moves up when the US fell the day before, this will bring optimism into the US session. Im watching for anything that is outside of the normal market behavior. (does not happen often)

James,

 

What data feed do I need in eSignal to watch the Asian markets each day to start to see a correlation to the US Equities?

 

Also, what times do they open and close? i heard they have an AM and PM session? or was that the DAX? :)

 

Any pointers on WHEN to trade this market, related to the EST-zone?

 

Thanks for the great work, it goes noticed!

Thanks Maverick. For the Nikkei you will need access to the Osaka Exchange (OSE) which I believe is like $3 a month.

 

The opening is at 9:00am to 11:00am and then from 12:30pm to 3:10pm Tokyo time. The evening session starts from 4:30pm to 7:00pm but not much liquidity yet.

 

The most active time for the Nikkei is from 9:00am to around 10:30am and then from 12:30pm to about 1:00pm and then again from 2:30pm to 3:10pm. (Tokyo time)

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
