SPX500 - Next Wave Up Could Be UnderwayHere we see the importance of constantly using all the time frames to see what candles have printed. Bears are cheering the next wave down as if it is inevitable. But let's take a closer look... Notice the very long wicked Hammer candle (green arrow) on the S&P week chart that printed last week. Considering how bullish indexes are, that is an immediate "nail in the coffin" for the bearish case. We have seen Hammer candles in the past that led to more bearish action (other green arrows). But this candle is so bullish that it could also be called a Dragonfly Doji. So one candle on the week chart is not conclusive, but having seen it; I now favour the move up. This is also considering that the pivot low was a perfect 1.618 extension Golden Window capture. And if this week's candle is shallow or anything more bullish then the next wave up may already be underway. Not advice.

Big week for dataYesterday’s performance across US stock indices amounted to a ‘big, fat nothingburger’ to use a technical expression from our Wall Street colleagues. There was a dearth of fresh information to process, while there’s a large pile of important economic updates to consider throughout the rest of the week. This starts today with July Producer Prices (PPI), followed by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) tomorrow. Then there’s Retail Sales, weekly Unemployment Claims and a few second order economic measures to follow on Thursday. Last week we saw just how sensitive markets can be to US data, when a mildly-improved weekly claims number triggered an upward price surge across risk assets. It’s also fair to observe that markets were looking for a catalyst to trigger a rebound, given the size and severity of the move lower. Despite this, any of this week’s numbers have the potential to move markets, should they deviate much from expectations. US stock indices ended little-changed yesterday. The S&P failed to register any change in percentage terms, while it was left to the Russell 2000 to be the standout, by closing 0.9% lower. The Russell was a tad weaker this morning as well, although the rest of the majors were mildly firmer. The second quarter earnings season is pretty much wrapped up now, although there are some big retailers still to report. These include Home Depot today and Walmart on Thursday. As for tech, Cisco reports tomorrow. But investors have to wait until Wednesday 28th August to hear from NVIDIA, the last constituent of the ‘Magnificent Seven’ to update. There have been rumblings about the possibility of a retaliatory attack backed by Iran, or its proxies, on Israel. But it is difficult to assess how markets may react without knowing the scale of the response, and ultimately, its effects. Looking at the charts, these look fairly constructive as far as the US majors are concerned. The bulls will take comfort from the fact that the stock indices have managed to hold, and build, on Thursday’s large gains. But sentiment can shift in an instant, and markets feel quite febrile as investors prepare for this week’s economic data dump.

SPX Bulls - Give up already ;) Do you need more Fibonacci or is this Fibonacci enough to let you bulls understand, you are trying to win a losing game (hhhhhh). I will accept defeat once the final Fibonacci speed resistance fan line has been beaten, but even then, I will be looking out for a double top. In my opinion, this traffic zone is a desperate attempt of a trend continuation, however, there is no reason for this trend to continue currently. I think a test of the Jan 2022 highs will be enough to consider a macro reversal towards 7000, however, until then. Go to bed bulls - kappa? xD

Thin Markets Unnerve Traders: What to Know About Summer TradingLow trading volume is the market theme of the summer, which is driving investors to question their knowledge and ability to move in and out of markets. Forex, stocks, commodities and even crypto — they all seem more volatile during the summer quarter and there’s a reason for that. Big-shot traders ditch the trading desks for margaritas, espresso martinis and tan on the Amalfi coast while algo trading gets to slosh around billions of dollars. The result — thin liquidity sinks trades every now and then. August Trading Shakes and Stirs Markets The summer months have rolled in and with them a heightened feeling of unease has swept global markets. From a rally in the Japanese yen , to a big meltdown in stocks and crypto market carnage , asset classes got shook from this one market characteristic — volume . Thinning trading volumes disrupted the usual market rhythm, ushering in an environment dominated by increased volatility and unpredictable swings. Low volumes have the tendency to amplify price declines and increases. Illiquid August conditions may turn a rather normal move into a violent swing. Fewer shares traded means that a trading instrument is more susceptible to sharp price movements as there are fewer participants to absorb the trades. Panic Selling and the Carry Trade A volatility storm swept Japan’s stock market last week, throwing it into its worst single-day performance since 1987. Japan’s broad-based index Nikkei NI225 crumbled 12.4% in a single session while US stocks slumped 3%. Wall Street’s fear gauge, the VIX index of volatility VIX , shot up more than 50% to its highest level in 2020 when the pandemic was wreaking havoc. A day later, Japan bounced up 10% and the S&P 500 jumped 1%. The VIX shot lower by 28%. Japan ended up in the spotlight due to the unwinding of what’s called the “carry trade” — big hedge funds had borrowed trillions of cheap Japanese yen at near-zero interest rates to buy stocks or jam the cash into Treasury bills that pay a 5% interest. Risk-free. What’s not to like? The yen’s rise, for one. The sharp appreciation of the yen sent panicked carry traders scrambling to dump their holdings and repay their yen debt, which was getting more expensive. It’s the Algos’ Market, We All Live In It In August, traders typically exchange about 9.3 billion of US shares a day. Compared to March, where 13.2 billion shares change hands a day, that’s a 30% decrease in trading volume. Apparently, Wall Street does get a break from trading. Or does it? The stock market and the currency market, in particular, are dominated by and large by computer-trading algorithms that execute trades at lightning speed based on pre-programmed criteria. These algorithms, or simply algos, are allowed to process huge amounts of data and react to market conditions in milliseconds. While this can create efficiency and liquidity in normal market conditions, during periods of low volume — such as the summer months — they can contribute to increased volatility, especially if they are levered to the tune of 15, 20, 30 times. A single large order or a sudden piece of news can trigger a cascade of algorithmic responses, leading to rapid and sometimes exaggerated price movements. In other words, when these algos make a decision, that’s when volatility goes through the roof. Pair it with low volumes and you’ve got an explosion (or implosion) of prices. How to Survive Wild Markets? Given the unique challenges of summer trading, traders need to adjust their strategies accordingly. Here are some tips that can help. Lower Position Sizes : In a thin market, large positions can be harder to exit without moving the market (especially if you’ve loaded up on illiquid meme coins). Reducing position sizes can help mitigate this risk. Wider Stops : With increased volatility, it may be necessary to widen stop-loss orders to avoid getting wiped out by intraday market noise. Focus on Liquidity : Stick to trading more liquid instruments where possible, as these will typically be less affected by the summer slowdown. Hint: forex is the most liquid market. Keep an Eye on Economic Data : Summer doesn’t stop economic data releases , which can lead to outsized market reactions in a light market. Stay informed. Patience and Discipline : Summer trading requires patience and discipline. The temptation to overtrade in a quiet market can lead to mistakes. It’s often better to wait for clearer setups rather than forcing trades in a challenging environment. While you're waiting for the right moment to step in, test your strategies and find the best moves for future trades. What Do You Think? Summer trading presents a unique set of challenges that can unnerve even the most experienced traders. Thin markets, increased volatility, and the dominant role of algorithmic trading create an environment where caution is paramount. How do you handle volatile markets in thin trading? Let us know in the comments and let’s spin up a nice discussion!

240812 Market OutlookLast two weeks adjustment was aligned with the rise in Unemployment Rate and associated worries about the possible US economic slowdown. A week ago gap was closed last Friday, but there still remain another gap on Aug-2, which slightly increase the probability of further rise in US stocks. The focus of this week is inflation data from US, including PPI on Tue, Inflation Rate on Wed and Retail Sales on Thu. Additionally, investors should pay attention to Initial Claims on Thu and Michigan Consumer Sentiment on Fri.
