YM1! trade ideas
US30 (YM1!) Intraday trade - SHORTThe US PCE has released, and it is unchanged.
Personal income is also down.
What does this tell us? Inflation is slowing down, and we can also start to be confident of this new reality as the last few weeks of data have been on the downside for the US economy.
As people will have less money to spend, and credit conditions worsen, the US30 should see some outflows from investors.
Technically, US30 has entered a mid term historical rejection zone.
Below that, we a zone - highlighted in purple - which is essentially no mans land. No significant support has been built in this area, so price normal moves decisively to one side or the other.
Look to enter a BREAKOUT SHORT underneath the current 4HR candle.
DO NOT enter straight away. Wait for the rejection and THEN ENTER.
US30 (YM1!) Intraday trade - SHORTUS30 is now retesting the STRONG support zone it broke. This zone was formed over the past few days, so I am expecting a rejection.
Look to enter a BREAKOUT SHORT below the current 1HR candle.
Again, DO NOT FOMO into a position now. Allow the price to reject before jumping in.
Remember, aim to make good trades, protect your profits and then think about making a gain after that.
How to identify a trend move using AnchorsIn the video I discuss the concept of Anchors in trading and how I use them in my own trading.

Dow Futures (YM_F) Looking for Corrective Rally SoonShort Term Elliott Wave view in Dow Futures (YM_F) suggests that cycle from 7.27.2023 high is mature and about to complete soon as 5 waves impulse. Down from 7.27.2023 high, wave ((i)) ended at 35076 and rally in wave ((ii)) ended at 35660. Index extended lower in wave ((iii)) as another impulse in lesser degree. Down from wave ((ii)), wave (i) ended at 35115 and rally in wave (ii) ended at 35456.
Index extended lower in wave (iii) towards 34328 and rally in wave (iv) ended at 34709. Final leg wave (v) ended at 34308 which completed wave ((iii)). Rally in wave ((iv)) ended at 34645 as a zigzag structure. Up from wave ((iii)), wave (a) ended at 34605, wave (b) ended at 34465, and wave (c) higher ended at 34645 which completed wave ((iv)). Down from wave ((iv)), wave (i) ended at 34307. Short term rally should fail in 3 or 7 swing against 34645 for further downside within wave ((v)). Once the 5 waves decline ends, it should complete wave A in larger degree. Then the Index should rally in wave B to correct decline from 7.27.2023 high in 3 or 7 swing before the decline resumes.
The Great Depression of the 2000's?Nearly a century ago, financial markets around the globe experienced a cataclysmic drop, the infamous Great Depression. Today, as we stand on the precipice of economic uncertainty, I can't help but draw parallels between the cyclical patterns of yesteryears and our current economic landscape.
Despite rising interest rates, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) remains stubbornly high, ushering in an era of stagflation. The lavish use of the FDIC fund to bolster banks like SVB has only fanned the flames of inflation, and its repercussions are palpable among the masses.
But here's where the plot thickens: Fitch, in a move that sent ripples across the financial world, downgraded the U.S. sovereign rating from the coveted AAA to AA+. While the markets might have taken this in stride, the implications are far from trivial. This isn't just about numbers on a spreadsheet; it's about the very reputation of the U.S. on the global stage. The last time we saw such a downgrade, in 2011 by S&P, the aftershocks were felt far and wide.
The reasons cited by Fitch, notably the "deterioration" of the country's finances and the "erosion of governance," are not revelations but rather confirmations of what many have whispered in hushed tones. The political chasm that has been widening for years now seems to have finally caught the eye of rating agencies. Yet, amidst this turmoil, the U.S. dollar stands tall, a beacon of hope in turbulent waters, still regarded as the world's premier reserve currency.
However, the real concern lies not in the immediate aftermath but in the long-term ramifications. The downgrade, while not a death knell, is a stark reminder of the fiscal challenges the U.S. faces, from funding Social Security and Medicare to bridging its ever-widening political divides.
A potential trigger for a decline in the Dow could be everyday individuals feeling the pinch, retiring early, or tapping into their 401(k)s to navigate the rising costs of living. The advent of advanced technologies, like GPT, has only exacerbated the turnover rates for workers in their 50s and 60s. I foresee a trend where these workers might opt for early 401(k) withdrawals or early retirement, further straining the economy.
In this tempest of economic uncertainty, I predict the following for the Dow: Target 1: 34,000, Target 2: 31,500, Target 3: 21,300. As we navigate these uncharted waters, it's crucial to remember that while history often rhymes, it doesn't always repeat.
