Hi @Foxy

I think we may take out the 50 dma to suck people in on the long side.

The technical will push a bounce.

Then some piece of news will draft this lower.

I think stock entry prices and exits will be easier than indices.

Get the direction right big profits will be on though. .. the moves should really trend.

A quick explanation of the histo/oscillator indicator on the S&P chart, the histo red and green bars is a smoothed RSI above/below 50 and the blue and yellow lines are a fast and slow MA of RSI. Signals are the blue crossing the yellow or blue bouncing off the yellow, also as per normal RSI a good divergence indicator.

Some recovery yesterday but price is looking for sentiment rather than a level and the next meeting between the main trade war combatants is not til the G20 at the end of June.

S&P key level support below at 2721, currently 2750.

On the calendar this week is the ECB rate decision Thursday and NFP this Friday.

The Fed steps in to help the markets signalling the Fed was ready to cut rates if warranted sends all the indices back up.

US non-manu PMI today at 3pm, forecast is 55.6. 

ADP nfp data today at 1:15 could hint to Friday's number.

The S&P leaves key support intact (2721) and looks ahead to resistance at 2840, currently at 2800.

ECB rate decision and mon pol statement at 12:45am and Draghi presser at 1:30pm today.

Dow and Dax heading into resistance with Ftse not far behind, seem to have shrugged off the very low ADP nfp number yesterday that's often a pointer to the big NFP data release tomorrow. Interesting S&P weekly chart with 2 trading days to go.

NFP day today and it will be a bit nervy following Wednesday's disastrous ADP nfp coming in at 27k instead of the expected 275k, 180k is forecast for today. Average earnings and the % rate are also important so things could get very bouncy from 1:30 on.

Another blue day all round yesterday so expecting continuation until it's not, Dax having problems sneaking back into the channel and the ECB didn't help, Dow has previous highs resistance just overhead and Ftse needs to try to avoid a third point touch to confirm a downtrend trendline.

Let the games commence.

Interesting one this, NFP was a big miss as the Wed ADP number predicted but the thing is the markets have already priced in the increased chance of rate cuts in the near future so the affect of the NFP today is looking somewhat subdued. There was talk that a big number could cause a hit on the market because it might reduce the chances of rate cuts.

Profiting After the Market Closes

Since 1993, all of the S.& P. 500’s gains have occurred outside regular trading hours, which run from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern time. 

Take a look at this chart from Bespoke as mentioned in the NYT article linked below.

SPY Returns: Owning outside vs. inside of regular trading hours ('93-present).

image.png.e7b856549af12ebd103411a6df17c36b.png

Since 1993, if you bought SPY on open and sold on close each day, return would be a negative 5.2%, if you did the opposite & bought on close and sold on open next day, return would be plus 568%  (meaning that ALL performance came in after-hours trading) Source: @bespokeinvest.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/02/your-money/stock-market-after-hours-trading.html

“We can show that the gap exists,” said Huseyin Gulen, a finance professor at Purdue University who has written about the issue. “But at this point we don’t know exactly why.”

"Buying and holding the overall market — using an E.T.F. like the SPY, or a traditional index mutual fund, or a very diversified portfolio of stocks — has been an extremely profitable strategy if you stuck to it for the last 25 years. On the other hand, buying and selling during the day has generally been a money-losing strategy — one that would have been far more painful if you had traded frequently, incurring steep costs, which would have compounded your losses."

All 4 indices will be looking to top Sunday's high today having not managed it on a slow day yesterday, failing that probably due a pullback. If resistance can't be beat price always has to look for support, and visa-versa. 

Trump complaining the Fed didn't listen to him re- not raising rates, chances of a rate cut in July now up over 80%. He is right, the Fed never understood his gaming of the Chinese by using market tops as timing for turning the screw tighter. As we are closing in on the highs again and the G20 at the end of the month will he do it a 4th time?

Another day of indecision for Dow, not able to push on but not pulling back yet either. Times like these usually bring out the doomsters to tell us Armageddon is coming and who knows, one day they might actually be right, but I wouldn't bet on it.

You hear lots of talk about national debt and the abandonment of the gold standard and the Bretton Woods agreement etc but they are all forgetting the list of rules drawn up in the 1930's that still hold true to this day, especially Rule 11 (see below).

Looking like a day of searching for support, not much on the calendar, EU indy prod m/m at 10am expected to be -0.4 might rock the Dax.

Dow will be trying to hold at S2 25878 while resistance is up at 26087.

Dax trying to hold above 12065 and has resistance overhead at 12133.

Strange week really for the indices. just loitering around so far, not willing to push on but not wanting to pull back either.

Asia markets down overnight while Europe and American markets up slightly. On the calendar today is US retail sales at 1:30 and US consumer sentiment at 3pm.

