5. Futures Economic Reports for Friday August 2, 2013
Hello Traders,
For 2013 I would like to wish all of you discipline and patience in your trading!
As happened more than a few times in the past, the real direction/ reaction to the FOMC comes the following day and the reaction this time was a 21+ point rally on the SP500.
Tomorrow we have monthly unemployment along with a few other reports here in the US and in Europe that can either confirm this rally or cool off the recent surge in buying – either way I expect some volatility tomorrow.
Below is a daily chart of the mini SP500 with some potential Fibonacci extensions. Next key level on the way up is 1710 and key support or possible “trend changing level” is 1676.
I wish all of you successful, patient and disciplined trading during the month of August!
EP – E Mini S&P 500, Equalized Active Daily Continuation
