Good Evening and I hope you are well.
comment: Very good trend by the bears but the close was bad for them. Giant tail below this daily bar and if they can not keep the market from retracing more than this 50%, we could reverse this to test 18200+ again. If we stay below 18000, I heavily favor the bears but for now I’m rather neutral and assess where we are before EU opens tomorrow.
current market cycle: bear trend continues for now
key levels: 16000 - 18500
bull case: Bulls need to break above the 50% retracement for today and can then continue higher to test the upper bear channel line around 18300. Any tariff news could get us there but todays news were bad at best. Bulls don’t have much until they reverse this day and claim 18170 again.
Invalidation is below 17700.
bear case: Bears got the breakout below and are on their way of retesting the lows but they have the problem, that we have not seen two consecutive decent trend days since 3 weeks ago when we sold from 20000. So what are the odds of another strong bear day tomorrow? Very low. Best for bears would be, if they kept the market below the 50% pb from today below 17940. This would leave a giant open gap and increase the odds of continuation down. Right now the bear channel down is very broad and I don’t think many bears will hold above 18000 and a decent bar above the 1h 20ema. If today was indeed the acceleration of this potential W5, we should see another strong trend day tomorrow and go for 17000.
Invalidation is above 18050ish.
short term: Bearish if we stay below 18000. Right now channel is broad and could go up to 18300. 1h 20ema should be latest resistance by the bears or we will likely test 18200 or 18300. If we continue down, next support is 17400, then my measured move target around 17250 and below is 17000.
medium-long term - Update from 2024-04-20: My most bearish target for 2025 was 17500ish, given in my year-end special. We had the clear W1 and W3 but now it’s messy.
trade of the day: Short from Globex open.
