Interesting action on ES yesterday. Afternoon rally was quite interesting.

 

I am still cautious on the long side for ES... take a look at Nikkei profile.

July 8th showed long liquidation... "b" profile after higher value placement from July 4th. Overlapping value prior to the 4th is confirming longs caught on the wrong side... hence the down trend and liquidation on the 8th.

 

However, US markets rallied yesterday. Today (9th) the Nikkei gapped up, spent the entire morning rangebound then dropped. The "P" profile shows this as a potential short covering day with a close near the low of the range. Yesterday could be a bull trap on the ES. See chart below.

Afternoon rally looked good but value is still enclosed within the previous day and not higher. What the DAX and FTSE do may be key today for the ES. (DAX is rangebound but sensing some selling pressure at the moment). Crude is slighly up as well.

sods law that is!

 

Yeah, almost closed the next one too early as well, but somehow managed to hold on and actually make more points than expected. Slippage sometimes works in your favour, although the Dow has now continued south, of course!

Yes, theres some swinging around at the moment isnt there. See oil is coming down still... $136 Aug delivery, should help a rally in indices......

Doesn't seem to be working at the moment, Buzz. Just wish I'd kept with my short from about 400...

 

PS. c200 close, maybe?

    • Date: 29th May 2024. Market News – Stocks drop with bonds.Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   The NASDAQ was the star as the markets, of it rallied 0.59% to close at 17,019.88 for a fresh record high. And it is its first time over the 17,000 level. A 7% pop from Nvidia supported. Fed Kashkari said he wants to see “many more months” of positive inflation data before a rate cut. German GfK consumer confidence improves further. All signs are that consumption trends should improve with the rise in real-disposable income as falling inflation, rising wages and the prospect of rate cuts boost sentiment. US consumer confidence beat assumptions. Confidence has displayed only a slight updraft since mid-2022, after a prior deterioration from mid-2021 peaks. Asian & European Open: European & US stocks slipped earlier today against a backdrop of rising government bond yields. DAX fell 0.2% and FTSE lost 0.06%. Traders are pricing in that the ECB will lower its deposit rate when policymakers meet next week. Asia stock market dipped as Chinese tech and property companies declined. The Hang Seng Tech index shed 2.3%. Financial Markets Performance: The USDIndex is steady and Treasury yields also held firm ahead of key inflation data, which could offer more clarity on the Fed rate trajectory. The USDJPY fell to 156.88 nearing levels that prompted suspected interventions by Tokyo in late April and early May. Currently rebounded again above 157. Japanese officials might issue verbal warnings again, but without tangible action, the USDJPY could march towards late April levels The EURUSD dipped to 1.0830 but still marked its first monthly gain in 2024. Meanwhile, the GBPUSD was last at 1.2760. Gold steadied at $2350 per ounce as markets wait for key US PCE numbers at the end of the week. Bullion hit a record high early last week, only to post the sharpest weekly correction this year as the Fed reiterated the “high-for-longer” message. Oil broke the $80 barrier as Middle East tensions have picked up again. Markets are now looking ahead to the release of key US inflation data and the OPEC+ meeting on June 2.
