Another green day for the challenge account, ended up with about $94 total P&L for the session. Most of it was made on a QQQ long and took a small loss on PYPL. I got over these trades and talk about my expectations for CPI tomorrow.

A strong end to Q4 Window dressing by fund managers who were underweight equities would trigger a cup handle pattern breaking the trendline of the pattern is around 4600 on the #ES I could also make an argument for HVF pattern we have a high 3 in place A recession will no doubt rear it's head at some point ... but a blow off top first to hand bears a...
Going over the price action from Sunday night till the morning session ES looking for clues and reviewing to see any clues that were left by the market.
Here are the levels I'm using this week. Key things to watch are the PPI & CPI data as well as earnings from big retailers WMT and HD. Powell also speaks this week on Tuesday. Bullish momentum continues but NQ is coming into a completion zone for a bearish Harmonic at the 886 Fib. Potential bullish momo into that level then heavy resistance. SUMMARY ES posted...
Buyers return to the S&P 500 and Friday's market action. The challenge now will be the expectation of follow through to the upside on Monday. Friday's price action implies that Thursday and Friday's market movement was buyers selling to take profits.
Can the sellers that appeared in Friday session in the S&P 500 follow through to the downside on Monday or was the selling buyer selling to take profits before the weekend. Monday's price action will give us answers to these questions.
Last Week : Last week we opened up around the Mean of 5182.50 - 5115.75 Value. Consolidated around the Mean, built up supply and eventually started moving for the Spike Base, lower Edge and lower ranges VAH to fill those areas out but every time we hit VAH we found a bid there which would hold us over and that would bring in new buying to keep pushing us back...
Not going to go into this too deeply but as you can see, we made a higher high on Friday and are currently hitting resistance at the upper extremity of the zig zag channel. Price has also been consolidating in a riding wedge pattern, which could mean we could soon see a move to the downside. It also appears that the inverse is happening with TVC:DXY where the...
Got stupid overbought and only a small dip today. I'll just wait it out and see if it cycles to oversold. Decided to relocate so I've been busy trying to finish up projects at home. Don't really have time to watch the market.
The structure on Thursday in the S&P 500 daily chart implies the possibility of a strong close on Friday as we go into the weekend. Ideally would be a close above 5260 to 5265
ES has just opened and I believe we could continue up to truly close the 2HR FVG at 5257. So far we are making continuous bullish candlestick patterns. If we can maintain support at 5234, we can test the upside before retracing back down to 5220.
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.
Last weeks levels provided to be partly actionable and price has immediately responded (See attached post). Comfortable holding this 50% long position with stop/target untouched. Will be looking for opportunities to buy the other 50% and increase risk as I'm confident in the bullish sentiment after last weeks Feds statement. I hold an underlying belief that the...
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.
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...
It appears that the S&P 500 price action indicates the market is adjusting to the outlook that interest rate cuts may happen later in the year. The expectation would be another day higher on Tuesday but not a large range. The estimate for the high would be 5225 to 2530.
