Good Evening and I hope you are well.
comment: I don’t know what’s more likely to happen tomorrow and every time I feel that way, market is in a trading range and most likely neutral. Big up, big down, big confusion. Read some Al Brooks. Volume was big today but given that bears only managed to close 60 points below Wednesday, what did they achieve? RTH session closed the gap but not more. Futures obviously had a nasty reversal but we can still draw a decent bull wedge with lows either 21300 or 21100 and that would mean bulls would be favored to trade back up.
current market cycle: trading range
key levels: 21000 - 22000
bull case: Bulls who want to buy 21400 would likely need a stop 20700 and scale in. Is this a good trade? I don’t think so. You either wait for better confirmation that today’s low is credible and will hold or you wait for lower prices closer to 21000 before going long. I doubt this bull wedge will just end like this and that we top out with 21858. I expect at least some form of double top with a print up to 21700 or higher. The middle of the current range is 21300 and market bottomed out there today. Maybe this fact makes it a bit more favorable for the bulls.
Invalidation is below 21300.
bear case: Below 21300 bears could try to go for 21000 or even last weeks low at 20727. How likely is that? Today’s selling was very strong and it was at the moment everything was max bullish and perfect aligned. You do not see these type of reversals in a strong bull trend. We are very likely in the last days of it before we go down lower. That being said, I just don’t think we will go down further from here without another try of 21800+. I have two potential bull wedges on my chart and bears would need a strong move below 21300 and stay around 21000 for me to abandon that structure.
Invalidation is above 22100.
short term: Neutral and need a very good signal to either side for me to take it. Bears want 21000 and bulls at least 21800. My line in the sand is 21300.
medium-long term - Update from 2024-05-24: Will update this section more after the coming week but in general the thesis is as for dax. Down over the summer and sideways to up into year end. I don’t think the lows for this year are in.
trade of the day: Buying Globex open was the obvious trade but shorting the highs certainly was not and I think everyone was surprised by this bear strength today.
