March Copper
March Copper completed its first upside PriceCount objective early this month and corrected. Now, the chart is attempting to resume its rally where new sustained highs would project a run to the second count in the 4.03 area, consistent with a challenge of the September high.
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

FOMC Rate Decision Tomorrow +Futures Trading Levels 12.13.2023

March is front month for stock indices.

Symbol for March is H, so example ESH24

 

FOMC Rate decision tomorrow.

The following are my PERSONAL OPINION 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 4425.00 with a stop at 4419.00, instead “stretch the price bands” due to volatility and place an entry order to buy at 4419.75 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.
  • Know what the market was expecting, learn what came out and observe market reaction for clues
  • The rate announcement comes out exactly at 1 PM central. As of this morning there is a 98% chance of no change in rates.
  • Traders will pay EXTRA attention to the language and the Q&A which starts at 1:30 PM Central

 

  • Be patient and be disciplined

 

  • If in doubt, stay out!!

Mini SP ( March contract) one possible outlook is below using the daily chart and QT Market Center platform.

Plan your trade and trade your plan.

The Week Ahead: CPI, FOMC +Futures Trading Levels for 12.12.23

The Week Ahead: Index rollover week, CPI, PPI, FED Rate announcement, Fed speech, Earnings.

By John Thorpe, Senior Broker

This week could get wild in a number of markets, stay focused and manage the risk.

You should already be trading the March Indices if you are trading them at all, ask your broker how to roll if you need assistance.

 

Tuesday morning the telling CPI number will be released early, 7:30 am CST.

 

Past volatility in index markets as a result of earnings will take a back seat to much anticipated economic numbers this week. We will have a few earnings releases after the close but the highlights for the indices, bonds, crypto, metals and yes even the energy complex may hinge on the CPI and PPI numbers in addition to the somewhat surprising Non Farm Payroll numbers on Friday that reflected uncommon and persistent strength in the wake of the longest string of interest rate increases in 40 years.

PPI Wednesday 7:30 am CST

Any deviation from the consensus will move markets in unnatural ways.  The same for the PPI on Wednesday morning and the FED voting members will have a clearer picture of their desires in March, something we will be listening for in the language Chairman Powell uses on Wednesday when he hosts his final for the year Q and A 30 minutes after the Rate decision is announced. That decision is expected to be a no rate change with the CME FedWatch tool weighing in today as a 98.4% probability for rates to remain untouched.

ADBE will be reporting Earnings after the close Wednesday and Costco after the close on Thursday.

Inventories, jobless claims retail sales all early Thursday morning and Friday, a few more data points to throw into the mix. Capacity utilization and Industrial production, all sectors that are dependent on the cost of money.

Plan your trade and trade your plan.
