Good Evening and I hope you are well.
nasdaq e-mini futures
comment: Beautiful bear channel and you should trade it until it’s clearly broken. We are going down but it’s weak selling. Bears barely get lower prices, even on increased volume. Means that there is also much scaling into longs for probably another big leg up.
current market cycle: Bull trend - very late and we are in the very last stage of it
key levels: 21000 - 21700
bull case: Bulls are keeping the market two sided, since the channel is shallow. Market closed only 80 points lower than yesterday. As long as bulls have strong pull backs in between, they are fine and they can scale into longs and make money. Bears have to take profits at new lows in fear of another big pull back higher. That is why we are mostly moving sideways, despite making lower lows and highs.
Invalidation is a daily close below 21000.
bear case: Bears are trying on increased volume but they are not doing enough damage to the bulls, to make more cover or prevent them from buying new lows. Bears can’t sell 21400 because we can easily test back up to the top of the channel. If bears are strong, they will keep it below 20500 tomorrow but I highly doubt that. I do think the high 21606 will hold. Trade the channel.
Invalidation is above 22000.
short term: Bullish for 21500ish. Maybe 21530. I favor one or two more legs down before Friday’s close. As of now with the structure we have, I can only imagine that we will see another full melt up from next week into year end. Maybe 22000. If this closes 2024 below 21000, consider me surprised big time.
medium-long term: Will update this over the weekend. 22000 is a possibility but a bit far for now. Daily close above 20500 would bring it in play. First target for Q1 2025 is 19000.
current swing trade: Nope
trade of the day: Selling near 21600 was perfect. Bears showed strength in that area and once we broke below 21540, market never looked back.
