Asian markets extremely weak today with a solid downtrend. Every attempt of support and bounce was immediately followed by a new wave of selling. Seems big boys are in need to liquidate today. Goes for Japan, Hang Seng, and Kospi.

 

Could be a reaction from the US yesterday..... but to gap down and sell off entirely, is fairly weak which could transfer over to the US. Nikkei did hold at key 13,000 level but will watch to see if it breaks during the evening session. Hang Seng was a monster today... selling off like crazy. (interesting market btw)

 

Not seeing any form of accumulation... though it appeared around early afternoon only to be sold into strength again towards the close. Heads up guys.

Thanks for that info... interestingly enough, despite yesterday's wild swings which seemed to confirm support and head off higher, we are again much lower premarket and close to yesterday's lows.

 

I agree with your sentiment. Each attempt is immediately followed by a strong U-turn sending us lower again. It's also worth mentioning the ES made new lows yesterday while the DOW and NQ did not.

Anyone want to hazard a guess as to where this will stop ?:confused:

 

I think there hasn't been the typical capitulation and sellers aren't completely flushed out yet. I have 10750-10850 as potential major support.

Yes but we have not closed below 11200 yet, having made the lows. A close below on the daily will accelerate the run to sub 11k imo.

thanks foale, its working really well at the moment, just been buying ftse aug longs on the dips, at levels between 5350 and 5450ish, aiming for 50 points on each one, but will take more if it looks possible. Also, if it goes against me i can hold them for longer. Its less stressful (for me) too.

Hi Taz, to be honest I am just using a 15min chart with RSI, Stoch, MACD and MA's/Bolly bands. I have recently adopted a contract trade approach so buying at prices that i feel are good value based on the above indicators. With oil coming down i feel a rally could be possible. Trader Tom talked about the 500 day cycle which is about now so I am favouring the long side. Also, when stock markets are headline news in papers and TV i tend to see that as a long signal, as by the time that news becomes mainstream its already been priced in. Still learning really, though very pleased with that entry at 5410!!

I agree, had a look at them when Tom H has posted them. Think they are probably too emotionally detached so dont really rate them. If it was that easy everyone would follow them and win!

Sounds idiotic to say so now...but I was expecting an upward break this evening...but was out since 7pm...should have left something on with a stop I suppose...

 

Dunno why I have a set up that separately tracks the bigger swings to be traded via Contract trades and I am not doing it so....

 

When I get the next signal I am going to post it...Perhaps if it them moves..95 points...I will be so fed up I might take the position....next time.

 

Today 12 trades 1 loser...

    • Date: 26th November 2024. Trump’s tariff threats boosted Dollar; Peso, Loonie, Gold & Oil Lower. The Trump trade picked up steam as investors cheered his pick for Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent. Beliefs he will be a steadying voice in the administration’s fiscal measures, while still following President-elect Trump’s tariff and tax commitments, underpinned. Asia & European Sessions:   Trump threatened on Monday to impose sweeping new tariffs on China, Canada and Mexico on his first day as US President to crack down on illegal immigration and drugs. He would impose a 25% tax on all products entering the country from Canada and Mexico, and an additional 10% tariff on goods from China as one of his first acts as president of the US. Bessent’s 3-3-3 plan aims to cut the deficit to 3% of GDP, boost growth to 3%, and increase oil production to 3 mln barrels. Treasury yields dove in a curve flattener, extending their drops through the session, on expectations inflation will decelerate. A strong 2-year auction also supported. The Dow led the charge, climbing 0.99% to 44,736, a new record peak as the rally broadens. The S&P500 climbed to 6020, a session peak, but finished with a 0.3% gain to 5987. The NASDAQ closed 0.27% higher. Today, stock markets in Europe are posting broad losses, with the DAX down -0.6%, the FTSE 100 0.4%, after a largely weaker close across Asia. ECB: Lane suggests ECB must be open-minded on speed of rate cuts. The ECB’s Chief Economist said in a speech on Monday evening that “remaining open-minded about the speed and scale of adjustments is in fact a valuable strategy across various environments, as different situations may necessitate distinct approaches.” This careful, step-by-step strategy enables us to observe the responses of the economy to our decisions and continuously refine our understanding of their impacts.” The comments leave the door open to a 50 bp move in December, but also tie in with our expectation that the central bank will deliver a 25 bp while tweaking the forward guidance and commit to additional moves. Financial Markets Performance: The USDIndex hit a session high of 107.50 and is currently lower at 106.85. Mexican peso and Canadian dollar slumped as the dollar is being viewed as a haven after the comments of President-elect Donald Trump on tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China. USDCAD spiked to 1.4177 and USDMXN rallied to 20.74. Oil and Gold lost ground, in part on cooling geopolitical risks, and on Trump trades. Oil dropped -3.03% to $69.09 per barrel, in part on the Trump trade and on talk of a potential cease fire between Israel and Hezbollah. Similarly, gold fell -3.26% to $2605 per ounce.
