It's also useful to point out here that when you see confluence of levels and you don't get any strong reaction, that potentially tells you something. Lack of a quick turnaround says to me that anyone looking to short there saw that relatively strong push up and is waiting to see whether any more buying comes in before taking the trade...

Debt crisis: live

 

As this link shows, there are a number of EU issues overnight. ECB President Mario Draghi is speaking now, Obama is speaking on middle class tax breaks @ 11:50 ET and then there's Williams and Nowotny later too. The Spanish borrowing cost puts the EU summit in focus again as last time they commited to plan to plan a way of reducing sovereign debt yields. I suppose markets would like to hear more positive speak from there. We are also kicking off Q2 earnings this week with Alcoa due to report after close today and Google, JP Morgan and Wells Fargo later in the week. There's also Fed minutes on Wednesday which we'll be watching for any indication of more QE.

 

Friday held a good level at 41.75 stopping 2 ticks short and rallied into close. Below 41.75 is a big gap to 23.25. Interestingly, the 27.2% extension of the 5 day balance falls exactly at the half gap at 34.75. Looking above if we are strong, 57 is a price I'd watch to see if it can be broken followed by the gap close to 61.75. Above there and if 69.50 is taken we could make inroads into re-establishing in the upper balance from right hand chart and close gap to 79.50. We'll see.

Forgot to mention that there's not a great deal due for release eco fig-wise this week and also financials looked to hold a little strength friday. Will be interesting to see if this is also the case today.

Bought the 1342.50 IBL test of lows... hoping it goes to gap fill.

 

Wait and see mode

 

Volume really thin (light) this RTH session so far. No evidence of larger traders taking a position.

 

Scratched one long trade after I missed my short earlier.

 

This is the only thing I have going so far.

Me too. Liked the snap to the 41.75 but didn't like the double tap on it. Not sure whether they might not retry the lower gap at some point. Doesn't have to be today though. Open/Overnight VPOC important now.

I have added back 1/2 to my long at 1344.25 Moved stop up to BE on both.

 

Update: Out at BE on last part of the trade. Selloff continues which is a bit surprising but not that much as the volume of larger players is definitely lacking here.

I think really there were two things I noted as to why I wasn't confident on the push higher in that move. One was that despite a push through vwap/mid and reasonable delta, we didn't even get a test of the open/overnight vpoc. Two was that once it fell back to vwap/mid, every time we attempted a few ticks higher, prices went back offered quickly. That said to me that there was some unloading going on and given that we'd already failed to push higher, it looked pretty negative. We've only broken a few ticks so far though, but realistically I'm thinking we could go further. :2c:

You're right.

 

Had another long signal at 1341.75 which was nice but missed it as I was having lunch.

 

The first down swing off the open went for 6.25 pts. This last down move stopped at 6.0 pts.

 

The first push up that after the IBL was 5.25. Let's see what this one does when and if it gets there.

I think it's possible either way now. The break of 41.75 and IB low didn't get far, but then buying isn't exactly strong right now. We're butting up against the vwap/vpoc right now and if that goes we could see a stronger push up. Below 41.00, although there's the gap to be concerned with, there's also possibly some singles support on the MP down to ~38.00 so any longs could 'let' them try to sell it a little further. That could see a proper break or trapped shorts if it rejects quickly. We'll see.

 

Edit: forgot to say although vwap/vpoc holding, probably needs midpoint to break if to move higher.

Dollar index is also showing a little weakness. Either that could motivate buyers and we'll move up, or if the offers hold firm, as soon as there's a retrace in the $ there could be an attempt lower in ES...

Long again at 42.50. Just can't seem to get short today?

 

I'll be having an itchy trigger finger if we get to 5.25 pts up on this push around 46.25... watching for a quick exit.

My new target is 45.75 and if it takes out 47 then looking for 49.50 and above to Settlement.

 

First it needs to get thru 44.50 though

 

UPDATE 13:28 EDT 1st Target hit

Of course, I would like to thank you because this thread and your analysis have been very helpful.

 

Cheers! Definitely lots of others who do (inc you) and have in the past posted good info. Looks like you're getting that move back up now perhaps.

      The main goal of this thread is to show what Power Trades is and how it works in different markets. We will show some patterns on the ES and NQ futures, as well as discuss possible improvements to this functionality.
      What is Power Trades?
      Ok, first we will consider what the Power Trades is and how it finds zones.
      Power Trades shows the zones with the execution of a large number of orders in a very short time, which will affect the price change with a high probability.
      Here are a few examples of how it looks like


      How it finds zones?
      There is a continuous process of placing, changing and executing orders in the market. All this affects the price change and the expectations of traders regarding the future price.
      When a large order appears at a certain level, the price is more likely to come to this order and it will be executed because the market is always looking for levels with liquidity. This already applies to the order flow and the mechanics of orders matching, so we will omit the principles on which the orders are matched.
      It is only important to understand that "abnormal events" occur in the market at certain times. Execution of a significant volume of orders in a very short time is one of such events.
      The Power Trades Scanner has several important settings that directly affect the results:

