Bull run

Dow Futures, likely to lift higher? Or not?

Recommended Posts

I saw a clip of the dow futures analysis a few days back on this forum. It looked like the dow could not break above 11400. What are your thoughts on this?

 

Can we expect prices to fall back to the June and July support at around 10700? Looking for a swing trading opportunity. Thanks

Its good to keep an open mind and constantly change your bias as the market condition changes. Markets change every single second. That is why it is hard to tell anyone whether to go long or short. I can might change my mind and reverse my position a few minutes later.... so watch out when getting a second opinion.

 

Just by taking a quick glance at the daily chart, we are in a very interesting spot. August 18th's price rejection may not be a legitimate one. on August 18th, price broke out of the key resistance at 11400. The following Monday on August 21, the markets gapped down below 11400 and never filled the gap.

 

This information led me to believe that we may not be able to break that crucial 11400 level. The entire week from August 14 - August 18th, we saw higher value placement. During the week from August 18th - August 25th, we saw price trade in value (consolidate) and lower value placement.

 

However, we had a significant rally yesterday with a higher value placement and decent volume. This rally was important for prices to remain above the trendline and respect it. We are also forming an ascending trianlge pattern. Price is trading above the 8, 21, 50, 100, and 200 period moving average. Technically speaking, price says that we have a good chance of going higher.

 

If you are looking to swing trade the dow, buying the breakout of the August 18th's high with a stop 10 points or so below 11400 looks like a decent opportunity.

    • I guess US has fund managers and investment banking institutions looking after the portfolios on behalf of their clients.
    • There are many resources related to forex trading available on forums like babypips and forexfactory etc.
    • Candle stick pattern is one of the easiest charting patterns available to learn and make money. However, new traders never learn about the skills needed for earning money but they rush for making money and eventually lose their money.
    • Nothing wrong with being a ‘progressive’. Nothing wrong with being a ‘conservative’.  Very generally, ‘conservatives’ have preponderance of the here and now neurotransmitters, prefer empirical references, the rule of law, and value individual agency (It has been said that conservatives love humans and progressives love humanity) . Very generally, ‘progressives’ are dopaginaric - driven by passion for a better possible future, prefer references to others  (Example Karmela won’t answer questions with facts.  She cites the opinion of 18 ‘experts’), have a penchant for rule by man/mobs not by law , and value ‘societal' agency.  However, excesses of either tendency indicates mental illness, collective malaise, and has consequences.  When either camp is systematically captured by control seekers and/or, situationally by mobs, the whole is lessened. A key sign that is occurring is when one side no longer allows disagreement.  Progressives have  currently gone crazy in those excesses and are no longer allowing anything but unithought... examples - You can still be a vocal pro choice republican.  Try being a vocal pro life democrat. For snicks just try it.  You’ll get cancelled.  Bust a myth about blacks in America, true up the real  history of Republicans ending slavery and what has happened since, how the democrats are the party of the KKK, how Obama did not a fkn thang for blacks in general, be a black republican, etc.    You will get canceled in a heartbeat. Step up and question the social agendas of federally subsidized schools at a board meeting... get treated like shit and also get an immediate case number with the FBI ... Question the requirements to watch and lickkiss the 'rainbows' and also make sure your kids show up for it, not to mention fund transitions out of your pocket and see what you get ‘labeled’ Question mainstream media bias - even just to mention that biased, agenda driven narrative is different from truth in reporting - and see what happens to your voice... Excesses have consequences... imbalances have consequences... just sayin’
