Only now all the numbers are different due to the RO. In any case, that initial long trade yesterday was quick, easy, and profitable. But then we hit resistance and the long side was done. If one was able to find a good short entry and hold onto it, he did even better. However, short entries were not nearly as clean.

 

This goes back to what I was saying -- or trying to -- about going long in a downtrend even though the market may be "oversold". There's much more to push against in this situation, so using the opposite side of whatever channel there may be is over-optimistic. This is not to say that there won't be profitable long trades, as was the case yesterday. But one must be especially attentive to signs that there's just too much supply for demand to absorb and break through.

 

I thought that yesterday eliminated a lot of supply at resistance and now we would be even more oversold .

Since supply won the day, I wouldn't say that a lot of it was eliminated.

 

In any case, the problem with the ES now is that it's under the trading range which was established Wednesday. The NQ is stuck between the bottom of one trading range and the top of another. The long side may be a difficult row to hoe.

Fortunately, FW posted the first one in real time:

This isn't a box, of course, but it does illustrate a different type of range-bound compression, which is what the boxes are all about anyway.

Bearbull, what considerations would have you be sure the probability was to the downside?

erie

 

Combination of factors:

Resistance from the left, climatic vol. first around 1960 on the 12th , then around 1980 for the 13th June.

 

One could enter at dead centre (Wyckoff term) prior to breakout, with very small stop loss or wait for a breakout with increased vol and a slight retracement (No demand in VSA jargon) on a limit entry.

I don't trust hinges and triangles that much. Seen to many of them fake and fail in my time.

Goes with any setup, depends on the context, wyckoff employed it to great advantage, that is good enough for me.

Regarding resistance, there are several ways of looking at it. One can, for example, plot a volume distribution (the hinge is circled):

 

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=9320&stc=1&d=1233768840

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=7096&stc=1&d=1213546274

 

Drawing a line below the bottom of the middle distribution gives one a zone on which to focus, particularly when price opens below this zone (price also opened below this zone the previous day, leading to another profitable trade):

 

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=9321&stc=1&d=1233768912

 

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=7097&stc=1&d=1213546343

 

Or one can draw a box around the congestion:

 

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=9322&stc=1&d=1233768912

 

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=7098&stc=1&d=1213546343

 

Or one can use plain ol' S/R lines, noting the test of the previous day's high:

 

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=9323&stc=1&d=1233768912

 

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=7099&stc=1&d=1213546343

 

All ways of illustrating the same thing. And it doesn't require special software.:)

The first two are OK in hindsight, but don't seem very practical in real time.

 

It would be difficult to post Wednesday's and Thursday's action ahead of time, but this is what one would have plotted Tuesday evening, if he were to plan out all of this in advance, which is, after all, the whole point.

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=7102&stc=1&d=1213578744

 

The support and resistance levels for tomorrow, as well as the midpoints, are now done, in the previous post (though the truly prepared will want to include Friday). Anyone who's noted them can now plan out his trades. In advance.

 

As to the first two being "OK", all four present the same information.

That was "OK in hindsight," the operative word being hindsight.

 

And, as I said, all four present the same information. In any case, if you're interested, here's what you should have for today, at minimum. If you don't know in advance what you're going to do at each point, then you're not prepared.

1370-71 may be an anticipated level for tommorrow , resistance wise...

erie

 

 

I was basically looking at the same yesterday, which I why I was surprised to see the NQ hit resistance but the ES stay behind. Might be worth following both next to eachother, I've often found breakouts to be far more reliable when the corresponding resistance level on a correlated market is breached simultaneously.

You incorporated a breakout strategy for yesterday? Hmm, maybe that's something I should give more thought.......

I think it's always good to be aware of potential breakouts, but what I was really trying to point out was the divergence between the ES and the NQ.

 

Now, with about 45 minutes before the open, the ES has touched 1972 and reacted off it (albeit on news), moving about 5 points higher than yesterday's high. At the same time the NQ hasn't moved free of the resistance. So it looks like both markets are trading at or below resistance, which - at least for me - would help increase the odds of a successful short if resistance is rejected.

Rejection being 1366?

No the question was rejection being 1366? ( your definition of rejection )

 

Ehm, I'm not sure we are still talking about the same thing here :\

I don't see anything special about 1366, so I don't pay much attention to that level, hence the only rejection I would look for occurs at or near resistance.

      Hey guys , what are the main things you look for to detect if the consolidation area is accumulating or distributing ? 
      1 ) I see springs in top , still markup happens and it becomes accumulation area and vice versa
      2) There is lots of volume absorption in support line and still markdown occurs.
      3) sometimes in market high / low it becomes re-accumulation  / re-distribution
      Is there any clear way to find it ?

