9dc1e02e d5f7 4ff4 abf7 1df60775f196

Metals & Bitcoin Dominate

metal

By Mark O’Brien, Senior Broker

Metals:

August gold futures traded on both side of $3,300 per ounce today as investors continue to watch the evolving U.S. tariff policy with optimism grew that trade deals between U.S. and its trading partners would continue to weighed on safe-haven flows.

Copper futures fell on COMEX today as traders and investors continued to sift through President Trump’s latest tariff threats. Yesterday, President Trump announced a surprisingly large 50% tariff on copper that could kick in by Aug. 1 or sooner prompting the front-month September copper futures contract to rise ± 50 cents per pound / ±10% – a ±$12,500 per contract move – to an all-time high near $5.50/pound yesterday. Today, the contract eased down ±15 cents/±2.5%.

Crypto:

The three-year pattern of midyear volume dips for Bitcoin futures continues as June marks a sharp month-over-month decline. Total Bitcoin futures volume for the month of June recorded a ±20% month-over-month decline.

For context, over the first five months of 2025, Bitcoin futures volume averaged $1.93 trillion per month. This puts June’s figure roughly 20% below the year-to-date monthly average with just ±$1.55 trillion in total Bitcoin futures volume this month. Even so, July Bitcoin futures closed above 112,000 and within striking range of its May 22 all time high close of 112,905.

September Copper

September copper accelerated its rally into a new contract high where the chart satisfied its third upside PriceCount objective. It would be normal to see a near term reaction from this level in the form of a consolidation or corrective trade, at least. At this point, IF you could sustain another leg to the topside, the low percentage fourth count projects a possible run to the 7.22 area.

7419d0a9 e6dd 4aaf afc4 ca1087d3ad5f

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.

Reduced hours include the Equities, Metals, Energies. Since Juneteenth falls on a Thursday, the regularly scheduled EIA Weekly Natural Gas storage report will be released a day earlier: Wed. at the same time as the FOMC rate announcement. 1PM CT.

Remember that current market drivers for Equities are hard data on Jobs, Inflation, Trump tweets and Geopolitics, clearly the Israel/Iran conflict jumps to the top of the list here.

Continued volatility to come as next week all markets will be reacting to whatever comes out of the Israel/Iran conflict, The FRB, U.S. Govt leadership relating to conflicts cessation and trade deals.

Therefore, increased volatility expectations with periodic choppiness as the administration Vs the Courts seem to also be in the middle innings of their tariff battle.

August Unleaded

August unleaded gasoline accelerated to the topside and satisfied the first upside PriceCount objective. It would be normal to get a near term reaction from this level in the form of a consolidation or corrective trade.

Disclaimer The risk of trading can be substantial and each investor and/or trader must consider whether this is a suitable investment. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

IMPORTANT RISK DISCLOSURE

Futures trading is complex and carries the risk of substantial losses. It is not suitable for all investors. The ability to withstand losses and to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can adversely affect investor returns.

The returns for trading systems listed throughout this website are hypothetical in that they represent returns in a model account. The model account rises or falls by the average single contract profit and loss achieved by clients trading actual money pursuant to the listed system’s trading signals on the appropriate dates (client fills), or if no actual client profit or loss available – by the hypothetical single contract profit and loss of trades generated by the system’s trading signals on that day in real time (real-time) less slippage, or if no real time profit or loss available – by the hypothetical single contract profit and loss of trades generated by running the system logic backwards on backadjusted data (backadjusted).

Please read carefully the CFTC required disclaimer regarding hypothetical results below. HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE MANY INHERENT LIMITATIONS, SOME OF WHICH ARE DESCRIBED BELOW.

NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN; IN FACT, THERE ARE FREQUENTLY SHARP DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND THE ACTUAL RESULTS SUBSEQUENTLY ACHIEVED BY ANY PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM.

ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS IS THAT THEY ARE GENERALLY PREPARED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT.

IN ADDITION, HYPOTHETICAL TRADING DOES NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK OF ACTUAL TRADING.

FOR EXAMPLE, THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND LOSSES OR TO ADHERE TO A PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM IN SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL POINTS WHICH CAN ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO THE MARKETS IN GENERAL OR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM WHICH CANNOT BE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND ALL WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS.

Disclaimer The risk of trading can be substantial and each investor and/or trader must consider whether this is a suitable investment. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Futures Trading Disclaimer:

Transactions in securities futures, commodity and index futures and options on futures carry a high degree of risk. The amount of initial margin is small relative to the value of the futures contract, meaning that transactions are heavily “leveraged”. A relatively small market movement will have a proportionately larger impact on the funds you have deposited or will have to deposit: this may work against you as well as for you.

You may sustain a total loss of initial margin funds and any additional funds deposited with the clearing firm to maintain your position. If the market moves against your position or margin levels are increased, you may be called upon to pay substantial additional funds on short notice to maintain your position.

If you fail to comply with a request for additional funds within the time prescribed, your position may be liquidated at a loss and you will be liable for any resulting deficit.

Micro Bitcoin Futures

Micro Bitcoin Futures

Cryptocurrency has taken off as an encrypted alternative to real spending money, giving people more options for doing business. Bitcoin is one of the leading cryptocurrencies on the market, especially after it boomed in 2017. Nowadays, many websites accept Bitcoin payments, which has helped the cryptocurrency market grow significantly. Micro Bitcoin futures have also made a significant impact on the futures trading industry. 

Now, many brokers offer futures for Bitcoin and other types of cryptocurrency. It is easier than ever to trade shares of these types of currency, and traders of all experience levels can trade practically anytime and anywhere. 

  • Keep in mind that before you start trading Bitcoin/ Micro Bitcoin and other crypto futures you will need to acknowledge additional risk disclosures on top of the standard futures disclosures.

