Stock Index Futures Fall Sharply -Again!

Stocks tried recovering after yesterday’s sell off and for a bit it seemed like they were but completely reversed and posted a bearish close!

Both silver and gold sold off sharply as well!

Crude oil managed to hold first level of support.

Side note if you are a day-trader in stock indices:

Volatility is quite high. This requires one to evaluate their stops? targets? Trading size?

With the micros Trading such good volume across the board a trader now has the option of trading one 3, 6 micros for example rather than trading one Single mini SP or mini Nasdaq This is especially true on volatility as as high as we see today And may help certain traders adapt to the volatility.

If you like feedback, discuss ideas – let us know and we will do our best to assist.

Stock Index Futures Fall Sharply!

By Mark O’Brien, Senior Broker

As of this typing, the September E-mini S&P 500 stock index futures contract is on track for its worst day since 2022, losing ±120 points (a $6,000 per contract move) / ±2.2%. The E-mini Nasdaq shed ±700 points (a $14,000 per contract move) / ±3.4%.

Two mega-cap companies – Google parent company Alphabet and Tesla – released gloomy 2nd quarter earnings reports and in sympathy, major technology stocks Nvidia, Meta Platforms and Microsoft, lost 6%, 5% and 4%, respectively. Summer has been a period susceptible to weakness for equities, so for ones whose performances have been responsible for the bulk of the gains this year among the major stock indexes, the individual losses exacerbated today’s sell-off.

Despite these misses from the mega-cap tech, the earnings season overall is off to a strong start. More than 25% of S&P 500 companies have reported their second-quarter earnings, with roughly 80% of them topping expectations, according to FactSet data.

Active day tomorrow to follow with GDP, weekly unemployment, durable goods on the economic front along with LIGHT earnings reports tomorrow.

PriceCounts – Not about where we’ve been , but where we might be going next!

The PriceCount study is a tool that can help to project the distance of a move in price. The counts are not intended to be an ‘exact’ science but rather offer a target area for the four objectives which are based off the first leg of a move with each subsequent count having a smaller percentage of being achieved. It is normal for the chart to react by correcting or consolidating at an objective and then either resuming its move or reversing trend. Best utilized in conjunction with other technical tools, PriceCounts offer one more way to analyze charts and help to manage your positions and risk. Learn more at www.qtchartoftheday.com
