Profile
S&P 500 emini futures day trade ideas for Monday, May 16Although I do not have access to a Market Profile indicator on TradingView , I've shaded in the areas (on a 30 minute bar chart) where I see two separate distributions from Friday's double distribution trend day selloff.
If the market opens Monday in the lower distribution, I would look to enter a day trade short if price rallies to the high of this balance and fails, re-entering the lower distribution below 2047.75 with a stop above 2049.25 (back inside the upper distribution). There is also a single print at 2051.25 and may be a more attractive spec short, as that level could be considered the "spike base" from Friday's earlier 3rd period low.
Short targets would initially be Friday's low, and possibly to test last week's low at 2033.75. If that weekly low fails it opens up the possibility of trading down to 2026.00, which below that would stop the one time-framing higher on the monthly bar.
If price opens Monday in Friday's upper distribution ideally I would look for a long entry if price trades down to 2047.75 with a small stop just back into that lower distribution, with initial profit target of 2058.75 - where mechanically two 30 minute periods sold off from (mechanical because it was Thursday's close).
With declining NYSE volume Friday of 3.5 billion, Friday's selloff could be attributed more to weekly options expiration, and the market could be very short. With any trade monitor for continuation, and look out for a possible short covering rally.
USDJPY: UpdateHere's my updated view on USDJPY.
We have a few interesting resistance levels ahead, but overall, the pair is looking up, receiving a strong boost thanks to Mr. Mario Draghi's magic words, and the Nikkei rally before it.
Low volume resistance at 121.7 may halt the advance, keep that in mind.
I'm in other related trades, I'll try to balance these positions by trading NZDUSD, AUDUSD, and USDCAD.

Ethereum: Portfolio strategyI'm applying this strategy to my holdings, it's based on Tim West's ideas, which I already quoted in my previous ETHXBT charts.
I added the weekly profile chart to illustrate the fair value areas, as well as the instante rejection/low time spent at price support and resistance, where larger players liquidated (and bought in).
If ETHXBT gives us a bullish signal and we observe higher volume, we can start to predict direction, for now, it remains ranging around the mode.
So, buy low, sell high applies.
Cheers,
Ivan.
