FOMC Statement Tomorrow & Support and Resistance Levels 1.26.2022

FOMC Statement tomorrow:

 From CNBC.com

The Federal Reserve is expected to say this week it is moving forward with interest rate hikes and considering other policy tightening, reversing the easy policies it put in place to fight the pandemic. The Fed begins its two-day meeting Tuesday and on Wednesday afternoon, the central bank is expected to issue a new statement that shows it is resolved to fight inflation. Against the backdrop of a violent stock market correction, Fed officials are expected to say they are ready to push up the fed funds rate from zero as soon as March.
The following are my PERSONAL suggestions on trading during FOMC days:
·    Reduce trading size
·    Be extra picky = no trade is better than a bad trade
·    Choose entry points wisely. Look at longer time frame support and resistance for entry. Take the approach of entering at points where you normally would have placed protective stops. Example, trader x looking to go long the mini SP at 4325.00 with a stop at 4319.00, instead “stretch the price bands” due to volatility and place an entry order to buy at 4319.75 and place a stop a few points below in this hypothetical example ( consider current volatility along with support and resistance levels).
·    Expect the higher volatility during and right after the announcement
·    Expect to see some “vacuum” ( low volume, big zigzags) right before the number.
·    Consider using automated stops and limits attached to your entry order as the market can move very fast at times.
·    Keep in mind statement comes out at 1 Pm Central time, the news conference which dissects the language comes out 30 minutes later so the volatility window stretches out.
·    Know what the market was expecting, learn what came out and observe market reaction for clues
·    Be patient and be disciplined
·    If in doubt, stay out!!

Equity Price limits and Circuit Breakers Information by John Thorpe, Senior Broker

As traders during volatile periods, it’s important to know the rules
relative to trading halts and circuit breakers.
The following is largely from the CME rulebook, please understand the rules are different between the Overnight and Day sessions .
Equity product price limits and circuit breakers
Our U.S. Equity futures markets have a range of automated safeguards in place – some of which are coordinated with cash equity markets.
CME Group U.S. Equity futures have 7% price limits overnight and remain open for trading at that limit. If markets reach 7% up or down during the overnight session, they remain open but can only trade up to those price limits. Further, Dynamic Circuit Breakers will be in effect with a width of 3.5%. If a contract market moves beyond +/- 3.5% within an hour during the overnight session, trading will be paused for two minutes.
Daytime trading employs market-wide circuit breakers, a kind of price limit that halts trading for a period of time to help the market reset.
CME Group U.S. Equity futures markets are coordinated with stock circuit breakers at market 7%, 13%, and 20%. The 7% and 13% circuit breakers are each followed by 15-minute trading halts; if the 20% level is reached, the market closes for the trading day. Learn more below:
If you would like to know what the current price levels will be for the Equity markets you are trading at the 7%,13% and 20% levels, please contact your broker at Cannon Trading as these numbers change daily based on the Previous days settlement price calculated in the last 30 seconds of trading– 2:59:30-3:00:00 PM CST

Energies and Equities Volatility & Support and Resistance Levels 1.20.2022

Be Watchful for Stock Market & Petroleum Product Oscillations

By Mark O’Brien
The prevailing downward bias in stock indexes has plenty of justification: a 1.4 million single-day case spike in infections last week, market expectations for up to four interest rate hikes this year, less-than-robust readings for last week’s initial jobless claims and retail sales, potential Russian military action against Ukraine, surging energy prices (crude oil traded up to a 7-year high yesterday).
Yet, there are supportive elements capable of counteracting the equity index sell-off of recent days: traders may look at this latest correction as sufficient to compensate for future Fed. policy actions, rate hike fears will tend to moderate with softening economic data. The latest Omicron developments continue to be encouraging. New Covid-19 cases are plummeting in a growing list of places. Since early last week, new cases in Connecticut, Maryland, New Jersey and New York have fallen by more than 30 percent. They’re down by more than 10 percent in Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. In California, cases may have peaked. Acknowledging the tensions between Washington and Moscow, U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken will meet with his Russian counterpart on Friday and promised “relentless diplomatic efforts to prevent renewed aggression and to promote dialogue and peace.”
Crude oil traders should expect the recent price increase to be met with increased volatility as political tensions involving major producers such as the United Arab Emirates and aforementioned Russia could exacerbate the already tight supply outlook. Blow-off tops should not be downplayed.

Taking Clues from the VIX & Support and Resistance Levels 1.19.2022

Correlational Observations of Indices Market Behavior.

VIX Volatility futures Index.

By John Thorpe, Senior Broker
VIX futures expiration is a monthly occurrence. The expiration is somewhat varied, the remaining 2021 schedule is included below, typically, middle of the month on Wednesday mornings. Take a look at your daily chart for any of the indices and you see the sell offs during the week of or the week prior to VIX
 expiration days.
My belief is there would be a smaller probability of a correlational relationship during a Bear stock market, However, Since we are in the 12th year of a bull market, I believe the underling price action is created by portfolio managers rolling their hedges and adjusting their risk for the coming month. They often use the week prior to Short the VIX at higher prices (lower equity index prices) for the first week of the new VIX contract month as they are buying back their old contract shorts pushing the VIX prices higher, thereby pushing negative sentiment into the marketplace. If there are more extreme price movements in their favor, they will elect to have the hedges expire to cash as the contracts are financially settled.
Coincidentally, to the recent market sell off January VIX expires Wednesday morning 19th at 8:00 a.m. CDT
