Left 1/2 but I feel all it not bullish only here...largish volume getting done in Dax at the top....but if Dow stays aroudn here....it should open up another 25 or so imo...

 

I'd be surprised if it opens above 600...

Right now, imo, ES is at resistance (1275), NQ as well (1825) and DOW... well not so sure...

 

Well done on the longs!

Completely misread today. After Apple news, I reckoned on at least 150 down, now it looks like finishing 150 up.

 

 

same here....was too agressively short easier in the day in the Dow ( not posted)...and just recouped that really in the last hour...

 

These coloured chart bars do stop me from that fatal habit of seeing a rally start and think...."short it" ( well I dont do it as often !)

 

 

tomorrow another day...

Well I wish you best of luck to start with! I do remember those days, but I haven't exactly been doing that well recently, so unfortunately those triple digit profit days seem a long way ago... :\

Going to try and post a daily chart with my coloured bars on...

 

the p = buy and the q = short are independent of the colours

The colour is in real time it changes during the bar if triggered not at the close of the bar...

So the colour change and the 'p' should have told me something down at the lows

 

Have been banging on about it for a while thought I would post a chart...

Only took me 30 mins to do it...

 

Would like to add did not take the short or the long... lol

I dabble in the much smaller time frames... but the charts paint the same..

Looking for a top on this rally, the market snapped around the 11700-11750 level, which I now see as resistance.

 

Looking back at the closest historical previous bear market – in the 1970s when commodities were in a secular bull run and the overlay of current chart on it shows strong similarities – rallies took on a span of around 1000 points. As we bottomed at 10800 this would be a max 11800.

 

The volatility indicators have moved from just over 30 (when we went down to 10800) to just over 21 as at the end of yesterday. 20 and below is considered a good indicator to sell and we are fast approaching.

 

Previous bear market rallies, although they can be fast and furious like this one, have often lasted a couple of months. I don’t expect therefore that we will go straight up to 11700-11800 from here, go sub 20 on the VXO/VIX and start a new down leg. I think we need a bit of consolidation in this upleg first – some pullback before we go up to those levels.

 

Interestingly the next leg of the bear in the 1970s equivalent wiped off 3000 points off the DOW.

hope she plays ball mate - im off the round number at 550, maybe should have taken the 30 or so pips....

 

I have more confidence in the ES to be honest.

 

This area 11500-11800 has little in terms of S/R, what do you think?

Totally, Just playing intraday support here, everything here is airy fairy imo, it could go to 700, could go to 800. 550 showed some support premarket and hence the long.

The Nq made the higher low yesterday but struggling to bust the downtrend line from june, but she came off trumps at 1822-24 so am hoping we fly to the next zone which is 1850.

Unfortunately I played the wrong index....

Inventories at 3.30 should give this a bit of a push...

Not enough evidence imo to mark the top, so far anyway...

    • Date: 23rd May 2024. NVIDIA Surpasses Earnings Expectations, Fed Considers Another Rate Hike. FOMC Meeting Minutes confirms certain members believe the current monetary policy may not be “adequately restrictive”. The US stock market depreciated after the Meeting Minutes. However, investors quickly bought shares after NVIDIA’s Quarterly Earnings Report. The US Stock Market on average rose 0.50% after the Meeting Minutes. NVIDIA’s Earnings Per Share rose from $5.16 to $6.12 and Revenue rose 15% in the first quarter of 2024. Yesterday the US Dollar Index rose up to 0.32% and shot upwards 0.15% in the 30-minutes after the Fed release. USA100 – NVIDIA’s Earnings Increase Sentiment And The NASDAQ To An All-Time High! On Wednesday, the NASDAQ spent most of the day witnessing intraday declines which gained momentum after the Fed Minutes. After the Federal Reserve Meeting Minutes, the NASDAQ was trading 0.69% lower and the SNP500 0.74% lower. The decline was a result of the ultra-hawkish comments within the Federal Open Market Committee regarding monetary policy and inflation. However, as the price fell to $18,619.54, the price thereafter surged more than 1.50% within the next 8-hours. The change in trend is a result of the positive Quarterly Earnings Report from NVIDIA. NVIDIA’s Earnings Per Share rose from $5.16 to $6.12 and Revenue rose 15% in the first quarter of 2024. Shareholders held onto their shares while buy orders rose triggering a much higher price. In addition to this, NVIDIA’s director’s speech expressed confidence in earnings and the upcoming quarters. NVIDIA’s management also compared their success to the industrial revolution. As a result, NVIDIA’s stock rose more than 6.00% after market close and is now trading above $1,000. In addition to this, the comments and earnings data had a positive effect on investor sentiment in the broader stock market, but particularly for semiconductors and chipmaking companies. For example, AMD’s stocks rose almost 2.00% and Applied Material Stocks rose 1.75% after NVIDIA’s earnings report. Due to the volatility the price of the index is obtaining primarily “buy” signals from indications and technical analysis in general. The price has also become “overbought” on the RSI on some timeframes but remains within a buy signal and not overbought on intraday timeframes. Though investors should note that the Fed’s Meeting Minutes does bear risk for the index. This will be expanded on below.   EURUSD – The US Dollar Rises As Fed Members Play With The Thought Of Another Rate Hike! The EURUSD is trading within an upward facing corrective swing measuring 0.14%. The bullish price movement is currently only forming a retracement pattern as the EURUSD exchange rate has been trading within a bearish trend for 5 days but gained momentum yesterday due to the US Meeting Minutes. According to the Meeting Minutes, certain officials believe the policy requires a 25-basis points hike to achieve the 2% target. In addition to this, even the members which are known to be more dovish were troubled by the rise in inflation. Economists continue to believe the Federal Reserve is unlikely to increase rates despite the recent comments. There is a 49% possibility of a rate cut in September according to the CME FedWatch Tool. However, 13.00% of the market believe there will be no cuts at all in 2024. The hawkish comments regarding higher interest rates are positive for the US Dollar and have triggered various sell signals for the EURUSD. However, investors should also note that a hawkish Fed can also significantly pressure the stock market. Currently, economists are battling amongst each other over whether the higher earnings or the hawkish Fed will be the main price driver. Currently, the higher earnings data is winning, but this may not be the case if inflation does not decline this month. In terms of the Euro, the latest price driver is the European PMI data for Germany and France. German PMI beat expectations while French data saw a mixed reaction. Investors will now turn their attention to the US data later in this afternoon. Always trade with strict risk management. Your capital is the single most important aspect of your trading business.
