Discussion re: Tuesday June 12, 2007

Recommended Posts

Market appears to have put in a corrective move up over last 2 days after making new momentum lows on Thursday on the 120-minute timeframe. There was a trending (skinny) market profile that began on Friday afternoon and continued into Monday.

 

The 'up-auction' tired yesterday as NYSE volume was lightest since May 25th and the profile became 'fat' near 1528.00 for S&P's and 1935.00 for NQ.

 

Combining Friday afternoon with all of monday, the Profile has formed a 'P' distribution. A stem of the 'P' indicates short covering AND new buying. The belly of the P indicates that some responsive selling came in at the higher price level. A 'P' is not bearish though by itself, just indicative that buyers and sellers came into balance for a period near 1528.00 -- ending the short-term up-auction that began friday afternoon.

 

Momentum tends to precede price which would imply we will go below Thursdays low at some point due to the 120-min momentum lows put in on Thursday. This may or may not happen but it is important to be cognizant of the various buy/sell pressures.

 

Summation Ticks have moved back up after getting extremely depressed. Summation ticks are a proxy for net buy/sell program behavior. These line up nicely with the 120-min oscillator right now.

 

This morning; the bond market is again getting hit -- helping to send the S&P futures for a large (~7pt) opening gap down.

 

Today is set up bearishly but the market has already traded down. Due to the strong statistical tendencies, I will be patient and will look for a 15-min 20-EMA touch at some point before shorting. Large gaps to start the day indicate the market is out of balance which implies a significant pick-up in volatility.

 

Comments welcomed. Will soon give up on this discussion board if some other traders don't soon join in...

60-mins in:

 

market takes out 'last hour low' decisively to downside with ES forming a 9.25 point initial balance...

 

the bond market is challenging the (potential) excess low put in on Thursday.

 

Puts were not bought aggressively this morning despite the large gap down -- a harbinger of a potential trend day down.

Interesting day for NQ:

 

Mondays session did not touch Fridays POC despite pretty strong tendency to do so. But that was understandable given the strong afternoon trending profile that occured on Friday afternoon after a coil had formed. This upside momentum continued into Monday (on weak volume) before petering out and Mondays session formed 'value' near 1935.00.

 

Then today didn't look like it would touch 1935.00 (Mondays POC) when breadth was awful and the index was trading near 1914.00

 

What happened?

 

NQ went and touched Fridays POC then went and hunted down not only Mondays POC 20 points higher but ran to yesterdays last hour high, 24 points above the low for the day... NQ is a sick contract...

 

currently, NQ has found a little resistance at Mondays last hour high (to the tick so far).

    • Date: 22nd November 2024.   BTC flirts with $100K, Stocks higher, Eurozone PMI signals recession risk.   Asia & European Sessions:   Geopolitical risks are back in the spotlight on fears of escalation in the Ukraine-Russia after Russia reportedly used a new ICBM to retaliate against Ukraine’s use of US and UK made missiles to attack inside Russia. The markets continue to assess the election results as President-elect Trump fills in his cabinet choices, with the key Treasury Secretary spot still open. The Fed’s rate path continues to be debated with a -25 bp December cut seen as 50-50. Earnings season is coming to an end after mixed reports, though AI remains a major driver. Profit taking and rebalancing into year-end are adding to gyrations too. Wall Street rallied, led by the Dow’s 1.06% broadbased pop. The S&P500 advanced 0.53% and the NASDAQ inched up 0.03%. Asian stocks rose after  Nvidia’s rally. Nikkei added 1% to 38,415.32 after the Tokyo inflation data slowed to 2.3% in October from 2.5% in the prior month, reaching its lowest level since January. The rally was also supported by chip-related stocks tracked Nvidia. Overnight-indexed swaps indicate that it’s certain the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will cut its policy rate by 50 basis points on Nov. 27, with a 22% chance of a 75 basis points reduction. European stocks futures climbed even though German Q3 GDP growth revised down to 0.1% q/q from the 0.2% q/q reported initially. Cryptocurrency market has gained approximately $1 trillion since Trump’s victory in the Nov. 5 election. Recent announcement for the SEC boosted cryptos. Chair Gary Gensler will step down on January 20, the day Trump is set to be inaugurated. Gensler has pushed for more protections for crypto investors. MicroStrategy Inc.’s plans to accelerate purchases of the token, and the debut of options on US Bitcoin ETFs also support this rally. Trump’s transition team has begun discussions on the possibility of creating a new White House position focused on digital asset policy.     Financial Markets Performance: The US Dollar recovered overnight and closed at 107.00. Bitcoin currently at 99,300,  flirting with a run toward the 100,000 level. The EURUSD drifts below 1.05, the GBPUSD dips to June’s bottom at 1.2570, while USDJPY rebounded to 154.94. The AUDNZD spiked to 2-year highs amid speculation the RBNZ will cut the official cash rate by more than 50 bps next week. Oil surged 2.12% to $70.46. Gold spiked to 2,697 after escalation alerts between Russia and Ukraine. Heightened geopolitical tensions drove investors toward safe-haven assets. Gold has surged by 30% this year. Haven demand balanced out the pressure from a strong USD following mixed US labor data. Silver rose 0.9% to 31.38, while palladium increased by 0.9% to 1,040.85 per ounce. Platinum remained unchanged. Always trade with strict risk management.
