Evidence That Dow Jones Moves Based On FOMC ReleasesI can clearly see the support and resistance levels are formed STRICTLY based on the 8 hour chart and the FOMC releases. Just the September FOMC release alone accounted for the support and resistance levels for up to 3 months. Every 1/2 range expansion of the FOMC high/low represents a nice level to trade off of. These levels were planned out ahead of time. Take a good look at the below screenshot of just ONE 8-hour candle for FOMC dictated the entire support and resistance levels, way ahead of time. This entire Trump rally was planned ahead of time using September's FOMC levels.

MYM1! Bullish Price Action for 10/31 This week’s overall trend for CBOT_MINI:MYM1! appears bearish, but during the NY session, we’re seeing strong bullish moves, often exceeding 200+ ticks. Given this pattern and the respected supply zone, I anticipate similar price action tomorrow (10/31). I plan to enter at the 8:30 CST open, aiming for a 250-tick gain, and then sell as price reaches the supply area for a target of 280 ticks. This is my first posted idea, so let’s hope it plays out as expected. Let’s collect those ticks!

Dow Jones Futures November GameplanWhat I see is that the market is still in a bearish correction phase. I was wrong about it trying to bounce off of the September FOMC High. November 1st is Non Farm Payrolls November 5th is Election Day November 7th is FOMC. This is the most important day of the month. November 13th is CPI November 28th is Thanksgiving I am really curious as to where price will be on November 7th on FOMC. I won't really know until I see that candle. To me, what is happening is countertrend bearish into support. Trying to form a bottom at 41,300 and then bounce off of that support. I am curious to see if price will get within a hair of the July FOMC purple line but NOT break it. I bet that this price is defended and will not get touched. Using range expansion of the top, I have it in 0.5 increments. Price is still in a downtrend. It was forming a consolidation between 0.5 and 1.0 before the next leg of the downtrend fell through. It is now currently in-between 1.5 and 2.0. Price seems to be forming resistance levels at the half levels and support levels at the whole levels. 2.5 times range expansions are the Dow's favorite to hit before reversing. I am expecting price to hit the green line and NOT BREACH the purple FOMC level from July.

Dow Jones Futures Bullish Move Into Resistance 450 Ticks 10 to 1I will be looking for a Long entry with a limit order at the price of 42,420 which is the High price of the September FOMC. I will use a 50 tick stop and target the resistance level of 42,975. I believe this week will be bullish as the down move from earlier was counter trend. I closed my short position on Friday with the expectation that price will bounce off of September's FOMC High. Sunday, price opened up with a fat bullish bar and gapped up 0.30% right out of the gate. This tells me that they are going for shorts back up to grab stops and retrace. The space between resistance is a huge clue for me that this is where they are targeting. The 42,975 price was used as support multiple times but not as resistance. The three pushes into the September's FOMC High indicates the down move may be the end and the move opposite is in way. Since the high was made during the September FOMC release, it has not been used as a solid support level. It was only used as a mean reversion level that price has been mean reverting around.

Re Entry Into FOMC High Support Trade 7 to 1 350 ticksThis post will be an update to my prior post regarding bullish price action back up to take out pivot highs. Monday and Tuesday has been using the FOMC High price, notated in green line as a solid support level. The last twenty minutes of the day saw a spike off of it into the close. Using Monday as the opening range and Tuesday as the initial balance, I projected a range expansion of the high to low and see that the 0.50 times range expansion lines up perfectly with a prior pivot swing. This will be my new target for 350 ticks. I am already Long at 42,500 even, set with a limit order on the close of that fat bullish 15-minute bar. So far, price has failed to break the low of Sunday's fat bullish bar as I was expecting. I said that I don't believe price will break that low and so far it is holding up. After the 0.50 range expansion, the next price level of resistance is the FOMC high/low 1x range expansion at 42,978. One could have a target just before there but I am cutting mine at the 0.50 at 42,850. The market is forming a bottom using FOMC High price as the support level. The November 7th FOMC release is just around the corner. I am wondering how price will create new support and resistance levels based on that 8 Hour candle. So far all of September and October has been following the September FOMC release.

It revolves around FOMC.

Dow Jones Futures End Of Day Sell Trigger EntryA counter trend sell setup has just triggered for me and I entered in 15 minutes before Friday's close and got filled at 43,544. If you want to take this same setup, you can enter in on Sunday's open at whatever price you may get filled at. The reasoning behind this trade? Daily Timeframe Entry 1. A breakout of the 42,000 support area marked as Structural Support 2. A move higher, pause, move higher, another pause and a 1,2,3 with Friday being a small doji. This will signify a move that is coming. 3. The target is the move back into support as price is extended away at the moment. Tuesday, October 8th's low is suspended above the structural support zone and ripe for its low to be taken. My stop is 200 ticks at 43,744 My target is the support zone of about 1350 ticks or 42,050-42,100 area for a 7 to 1 trade. Price may well go back to 41,300 area as I think it might but I will cut the trade at 42,050 area and see what happens next. A 7 to 1 is still phenomenal in my eyes. Summary: I am already filled prior to market close on Friday, 10/18 at 43,544 My stop is 200 ticks at 43,744 My target right now is sitting at 42,078 This is an End of Day setup and I expect it to take anywhere from a couple of days to a couple of weeks.

Chart Idea - Bearish Setup on YM1!E-Mini Dow Jones had been making a bearish divergence on daily TF since July 2024. We also have been seeing it in an upward trend since Aug of this year. It finally it breaking today. It seems that the daily candle will close below the trend line today. If it does, we can look at the beautiful short setup on the retracement. Entry - 42950-43000 SL - 43600 TP1 - 42000 TP2 - 41000 We hardly see these kind of clean setups. There is a high probabilty that it will play out before elections in November. Not a financial advice !!

Parabolic Trading Ambush Style (Mindset Reprogramming)I have come to the conclusion that every month, there are 5-8 easy, clean, parabolic movements that offer extreme risk to reward with very little drawdown and they don't come back. If I can only trade just these trades and forego the rest. Why trade anything else? And of course, the grand daddy of them all. If I can only just make ONE trade for the entire month, it would be this one. Imagine placing one trade the entire month and making better returns than most. Like an ambush predator that patiently sits there and waits for its prey, just this one trade in the entire month can make you significantly more than 50/50 piker trades where you get chopped up and get emotionally frustrated.