One of the most convenient ways for traders to get the results from cryptocurrency is by trading micro futures. Recently, the CME Group announced new Micro Bitcoin futures, which have revolutionized futures trading. Now, for 1/10 the cost of the average Bitcoin share, a trader can purchase shares of this new type of future. 

About Our Team

Cannon Trading has the tools traders need to begin trading cryptocurrency futures. We have various platforms that meet all needs, allowing traders to trade what they want when they want them. 

Our experienced brokers are here to help traders of all levels through the process. We specialize in developing innovative platforms that help traders navigate the market.

Whether a trader is part of a professional trading organization or participating in day trading, our brokers can help. We work with clients from various backgrounds, providing everything from multilingual trading services to broker-assisted trading. If a trader is interested in our services, our customer support team of qualified brokers would be happy to help.  

About Micro Bitcoin Futures

Micro Bitcoin Futures and Bitcoin Futures are both offered by CME to traders around the world. These contracts vary in size, depending on whether a client pursues a regular Bitcoin future or a Micro Bitcoin future. 

Micro Bitcoin Futures allow traders to access Bitcoin Futures for a tenth of the cost of a regular Bitcoin future. Both types of contracts make it easy to get into the Bitcoin market, allowing clients to get the most out of their trading process. 

Trading Micro Bitcoin Futures

The CME Group launched Micro Bitcoin Futures in May of 2021 and it has been a successful  contract from the start. With Bitcoin rising in prominence worldwide, it is easy to see why this type of futures contract appears to be here to stay. 

Bitcoin futures trading has been prominent since 2017 when the CME Group introduced it. Micro futures allow traders to speculate and hedge using 1/10th the size of a single coin of this iconic cryptocurrency. With Bitcoin still dominating the cryptocurrency industry, it is easy to see why many traders prefer the Micro futures over the traditional larger Bitcoin futures as the good faith deposit required is 1/10th of that of the standard Bitcoin contract.

While the new Micro Bitcoin Futures provide a value of 1/10 of a Bitcoin, these contracts are 1/50th the good faith deposit required of a traditional Bitcoin contract. This lower margin requirement allows traders to access more futures, giving them greater control of how much they can invest. 

The versatility of the market, along with the lower capital involved, helps more traders access this type of future. It is for this reason that Micro Bitcoin Futures are popular with both active traders and cryptocurrency users. 

Benefits of Micro Bitcoin Futures

There are many benefits involved in trading Micro Bitcoin Futures, which can help traders who have just started participating in the market. 

Micro Bitcoin futures allow traders to take advantage of the many benefits of Bitcoin futures without investing as much. The CME Group saw the need for a minor Bitcoin futures contract, especially since the traditional contract was worth 5 Bitcoin. 

More people could participate in cryptocurrency futures trading by creating this new, minor contract, which helped liquidity.

The institutional volume for Micro Bitcoin Futures has allowed the market to reach over a million contracts in just a short period. While this type of trading launched in the summer of 2021, it has become a popular choice, even seeming to outpace the traditional Bitcoin futures market. 

Here are just a few of the benefits traders can expect when utilizing Micro Bitcoin Futures:
  • Smaller capital investment
  • Reasonable bid offer spreads
  • Lower entry price
  • Regulated financial products
  • More accessible to more traders
  • And more

The team here at Cannon Trading can help traders understand this type future, allowing them to get the most out of their opportunities. We understand that our traders have varying needs, which has led us to develop innovative solutions and platforms to achieve them. 

Our team wants to help people get the most out of their Micro Bitcoin futures, which is why we have a dedicated group of brokers ready to assist our traders. 

We also have platforms for various needs and trading opportunities, from mobile platforms to desktop applications. Our products were designed with traders in mind, giving people the functionality to access the market. 

Impact of Micro Bitcoin Futures

While Micro Bitcoin Futures are relatively new to the market, they have made a significant impact on trading as a whole. This type of contract allows traders to explore the cryptocurrency futures market without spending as much capital as a traditional contract would require or coin in the Cash marketplace.. 

We understand that new traders may have a lot of questions regarding this type of cryptocurrency futures trading venue. There are risks involved in trading futures and even greater risks when trading Bitcoin and MICRO bitcoin futures. Our team is here to help field any questions a person might have regarding the trading process as a whole.

Gold Daily Chart For Review. Sympathy rally with Bitcoin? & Support and Resistance Levels 12.18.2020

Gold Daily Chart below. Sympathy rally with Bitcoin?
End of the year rally?
Need to see a close above 1900 to get a bit more excited about this one.
Time will tell.
Quick educational tips:
1. Look for high volume markets with a thin spread, so orders are filled quickly and it has high volatility, so there are opportunities for 2 to 4 good trades during the day. The Emini S&P500 Index Future is a good example of this type of market (Each point is worth $50, split into 4 ticks of $12.50 and there are 4 contracts a year, traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange).
2. Try to minimize risk to 1% of your capital per trade, then your capital can absorb 100 consecutive bad trades. Even the best systems can expect 20% -40% loosing trades, so the 1% rule gives you room to maneuver.
3. $10-$15k is the minimum recommended risk capital you should have per Emini S&P500 contract traded – then if you lose $1000-$1500 it only represents 10% of you capital, which is recoverable compared to a $3k account where the same loss equals 50% of your account, consequently you are more likely to lose the remainder of your capital rather than recover the loss. If you don’t have the higher risk capital, limit yourself to the MICROS – 1/10th the size.
4. Limit the hours you trade – the more you trade, the more exposed you are to human weaknesses, frustration and more. Just like an athlete you need to preserve your trading (playing) time….
