1. Market Commentary

Last week ( Thursday to be exact) I shared the same chart below with the sell signal if we can break 1204.50 ( The market was trading around 1215 at that time). Well we broke below and pretty much got the first target in one trading day.

Tomorrow we will have FOMC minutes, an important report which the market tends to react to or as I call it, “Market respects it”.

If the market breaks above 1204.50 after the minutes, we may see a relief from selling, on the other hand if the market reacts bearishly to the report than 1147.50 and 1120 are next targets.

1. Market Commentary

Days like today and yesterday encourage me to repeat what I wrote yesterday:

ALWAYS EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED! When volatility skyrockets like now, moves become extreme, the speed of the market really picks up and this is when one must adjust their trading size lower to accommodate for the wilder and wider moves.

Below is an hourly chart of SP500 pit session. Notice the gaps we have from overnight moves.

I think if we can break 1132, market may have a shot at closing the gap all the way up at: 1155 Continue reading “High Market Volatility as Shown by S&P 500 Pit Session | Support and Resistance Levels”

Front month for Equities (eminis), currencies, bonds and financials and many other markets is now December. You should not be trading almost any September contract of any market.

Note to our clients who are trading with TransactAT:

The latest version is now TransactAT 5.2.2 (download). The newer version can be installed over the older version. Please contact you broker if you need any help.

FOMC tomorrow and before that more than a few economic numbers.

FOMC days have different characteristics than other trading days. If you have traded for a while, check your trading notes from past FOMC days that may help you prepare for tomorrow.

If you are a newcomer, take a more conservative approach and make sure you understand that the news can really move the market- FAST.

My observations suggest choppy, low volume up until announcement, followed by some some sharp volatile moves right during and after the announcement. However, with tomorrow early morning reports, we may see more volatility during first couple of hours as well.

My SWING trading model is currently short the mini Russell from 693 ( target around 672, stop around 716) which may not suite everyone’s stomach ahead of the what maybe volatile overnight and tomorrows FOMC session, but chart for your review below.

If you would like to be included on my SWING trade ideas, send me an email. Continue reading “Trade With Caution, FOMC Day Tomorrow | Support and Resistance Levels”

Market sold off on bearish jobs data earlier this morning. We saw a good bounce in the last half of the trading session.
