Pre-Market Discussion for Thursday June 7, 2007

Recommended Posts

Personally, I like to combine Market Profile with other concepts so I can't really talk just about Market Profile but here is my thought for today:

 

Market looked strongly like a trend day yesterday but in reality it was not. The market formed a 'b' profile, indicating likely participation of long-term, patient buyers. Elecotronic markets generally fall quickly. Forming a 'b' on a big down day is generally indicative of a market that may reverse (which may end up as temporary but useful as a trader).

 

Re Today,

 

Raschke says that there is a very strong tendency for the market to trade below the previous days low when the market closes with extremely bad breadth. Yesterday was the worst breadth since 3/13. The market appears to want to do that given globex action.

 

Thus the market will be opening below yesterdays POC. There is a stong tendency to want to touch previous days POC. Buying Pressure.

 

The 2-period ROC is a George Taylor type of gauge from the book 'Street Smarts'. It is buried and indicates there should be some buying pressure at some point today provided the market does not trade up first (which it isn't).

Buying Pressure.

 

I watch 'Summation Ticks' as an indicator of buy/sell programs that have become too one-sided. Sum-ticks are at an extreme today and due to flush up some today. Buying Pressure.

 

Re Momentum:

 

The market did make a momentum low yesterday using 60 & 120-minute oscillators. This calls for lower prices today. It looks like we will get that this morning. I will be watching for buy divergences on the next push down.

 

Net Net,

 

Expectation is for a morning reversal back up toward the 15-min 20-ema but will monitor the action closely to not get run over if the market does do the unlikely trend day (true trending days are quite rare). George Taylor would call today a 'Buy Day lows made first'.

 

late caveat, the bond market is getting absolutely slammed today. The morning might have a strong move down -- usual reversal time is more in the 10am to 11:30am timeframe (EST).

<<How do you calculate "Summation Ticks" ?>>

 

the exact formula is actually confidential but you can follow it here on the homepage...

todays reading is extremely low indicating sell-programs have dominated for an extended period of time. This would add fuel to the fire if there were a reversal. In a big massive downtrend the sum-ticks will get run over. But as a short-term trader, I am less concerned with big massive trend moves since I care only about the swings and not about the 'close to close' move.

Also something to consider...the past 2 days price hasn't even been able to retrace more than 50% of it's daily range in the latter half of the session. Both retraced just to 50% and then fell. The YM (market I trade) is trading below a very pivotal area right now. 13450 had formed a V pivot on a 65minute chart, and its like to blow right through that since it didn't form much balance last time price visited here. After that, we've got the 400 area to give us some support. I agree...with the b shaped profile the selling had stopped, and could look for some consolidation before heading lower. I don't think there's much evidence just yet of larger time frame participants getting heavy into the market.

 

I could be totally wrong, too...

10:15am update.... market gapped down but did 'open-drive' up. watching for buy divergences on next push down. I was expecting the global interest rate surge to cause opening hour weakness and instead market went up off the opening price -- probably a squeeze. but screws up timing of a clean morning reversal up to test 15-min EMA will have to monitor momentum of this push down and then look for 15-min 20ema test.

    • 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. Remember, sometimes what you throw in the garbage is something that someone wishes ever to have.” – ElZee, Quora   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