      Total Volume — the minimum value of the volume that should be traded during the specified time interval
      Time Interval, sec — the time over which the Total Volume should be traded
      Basis Volume Interval, sec — this parameter shows how much % took the traded volume in the total volume for the specified time.
      Zone Height, ticks — this parameter will show only those zones where the height is less than or equal to the specified value (in ticks).
      Level2 level count — the number of levels that are involved in the calculation of Imbalance and the Level 2 Ratio column in the table of results.
      Filter by Delta,% — the parameter will show zones that have a delta value greater than or equal to that specified in the setting. The value must be specified by the module, so the table will show both positive and negative delta values. We recommend paying attention to the zones with the delta above 50% (taking into account the specifics of each trading instrument).
      For example, let's set the Total Volume of 2000 contracts and Time Interval in 3 seconds on the E-mini SP500 futures. This means that the scan will be based on the available history and will show on the chart only those zones that have such a volume for the specified time.

      Additionally, it is worth to set a delta value to filter out the zones with one-side trades. The more delta value, the high probability that the price will reverse.

      So, as a starting point about this scanner, I think this information will be enough

      Hi everyone,
      This is my maiden analysis using volume profile - so please don't hesitate to share your feedback.
      As per the attached analysis, I think that SPY is primed for a short - for many reasons
      - Multiple strong rejection of long positions exist at Resistance R1 and R2 : seems like sellers defending their positions
      - Very strong short volume seen at R2 : further signifying sellers who are ready at that level
      However, once the price reaches Support S1, there seems to be a strong buying sentiment which has rejected previous shorts. You can see trading ranges & pullbacks to S1 where buyers and sellers seem to agree on a price range, often leading to a buyer dominance.
      What do you think?

    • It depends. If you have lots of money that you can buy a house without a loan and if you don't have any parents to sponsor then it is a good idea. Otherwise it might be a bad idea depending where in Canada you are heading to. I earned a good middle income in my home country and I migrated to Vancouver 5 years ago at the age of 35. I had to start right from the bottom, lowest of the low.. Now i am finally earning a middle income in Canada but I still cannot afford to buy a one bedroom apartment. Having left behind friends, family and home, most of the times I think it is not worth it.   In short, do not migrate if you already have a good life in your home country and you are happy. Only migrate to Canada if you really have to leave your home country say there is a war or something really bad. Discrimination still exists here and its really tough for newcomers unless you are super rich. Good luck. David Chong, Quora  
    • This is bigger than the internet. Bigger than mobile. Bigger than social media.   While everyone was distracted by stock market fluctuations and political theater…   Most people have NO IDEA what just happened last week with ChatGPT.   Their new memory feature allows ChatGPT to remember EVERYTHING about you across all your conversations.   Think about that for a minute...   While most tech companies have been collecting mere breadcrumbs about you - your likes, your clicks, your browsing history - OpenAI is now collecting the most valuable dataset in human history: your complete psychological profile.   This is Zuckerberg x 5,000.   The more you use ChatGPT, the more it understands you, becoming a supercharged reflection of yourself that improves at an exponential rate.   Are you a regular ChatGPT user?   Consider whether it’s time to turn off the “you can train on my information” feature. To prevent your data from being used for training while still using the memory feature:   Disable Model Training: Navigate to Settings > Data Controls. Toggle off "Improve the model for everyone". Manage Memory Settings: Go to Settings > Personalization > Memory. Here, you can: Turn off memory entirely. Delete specific memories. Use Temporary Chat for sessions that won't be saved or used for training. Now the investment implications…   Why This is Bigger Than You Think Consider this: the relationship between humans and ChatGPT is evolving beyond a mere tool.   People are now treating these AI assistants as friends, confidants, and even romantic partners.   I'm not making this up - there are already documented cases of people ending real human relationships to pursue “connections” with their AI companions.   A viral Instagram meme shows a person going through life with a glowing, featureless humanoid figure - representing ChatGPT - as their companion.   The post has over 1.1 million likes and comments like "Bro ChatGPT is like my best friend. Ain't even ashamed to say it" with 25,000 likes.   But here's where things get really interesting for investors and entrepreneurs...   Three Things to Watch For starters, hardware is the next big thing for the big players.   The iPhone form factor is dead.   It hasn't meaningfully changed in nearly a decade. The next evolution in hardware will be designed specifically to interface with these AI companions.   OpenAI is already working on hardware with Johnny Ive, the legendary designer behind the iPhone and iPod. But you can’t ignore Elon Musk’s edge here.   So what does all of this mean for you?   The companies that control the personal AI relationships will be worth trillions. OpenAI and Elon Musk will have the coziest moats. We're witnessing the birth of a new internet - one built on agents that can communicate with each other across platforms. Google's new agent-to-agent protocol allows AI agents to work together without sharing internal memories or tools. The hardware companies that create the perfect interface for these AI companions will dominate the next decade of technology. And almost nobody is talking about what this means.   My prediction? Within five years, most people will have a personal AI that knows them better than anyone else. And they will interact with it in ways that seem foreign today.   (And, yes, it will almost certainly have dystopian elements.)   In the meantime, the biggest gains won’t come from household names. And, right now, James is seeing a prime opportunity to invest in the most under-the-radar plays in AI…   For dirt cheap. By Chris C.
