YM and how it could've been seen....

Recommended Posts

I just wanted to post up a pic of the past few days' profiles because it is very telling of what was coming, and I think it could be used in the future to see how the profiles form when coming into a downward move.

Notice how the profiles were forming continuous "b" shaped profiles. What this shape is indicative of is long liquidation. Why? Simple. The fact that there is no initiative selling tails at the bottom of the profiles is showing that no new selling is coming into the market, so the longs are just letting go of positions. You can notice there is a balanced area, "b" profile, balanced profile, and then another "b" shaped profile right before we had this major move down yesterday.

 

One other thing to notice...value continually positioned itself lower. Every day of last week value moved lower. Thats a big signal that we're heading lower and any longs should have a TIGHT stop, or look for initiating short positions on a longer term basis.

 

Today we've got a P shaped profile, showing short covering. There isn't any new buying that is showing in the profile of today. And while value placement is inside of yesterday's value area, we must remember value for yesterday was larger than it's been in a long long time. Value has now been placed in the lower range of yesterday's value. I would expect to see some initiative selling once again in the coming days until we start seeing profiles that showing us new buying is coming into the picture.

Great stuff Tingull. Definitely love seeing those P Profiles after a nice decline. (although I played all shorts today on 10 trades) Unless fresh buying comes in we are likely to go lowerrrrr. Should be a active week or two.

For sure, Soultrader. There wasn't fresh long term buying in the market today...and the recovery thats being touted on the money shows....Was only like 10% of yesterdays decline. Crumby attempt at a rally after that kind of corrective day. Tomorrow should see more downward movement. The decline at the end of the day was on some decent volume with YM closing at the low of value for today. I'd be surprised if we did see another significant move to the upside within the next few trading days.

These 500 point YM declines happen about once every 4 years. It would be interesting to look at the profiles for the last time they happened to see if we can spot any patterns and clues about where YM is going next.

The patterns are showing up in the profiles themselves. Historical would be cool to see, but I think the profiles right now speak for themselves. Markets are weak, continually placing value lower. Notice how price ended higher today, but value was lower...always watch value. The most important lesson is to differentiate value from price.

    • Date: 17th May 2024. Market News – Asian and European futures followed Wall Street lower. Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   The Dow topped 40,000 for the first time ever, but was unable to close with that historic handle. Concurrently, the S&P tried for its 24th record high this year but failed too. The rise in Treasury yields after stronger than expected import prices, and a drumbeat from Fed officials that rates need to remain high for longer, encouraged profit taking. Most Asian equity markets and European futures have followed Wall Street lower, after US data dented rate cut hikes. Chinese data showing slowed consumption and a drop in home sales, although industrial production numbers looked relatively robust. Japan’s core consumer inflation slowed for a 2nd month in a row in April from a year earlier, while the core consumer prices index (CPI) is expected to decelerate to 2.2% from 2.6% in March, the lowest level in 3 months, but still at or above the central bank’s 2% target for more than two years. Financial Markets Performance: The USDIndex firmed slightly to 104.518 and up from the day’s nadir of 104.080. But it held a 104 handle for a second straight day. It traded above the 105 level from April 10 until May 15. Silver has surged nearly 25% this year, outpacing Gold and becoming a top-performing commodity, though it remains relatively inexpensive compared to gold. Both metals have hit record highs due to central-bank buying and increased interest in China. USOil is 0.75% higher at $79.23. Market Trends:   All three major US indexes closed slightly in the red after posting all-time highs on Wednesday. The NASDAQ closed with a -0.26% decline, while the S&P500 lost -0.21%, and the Dow was off -0.1% at 39,869. It was a corrective day for Treasuries too. Bonds unwound part of their recent rally that took rates down to the lows since early April. Always trade with strict risk management.
