Volatile day in the markets today.
NASDAQ 100 has shifted into short term bear mode for now while SP 500 is still holding above key levels ( IMO).
Spread chart of NQ-ES below for your review. It is a daily chart of NQ prices MINUS ES prices. As you can see last few trading days the ES is keeping more strength versus the NQ.
As I mentioned in previous blog posts, may ways to try and “skin the cat”….day trading or scalping INDEX futures is only one.
Some traders will trade spreads like the ES/ NQ on an intraday basis or longer, some traders will look at other markets like gold, crude and bonds ( versus focusing on the indices only) and some traders will trade a basket of products, being active based on where they feel opportunities are like Micro Bitcoin.

On March 30, a CME Group press release announced that it would introduce a new Micro BTC futures contract. Monday, May 3rd will be the futures contract’s first day of trading. This new futures contract reflects CME Group’s expansion of crypto derivatives that includes their Bitcoin futures contract launched in 2017, Bitcoin options in early 2020 and their Ether futures contract just last February.

When its open-sourced software was released in 2009, Bitcoin became the very first digital asset, or cryptocurrency to work as a medium of exchange. Since then, approximately 1800 other cryptocurrencies have been created with a market capitalization that topped $2 trillion this month. Strikingly, Bitcoin comprised approximately half that market cap.
The current Bitcoin futures contract’s underlying asset is 5 Bitcoin and with Bitcoin currently trading between $50K-$60K, the futures contract’s base value is ±$250K-$300K. And unlike nearly all other futures contracts whose margins are set and adjusted fairly infrequently by their exchanges, Bitcoin’s Initial Margin Requirement is recalculated every day based on its closing price, currently at roughly 40% of its base value – over $125K, currently.
The new Micro Bitcoin futures contract’s underlying asset is 1/10 Bitcoin (1/50 the size of the current 5-Bitcoin futures contract).
Needless to say, at 1/50th the leverage of the current Bitcoin futures contract, the smaller-sized Micro BTC futures contract will give traders the ability to fine-tune Bitcoin exposure.  And it goes without saying, these contracts trade on a regulated exchange where all participants see the same prices and quotes.  Participants enjoy true market transparency and price discovery.
The Micro Bitcoin futures contract builds on the strength and liquidity of CME Bitcoin futures by giving you more choice and flexibility to manage your Bitcoin exposure and add versatility to your trading strategies.

Just like that and April last trading day is tomorrow!
Last trading days and first trading days of the months will at times have unique characteristics. Possible larger moves, sharper turns etc.
Large traders/ funds will try to “close the books for the month”, book profits or losses etc.
Do you homework, go over notes from your journal and be prepared.
I wrote a quick piece on Live Cattle Futures along with chart and possible trade idea which you can find in details here:

FOMC is now behind us.
Looks like possible rotation from NASDAQ ( hi tech) to Russell a broader index.
Today’s action was a “typical Federal Open Market Committee day as of late….” choppy action all the way to the decision and then even more choppiness just with larger “bands”.
I know some day traders who DO NOT trade on Federal Open Market Committee days but I myself was never able to find a strong correlation one way or the other.
July silver and July copper are front months now – May is heading into delivery period. Same with Sugar, coffee, cotton.
