S&P 500 (ES), it's nice to see a strong buying reaction at the price of 5114.00. There's a significant accumulation of contracts in this area, indicating strong buyer interest. I believe that buyers who entered at this level will defend their long positions. If the price returns to this area, strong buyers will likely push the market up again. The S/R zone from...
Trading Plan for Tuesday, May 7th, 2024 Market Sentiment: Bullish, but increasingly cautious following a strong breakout. The RSI is deeply overbought, increasing the risk of sudden pullbacks. Proceed with heightened awareness of volatility. Key Supports Immediate Supports: 5186-88 (major), 5163 (major) Major Supports: 5144-46 (major), 5060-65 (major) Key...
This video goes over tactics and strategies on how to trade on NFP day for ES and NQ.
Bull case on left, bear case on right. On the left, I think there are different ways to complete the move from 5333.50 to 4963.50, but for simplicity, I have just used a leading diagonal A, zigzag B, impulse wave C. From the low of 4963.50, it would appear that there are 4 distinct and overlapping impulse waves (with higher lows at 4991.25, 5022.25, and 5036.25),...
For ES1! bears, I'm looking at a double-three correction from low of 4963.50, with an expanded flat Y, to complete below 5194.25. For the flat, 3 is shorter than 1, so 5 needs to finish below 5194.25. As such, this count is invalid with price above 5194.25. Price is currently between .5 and .618 Fibonacci price points on the correction, so bears are definitely...
Watching UVIX break through its low of $8.37 this morning gives me confidence that market top is not in. The most bullish scenario now would see four separate impulse waves (in blue ellipses) since low of 4963.50. Pivots at 5022.25 and 5036.25 were both technical, bouncing off .618 fib levels. Bulls need to advance above 5200 with continued impulsive action, and...
The smaller range on Tuesday in the S&P 500 implies a loss of momentum and the market catching its breath. This structure means that if you're on the long side be cautious. The expectation is for sideways move.
Trading Plan for Monday, May 6th, 2024 Market Sentiment: Uncertain, with bulls seeking further confirmation after exceeding a major resistance level on Friday. Consolidation and complex, level-to-level price action are likely. Key Supports Immediate Supports: 5145-50 (major), 5136, 5116-13 (major) Major Supports: 5082-77 (major), 5067 (major), 5060...
IMPULSE AND CORRECTION: looking to catch a short trade at the mitigation of the 1hr time frame supply zone.
Bullish count on left, bearish count on right. Lots of gymnastics on the left, but it is still just a series of impulse waves up, with key higher low pivots held. There are different ways to interpret these impulse waves collectively, and the one I have chosen would get one complete impulse wave off low of 4963.50 to happen the quickest. Key price support at...
The structure in the S&P 500 for the last couple of days is actually a neutral zone trade which implies a sideways move however the structure on Wednesday implies a bias for moved to the upside on Thursday.
Here are my levels for the week. Same notes as NQ. I have been really busy outside trading so I have not been able to post many updates. I continue to trade these levels a few hours every morning. Treat the levels as as support, resistance or targets. The market is currently trading in a large consolidation pattern with large daily ranges. The levels noted are the...
RSI hit oversold at close yesterday, MFI still oversold. Guessing we get a Powell pump this afternoon, but watch out for teh whipsaw
WTF was that? LOL, Powell pump and dump in just one hour. I know I keep saying Fed days always whipsaw, but that was ridiculous. Futures up a little on QCOM earnings, Europe might bounce overnight, sold of hard this morning, more whipsaw. Anyways, it messed up the indicators, so no trading until things go overbought or oversold. Taking the rest of the week off.
On ES (S&P 500 Futures), it's nice to see a strong sell-off from the price of 5090 and 5128. It's also encouraging to observe a strong volume area where a lot of contracts are accumulated. I believe that sellers from this area will defend their short positions. When the price returns to this area, strong sellers will push the market down again. The downtrend...
Mentioned this in the NQ post, ES is not oversold yet on RSI or MFI. Recommend waiting until tomorrow to buy the dip, though gap direction may depend on earnings. AMZN tonight, QCOMM tomorrow, AAPL on Thu afternoon.
MFI overbought but RSI is not yet. Guessing pump and dump tomorrow, I'll wait.
Trading Plan for Thursday, May 2nd, 2024 Market Sentiment: Uncertain, with bulls holding a precarious position at a critical support level. Key Supports Immediate Supports: 5048-50 (major - note that this trendline rises daily), 5032, 5028 (major) Major Supports: 5010 (major), 4968 (major), 4938-42 (major) Key Resistances Near-term Resistance: 5077-82...
