12/5/07 Dow YM Analysis

Recommended Posts

Brief follow up on my expectations and key levels on the YM.

 

Chart below shows Dow and Nikkei in comparison.

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=4319&stc=1&d=1196845028

 

Dow traded in a range most of yesterday but a close in the lower range of the bracket. Key resistance was 13337 - 13340 and will continue to be a key pivot level. Premarket shows a little resistance right now as well.

Today, Nikkei trended nicely to the upside to recover all the losses from the previous session. Evening session Nikkei is trading above previous day high.

 

There is a close correlation with the US markets and the Nikkei. On most occasions, the US markets will lead the Nikkei. If Dow, S&P closes positive... Nikkei is likely to gap up the next day and end positive as well.

 

However, yesterday was a range day with slight weakness. Nikkei gapped down slightly then broke out of its morning range to trend up all throughout the remainder of the day. This inverse relationship makes it interesting.

 

Todays Asian Markets: Hange Seng +1.61%, TOPIX +0.73%, Singapore +0.91%, Shanghai +2.58%

 

There is a good chance the Dow will break yesterdays high and move into higher value placement. Key pivot will remain at 13340. My bias is a potential rotation towards 13380's.

 

However, most importantly will be to see how price reacts at the US open around the 13340 area. (do not want to see prices retrace back below 13300)

Well Soultrader since everybody and his brother appear to be bullish, it could turn out to be an interesting day, hope there are no nasty surprises. when there is a general consensus, markets have a tendency to do opposite:roll eyes:

Hi Walter,

 

Thanks. Asian markets did gap up today. Usually on a big gap day the Nikkei does nothing but trade in a tight range. This is the reason this contract can be one of the most boring contract in the world.

 

Last year, most of the movements came in the form of gaps. Intraday movements were minimal.

 

Will see it plays out and will post a few thoughts for todays upcoming US session.

I see, so they dont have 24 hours market like the globex on US markets...

 

you mention that after gaps, they consolidate, would the oposite be true, if no mayor gap, they trend ?

It has been the case lately. Over the past 2 years up until around September of 2007 the Nikkei trended roughly 23% of the time intraday. However, since the credit crisis and the high volatility it has been trending at approx 35% intraday. (Taking September - Present 2007)

 

I havent done enough study on this yet but just from my observation for the past few months trends tend to occur more often when the gap is not that significant. The larger the gap, the less likely the Nikkei will move intraday.

 

Here is a snapshot of todays morning session on the Nikkei.

It shows approx 150yen gap up and then a complete range.

 

Below is the Dow chart showing the Tokyo session. Notice the similarities? The Nikkei is constantly on a leash by the US markets in my opinion.

Hi Walter,

 

I have found the biggest clue to be when there is an inverse relationship between the Asian and US markets. (except Shanghai)

 

The US markets it the leader so when the Nikkei moves up when the US fell the day before, this will bring optimism into the US session. Im watching for anything that is outside of the normal market behavior. (does not happen often)

James,

 

What data feed do I need in eSignal to watch the Asian markets each day to start to see a correlation to the US Equities?

 

Also, what times do they open and close? i heard they have an AM and PM session? or was that the DAX? :)

 

Any pointers on WHEN to trade this market, related to the EST-zone?

 

Thanks for the great work, it goes noticed!

Thanks Maverick. For the Nikkei you will need access to the Osaka Exchange (OSE) which I believe is like $3 a month.

 

The opening is at 9:00am to 11:00am and then from 12:30pm to 3:10pm Tokyo time. The evening session starts from 4:30pm to 7:00pm but not much liquidity yet.

 

The most active time for the Nikkei is from 9:00am to around 10:30am and then from 12:30pm to about 1:00pm and then again from 2:30pm to 3:10pm. (Tokyo time)

    • Why not to simply connect you account to myfxbook which will collect all this data automatically for you? The process you described looks tedious and a bit obsolete but may work for you though.
    • The big breakthrough with AI right now is “natural language computing.”   Meaning, you can speak in natural language to a computer and it can go through huge data sets, make sense out of them, and speak back to you in natural language.   That alone is a huge breakthrough.   The next leg? AI agents. Where they don’t just speak back to you.   They take action. Here’s the definition I like best: an AI agent is an autonomous system that uses tools, memory, and context to accomplish goals that require multiple steps.   Everything from simple tasks (analyzing web traffic) to more complex goals (building executive briefings or optimizing websites).   They can:   > Reason across multiple steps.   >Use tools like a real assistant (Excel spreadsheets, budgeting apps, search engines, etc.)   > Remember things.   And AI agents are not islands. They talk to other agents.   They can collaborate. Specialized agents that excel at narrow tasks can communicate and amplify one another’s strengths—whether it’s reasoning, data processing, or real-time monitoring.   What it Looks Like You wake up one morning, drink your coffee, and tell your AI agent, “I need to save $500 a month.”   It gets to work.   First, it finds all your recurring subscriptions. Turns out you’re paying $8.99 for a streaming service you forgot you had.   It cancels it. Then it calls your internet provider, negotiates a lower bill, and saves you another $40. Finally, it finds you car insurance that’s $200 cheaper per year.   What used to take you hours—digging through statements, talking to customer service reps on hold for an hour, comparing plans—is done while you’re scrolling Twitter.   Another example: one agent tracks your home maintenance needs and gets information from a local weather-monitoring agent. Result: "Rain forecast next week - should we schedule gutter cleaning now?"   Another: an AI agent will plan your vacations (“Book me a week in Italy for under $2,000”), find the cheapest flights, and sort out hotels with a view.   It’ll remind you to pay bills, schedule doctor’s appointments, and track expenses so you’re not wondering where your paycheck went every month.   The old world gave you tools—Excel spreadsheets, search engines, budgeting apps. The new world gives you agents who do the work for you.   Don’t Get Too Scared (or Excited) Yet William Gibson famously said: "The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed."   AI agents will distribute it. For decades, the tools that billionaires and corporations used to get ahead—personal assistants, financial advisors, lawyers—were out of reach for regular people.   AI agents could change that.   BUT, remember…   We’re in inning one.   AI agents have a ways to go.   They’re imperfect. They mess up. They need more defenses to get ready for prime time.   To be sure, AI is powerful, but it’s not a miracle worker. It’s great at helping humans solve problems, but it’s not going to replace all jobs overnight.   Instead of fearing AI, think of it as a tool to A.] save you time on boring stuff and B.] amplify what you’re already good at. Right now is the BEST time to start experimenting. It’s also the best time to find investments that will “make AI work for you”.

    • What a wild year.   AI seems to be appearing everywhere you look, Paris hosted a weird Olympics, unrest continues in the Middle East, the US endured a crazy-heated election, and the largest rocket ever to fly successfully landed in a giant pair of robot arms.   Okay, but what about the $money stuff?   Well, this year we've seen a load of uncertainty - inflation is still biting and many businesses have gone down.   Property has been very fractured, with developments becoming prohibitively expensive, while other markets have boomed.   It hasn't been an easy ride, that's for sure.   However, the stock market has had some outstanding results, and for those who know how to trade, some have done VERY well for themselves.   Some have replaced their incomes. Some have set themselves up for the rest of their days on this planet.   How about you? How did you go?