      Hello everyone!
      I am an advanced trader, with many years of experience (about 15 years - 10 living exclusively from this)
      I am going to give you some tips that you must know:
      There are going to be many people who tell you that trade is easy, that with only crossiing a line  with another one you will win a lot of money.... and that´s not true.  No, Sir, reality is far away from that. Many people who start arrive here with the hope that someone "gives them" a free method, they watch youtube videos thinking that this will give them the "strategy" and in a few days they realize that it does not work for them - they lose money - and then They go looking for a new one ... and so on. YES, IT´S TRUE YOU EARN IN TRADING, A LOT. BUT THINK: for a few to win (10% + any BROKER) many others must lose (90% people). YOU MUST HAVE A MONEY MANAGMENT FORMULA ( you can email me) People study so many years to live on this, not because they are dumb, but to know what they do, when, and have absolute effectiveness. It´s very easy to get lost here: do not disperse, jumping from one to another strategy WILL NEVER give you money, it will only waste your time and make you nervous when trading. PEOPLE WHO CHANGE THEIR METHOD CONSTANTLY : LOOOOSE ALWAYS.   If you have the knowledge to develop it, take your time and do it.  Always try it first on DEMO for at least 2 weeks! If not: search to buy a solid strategy (no you tube videos pleassse ! Avoid losing money! ) This is like any business, it requires some capital to start (capital = money in the broker + solid made /purchased strategy) If you are lost: I RECOMMEND YOU NOT TO WASTE TIME IN YOUTUBE, JOIN PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCE AND IF YOU ARE GOING TO BUY A METHOD ... PLEASE !!!! DO NOT BUY 10 BAD AND CHEAP METHODS, SAVE MONEY AND BUY ONLY 1 BUT EXCLUSIVE AND MUST ALLWAYS HAVE SUPPORT !!!!!  Do not buy Signals! They never keep up with constant profits! One week will win and the next will lose. Nothing that does not depend absolutely on you will give you the money you are looking for. And if you do not have a strategy (made or purchased) do not even try PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE: DO NOT USE REAL MONEY! AT LEAST 2 WEEK DEMO FREE HELP HERE!!!!!  IF YOU FOLLOW MY ADVICE YOU WILL BE PART OF THAT 10% WINNER, email me.
      Have a nice trading day

    • Date: 2nd April 2025.   Market on Edge: Tariff Announcement and Volatility Ahead!   The US economic and employment data continues to deteriorate with the job vacancies figures dropping to a 5-month low. In addition to this, the IMS Manufacturing PMI also fell below expectations. However, both the US Dollar and Gold declined simultaneously following the release of the two figures, an uncommon occurrence in the market. Traders expect a key factor to be today’s ‘liberation day’ where the US will impose tariffs on imports. USDJPY - Traders Await Tariff Confirmation! Traders looking to determine how the USDJPY will look today will find it difficult to determine until the US confirms its tariff plan. Today is the day when Trump previously stated he would finalize and announce his tariff plan. The administration has not yet released the policy, but investors expect it to be the most expansionary in a century. President Trump is due to speak at 20:00 GMT. On HFM's Calendar the speech is stated as "US Liberation Day Tariff Announcement". Currently, analysts are expecting Trump’s Tariff Plan to impose tariffs on the EU, chips and pharmaceuticals later today as well as reciprocal tariffs. Economists have a good idea of how these tariffs may take effect, but reciprocal tariffs are still unspecified. In addition to this, 25% tariffs on the car industry will start tomorrow. The tariffs on the foreign cars industry are a factor which will particularly impact Japan. Although, traders should note that this is what is expected and is not yet finalised. Last week, President Trump stated that he would implement retaliatory tariffs but allow exemptions for certain US trade partners. Treasury Secretary Mr Bessent and National Economic Council Director Mr Hassett suggested that the restrictions would primarily target 15 countries responsible for the bulk of the US trade deficit. However, yesterday, Trump contradicted these statements, asserting that additional duties would be imposed on any country that has implemented similar measures against US products. The day’s volatility will depend on which route the US administration takes. The harshness of the policy will influence both the Japanese Yen as well as the US Dollar.   USDJPY 5-Minute Chart   US Economic and Employment Data The JOLT Job Vacancies figure fell below expectations and is lower than the previous month’s figure. The JOLT Job Vacancies read 7.57 million whereas the average of the past 6 months is 7.78 million. The ISM Manufacturing Index also fell below the key level of 50.00 and was 5 points lower than what analysts were expecting. The data is negative for the US Dollar, particularly as the latest release applies more pressure on the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates. However, this is unlikely to happen if the trade policy ignites higher and stickier inflation. In the Bank of Japan’s Governor's latest speech, Mr Ueda said that the tariffs are likely to trigger higher inflation. USDJPY Technical Analysis Currently, the Japanese Yen Index is the worst performing of the day while the US Dollar Index is more or less unchanged. However, this is something traders will continue to monitor as the EU session starts. In the 2-hour timeframe, the USDJPY is trading at the neutral level below the 75-bar EMA and 100-bar SMA. The RSI and MACD is also at the neutral level meaning traders should be open to price movements in either direction. On the smaller timeframes, such as the 5-minute timeframe, there is a slight bias towards a bullish outcome. However, this is only likely if the latest bearish swing does not drop below the 200-Bar SMA.     The key resistant level can be seen at 150.262 and the support level at 149.115. Breakout levels are at 149.988 and 149.674. Key Takeaway Points: Job vacancies hit a five-month low, and the ISM Manufacturing PMI missed expectations, adding pressure on the Federal Reserve regarding interest rate decisions. Traders await confirmation on Trump’s tariff policy, which is expected to impact the EU, chips, pharmaceuticals, and foreign car industries. The severity of the tariffs will influence both the JPY and the USD, with traders waiting for final policy details. The Japanese Yen Index is the worst index of the day while the US Dollar Index is unchanged. Always trade with strict risk management.
