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.

 

NQ daily chart for your review below with possible support levels.

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.

September Silver
September silver completed its second upside PriceCount objective last month and is correcting lower. In the process, the chart has activated downside counts and is approaching the the first objective to the 28.71 area. It takes a trade below the February reactionary low to formally negate the remaining unmet upside targets.
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
Trading in futures, options, securities, derivatives or OTC products entails significant risks which must be understood prior to trading and may not be appropriate for all investors. Past performance of actual trades or strategies is not necessarily indicative of future results.

July Hogs
July hogs resumed their break to a new low where the chart satisfied its second downside PriceCount objective, just above the contract low. At this point, IF the chart can erase the contract low and sustain further weakness, the third count would project a possible slide to the 81.23 area.

For all of you index traders, you may have noticed the shrinking Open Interest and Volume in the June contracts. It’s that time when volume shifts to the next quarterly expiration contract. September! the symbol is U.

 

June volume will be drying up quickly, don’t get stuck next Friday morning with a June contract at the crack of dawn when the carousel stops.

I personally start trading the September, U contract this Monday but many traders will start switching as of today….just make sure your charts are aligned – meaning that both the DOM and the charts use the same symbol.

Watch video below on how to rollover if you are a stock index trader on our E-Futures Platform!

 

 

 

 

If you are a day trader, below you will see markets that our proprietary ALGO has identified as being more suitable for attacking either from the long side or the short side for the next trading session.
