that is quite a violent swing. markets are really choppy right now, however it looks as though faith is being restored (slowly) and money is coming back into markets. I was actually trying to trade the dax (dummy account) and was caught by this move, so thankful I have a demo account to experiment with.

 

Its not been a great week for me with one stock crashing, I am currently penning some notes about that.


For me the indices are a bit too volatile to be trading but there is clearly opportunities with such 200pt swings.

 Hi ,  CPI would not usually cause such a stir but the chatter for over a week was that this time it could be different given the drop in indices (long overdue a correction)  following the last NFP data which showed increasing wages (inflationary) so if the inflationary aspect was confirmed today everyone was expecting a further indices drop with a correlated US dollar gain (except USDJPY because Yen was where much of the money from Dow was going).

 

The reality was the expected drop followed by instant recovery suggesting the initial correction a week ago was enough which bodes well for indices in the near future.

 

Dax tends to be more lively than most but on this occasion kept pace with the Dow which also had a 200 tick drop and recovery while currencies remained more subdued with lower volatility as has been the case for over a year now, EURUSD dropped just 100 pip before recovery. May well see 'buy the dip' traders returning to Dow now the correction looks done which will also cause USDJPY to move sideways rather than continue it's downward path.

 

The long run up in indices this last year has been at the expense of currencies and that looks like continuing post correction so worth keeping an eye on them. Take a look at the monthly Dax chart and see those long run ups interdispersed with sharp corrections and that same pattern is played out on the lesser time frames as well so like all else it's a question of timing and keeping an eye on the chart and an ear to the ground. 

 

On all charts even the lesser time frames dax is a good respecter of moving averages so experiment with the chart you prefer and see if one is being exploited (see the 1 hour chart below with 100 ema in yellow and 200 in purple).

Seems to be a continuation of the indices slide started Tuesday (Powell's first testimonial) and had follow through on the Asian overnight session as reported in the morning call. The Euro open tried to reverse the slide but then Dax tracked an identical move down in the Dow, both around 160 ticks not long after the London open this morning. That makes around 1000 tick total down for Dow since Tues.

Hopefully the ECB rate decision and presser will give it a kick one way or the other. The problem being that it's likely to be the presser that has most influence and lasts about 45 minutes during which there can be a lot of whipsawing until a final direction is decided.

Worth noting that today dax progressing very similar to yesterday. Holding a bull flag til late morning then dropping away to test support. Yesterday 3 hourly bars tested 12176, checking RSI (bar close) for divergence shows none on the hourly chart but get closer on a 15 min chart and divergence shows up very clearly.

Strange behaviour, i was sure that dax should join the usa uptrend friday evening but after initially rally (NFP) then dax dropped and was like a dead fish rest of the evening (did pop a couple of points but normally it should have reach day high and beyond)

 

and its was not caused by the euro

 

maybe some hedgefunds are shorting fdax?

Yes, I was waiting as well and was watching Dow also, was surprised dax didn't continue to the upside but after 2 pm dax just faded away. As did US 10 year treasury (immediately after me posting 'heading for 3%') so inevitability did usdjpy. Ho Hum. I wasn't watching futures, as you suggest worth doing a post mortum on.

    • In times of inflation, it's clear that traditional savings can lose value quickly, so looking for ways to protect or even grow your money becomes important. A lot of people naturally think of investing in assets like commodities or stocks, which are popular options, but there are other approaches that can help as well. One option is to explore side gigs or freelance work, where you can make money now rather than waiting for long-term investments to pay off. With inflation affecting costs, it can be helpful to have multiple streams of income.
    • Seems Bitget strategic partnership with Ton ecosystem is paying off as Bitget Wallet Lite mini, hits more than 6 million users in 3 days. On Oct. 31, the exchange announced the official launch of Bitget Wallet Lite, a multichain wallet integrated into Telegram, allowing users to buy, store and send crypto within the app. Few months ago, the exchange launches $20M TON ecosystem fund and also TON network secures $30M investment from Bitget and Foresight Ventures, this led the wallet to surpass Metamask in adoption rate. Some users have shown preference to the wallet as compared to Okx and Binance wallet, could it be the friendly nature or ease to connect Ton project? A recent study shows that the wallet impressive growth cut across emerging markets like Africa, South Asia, and the Middle East, could it be the surge in Ton project that is responsible for this feat? The study also claims that the wallet support for over 100 blockchains, and a wide array of DApps, makes the wallet appealing to a global audience. It further claimed that the wallet support for DEX trading, including features like zero gas fees in certain transactions and instant trading modes could be responsible for the surge in users. https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitget-wallet-telegram-6-million-users-three-days
    • Really interesting analysis! I’m with you on being bullish on SOL its performance lately has been impressive, and the technicals are giving all the right signals. The RSI’s upward trend and strong buying volume suggest that there’s real momentum here. Even the recent sell-off by that whale doesn’t shake my confidence; if anything, it reinforces how much profit and growth potential Solana has delivered in a relatively short time. The network activity bringing in $25 million in profits is no small feat either, and it’s part of why I see SOL as a strong long-term play. With it still trading well below its ATH, I think there’s serious room for growth, especially if it breaks that $200 resistance. Plus, seeing the ecosystem mature with more use cases and sustained whale activity really solidifies SOL’s staying power in the competitive blockchain space. This could be one of those correction opportunities that we look back on and wish we’d gone in even harder. Definitely keeping my eye on it for future dip