FOMC next week with a surveyed 20% chance of a rate cut while the end of July FOMC meet is 80% (FOMC meet 8 times a year) and in between is the G20 at the end of this month so plenty of market moving events just round the corner 🙂

    • WTI Elliott wave analysis  Function - Counter-trend  Mode - Corrective  Structure - Impulse for wave 1 Position - Wave 2 Direction - Wave 2 is still in play Details - Wave a of 2 appears to be close to completion. We could see a deeper pullback for wave b of 2 in the coming days against 72.47.    Crude Oil Elliott Wave Analysis Crude oil prices have been rising in June following a two-month sell-off that resulted in a 17% decline. The current recovery is expected to continue higher but is likely to be capped below the April 2024 highs before turning lower. It's important to note that crude oil has been undergoing a long-term bearish correction since March 2022, which appears to be ongoing.   Daily Chart Analysis: The daily chart depicts the bearish corrective cycle from March 2022 (130.9), which is evolving as a double zigzag pattern, labeled as wave W-X-Y (circled in navy blue) of the primary degree. The primary degree wave W (circled) concluded at 64.56 in March 2023 after a 360-day, 50% decline, forming a double zigzag structure. The subsequent wave X recovery began in March 2023 and ended at 95 in September 2023 with a flat structure. Consequently, wave Y started in September 2023, also developing into a zigzag pattern, with an impulse wave (A) ending at 67.81 in December 2023. The recovery wave (B) then completed with a double zigzag at 87.63 in April 2024. Wave (C) is anticipated to be an impulse wave and is expected to decline much lower than 67.81 in the coming months. Wave 1 of (5) ended at 72.47 with an impulse, and the current recovery for wave 2 is still unfolding.   H4 Chart Analysis: The H4 chart indicates that wave 2 has not yet finished and could reach higher prices in the 80s region in the next few weeks. Currently, wave 2 appears to be completing its first leg, wave a (circled). After this, a pullback is expected for wave b (circled), which should stay above 72.47 before the final leg to complete wave 2 in the 80s region. Unless there is a breach above 87.63, the medium-term direction is expected to be downwards after the wave 2 corrective bounce.   Summary: Crude oil prices are experiencing a recovery in June after a significant decline. The current recovery is anticipated to continue but is likely to be capped below the April 2024 highs. The long-term bearish correction that started in March 2022 appears to be ongoing. On the daily chart, the bearish corrective cycle is forming a double zigzag pattern, with wave Y currently in progress. The H4 chart suggests that wave 2 is nearing completion and could reach the 80s region. After this corrective bounce, the medium-term outlook remains bearish unless the price breaches 87.63. Traders should monitor the key levels of 87.63 and 72.47 to identify potential entry and exit points, as well as to confirm the continuation of the bearish trend after the wave 2 correction.   Technical Analyst : Sanmi Adeagbo Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial here!  
    • Yancoal Australia (03668) recently announced that, according to its 2024 Long-Term Incentive Plan, the company has issued 1.5339 million performance share rights to several senior executives. This incentive plan aims to enhance the motivation of the management team and improve the performance of the company through equity incentives. Mark Stefanski believes that this initiative not only aids in the long-term development of the company but also reflects its confidence in future performance growth. Detailed Analysis and Background of the Long-Term Incentive Plan The 2024 Long-Term Incentive Plan of Yancoal Australia involves issuing 1.5339 million performance share rights at no issue price to several senior executives, including eight directors of the subsidiaries of the company, representing approximately 0.12% of the issued share capital. The vesting conditions for this incentive plan are based on relative earnings per share and cost target hurdles, with vesting to be determined at the end of the performance period (i.e., December 31, 2026), subject to the discretion of the board. Mark Stefanski believes that this incentive mechanism helps ensure that the management team focuses on improving the profitability and cost control of the company over the coming years to achieve long-term sustainable development. The core of the long-term incentive plan is to drive the motivation and creativity of the management team to enhance the performance of the company. Mark Stefanski points out that this plan not only attracts and retains outstanding management talent but also effectively stimulates their enthusiasm, thereby improving the overall operational efficiency and market competitiveness of the company. Additionally, by providing incentives in the form of performance share rights, the interests of the management team become more aligned with those of the shareholders, further strengthening its governance structure. Impact of the Long-Term Incentive Plan on the Company and Shareholders Mark Stefanski believes that the long-term incentive plan of Yancoal Australia has several positive impacts on the company and its shareholders. Firstly, by granting performance share rights to senior executives, the company can retain its core management team in the face of fierce market competition, ensuring stable and continuous development in future operations. From the perspective of a shareholder, the implementation of the long-term incentive plan signifies that the interests of the management team are highly aligned with those of the shareholders. Mark Stefanski mentions that the management team can only obtain performance share rights if the company achieves certain performance targets, which makes the management more focused on the long-term development of the company and the enhancement of shareholder value in their decision-making. Mark Stefanski notes that although the long-term incentive plan has clear positive impacts on the company and its shareholders, investors should still pay attention to changes in the market environment and potential challenges the company may face in implementing the incentive plan. For instance, global economic uncertainty, increasing market competition, and the effectiveness of internal management are all important factors that investors need to consider. Market Reaction and Future Outlook Mark Stefanski mentions that after Yancoal Australia announced its long-term incentive plan, the market reaction was positive, with investors generally optimistic about its future prospects. The stock price rose following the announcement, reflecting the expectations of the market on the future performance improvement of the management team. However, while investors recognize the incentive plan, they should also maintain a cautious attitude, keeping an eye on its operational performance and changes in the market environment over the coming years. In conclusion, Mark Stefanski believes that by implementing the long-term incentive plan, Yancoal Australia is likely to achieve continuous performance growth and an increase in shareholder value in the future.
