Start of a new month so the monthly chart recap. Ftse was doing so well and still above the broken monthly chart resistance level, Dow puts in a pause bar, Dax has an inside bar in a uptrend and Nikkei still consolidating.

UK rate decision today and US NFP tomorrow.

Oh, Thanks Foxy.  It's happened already? :D

It's clear to me now more than ever that I need to focus less on placing trades and more on the actual market and how it's all operating.

Where do I start?  Is there something I can read?  I Readers Digest of the Fundamentals?

Thanks

When is this to be expected Casey?  Thanks

UK rate decision was today at  12pm, no change.

US NFP is tomorrow at 1:30pm and forecast to be 164K, Wednesday's ADP nfp was 156k, 6k higher than forecast.

NFP is the second biggest date on the calendar (just behind FOMC).

Though there is a whole mass of data released the 3 most important numbers are nfp, average hourly earnings increase and unemployment rate.

As usual it's the unexpected that causes the stir.

Any insight into the direction of the FTSE?

 

Thanks

the ftse was getting a free ride up on the back of the plunging £ as Boris was sounding tough and increasing the odds for a no-deal Brexit but he's been back peddling just lately so ftse has come off a bit and then was hit like all the indices on yesterday's fomc.  Today is stabilising/consolidating in line with the others as is the £ since 8am so waiting for the US market open at 2:30 for a push in either direction.

Higher Highs Higher Low's??

Though as Usual I anticipate a Drop to S1.

Or was it a Spike to R1....Not sure now lol.

need more edukayshun, resistance is broken when all the sellers have been cleared out, support is broken when all the buyers have been cleared out. you are not big enough to do the 'clearing out' so sit and wait for a result and join the triumphant march on to the next battle ground. order flow.

And look, the next battle ground was R1, who would have guessed it.

How did you trade it though?  The one on the left shows a break above R1 then a fall back down.  The one on the right shows a sustained break for one candlestick period.  So, if you are trading a breakout from R1 you lose 50% and win 50%.  Not great odds really.  If you wait for a pullback, then you miss all of the substantial breakout and get very little.  Tricky.  Difficult to call.

Been out in the sunshine on my bike.  What did i miss?

 

Well, on the plus side you got some exercise, enjoyed the weather and lived a good life.  On the other hand you missed the misery, bitterness and utter futility of day trading on financial markets.

Oh, I made £20 on the FTSE in the consolidation area :D

Currently waiting on 2U.Inc to deliver.....Was up £7 earlier but took it all back to -£7 now hopefully bringing it back to Zero and into profit.  Been holding on to it since 3.20 lol.  Hopefully I'll take a tenner from it.

I use the H1 to spot levels and direction, I put them side by side because Dow often is a leading indicator for Dax, I would look for entries on the M1, M5 or even the M15 but no higher than that for intraday. If it looks a bit choppy as it did for Dax today I'd use set amount targets on promising looking pullbacks between levels.

'Even the M15' lol.  15 minutes is about as low as I would contemplate going, and even then I feel it gives me signals to exit far too soon.

    • As a believer in the potential of Ordinals and BRC-20 tokens, I'm pumped about the upcoming listing of the TST token on Bitget. This TeleOrdinal marketplace has been a game-changer for me. Before TST, buying and selling Ordinals and BRC-20s felt like navigating a wild west. Now, I can finally trade these unique assets on a secure and user-friendly platform that uses stablecoins - a massive upgrade.   This is exactly what the Ordinals and BRC-20 space needs: a safe and reliable marketplace to attract new users and fuel further innovation. Huge props to TeleOrdinal for building this, and even bigger props to Bitget for recognizing its potential. TST listing is a major step forward for the entire NFT and Ordinals ecosystem. Can't wait to see what the future holds.

    • Silver Elliott Wave Analysis Function -Counter-Trend Mode - Corrective Structure -Double Zigzag for wave B (circled) Position - Wave (Y) of B Direction - Wave (Y) of B is still in play Details - After violating the last update, we have a new outlook on daily and H4 that better fits the current price action. A lower extension is now expected for Silver. Silver Elliott Wave Analysis: Extended Decline and Bullish Outlook Overview: The decline in Silver that began on May 20th is continuing to extend lower and is expected to persist before finding significant support. Despite this downturn, the year-long trend remains bullish and is anticipated to resume once this corrective phase concludes. The emerging chart pattern suggests a further decline towards $27 in the coming days or weeks.   Daily Chart Analysis: Two key observations can be made on the daily chart: Bullish Yearly Trend: The trend for this year has been bullish, leading to a breakout from a prior 13-month sideways price action. This indicates strong underlying bullish momentum. Corrective Decline: The current decline from April 19th, 2024, is identified as corrective. Therefore, the expectation is that the bullish trend will resume once this corrective structure concludes.   To determine when the corrective structure will finish, it’s important to identify the emerging pattern. Early analysis suggests that the price might be forming a double zigzag Elliott wave corrective structure, labeled as waves (W)-(X)-(Y). Wave (W) and wave (X) completed on June 13th and June 21st, respectively. The price is now breaking down in wave (Y), which could extend to $27 or lower. Meanwhile, the year-long impulse is labeled as wave A (circled) in the primary degree, and the double zigzag pullback should complete the corresponding primary degree wave B (circled). Following this, wave (C) is expected to push the price to a fresh 2024 high.   H4 Chart Analysis: The H4 chart provides a detailed view of the sub-waves within the double zigzag structure. The price is currently in wave A of (Y), which is expected to be followed by a minor corrective bounce for wave B. Afterward, the price should continue lower for wave C, completing wave (Y) of B (circled). This pattern aligns with the broader expectation of a corrective phase before the resumption of the bullish trend.   Summary: Current Decline: Silver’s decline from May 20th is expected to continue towards $27 before finding support. Bullish Yearly Trend: Despite the current downturn, the overall trend for the year remains bullish. Corrective Structure: The decline is forming a double zigzag Elliott wave corrective structure. Daily Chart Insight: The trend is expected to resume higher after the completion of the current wave B. H4 Chart Detail: Sub-waves show a minor bounce expected before a further decline to complete wave (Y) of B. In conclusion, while Silver is currently experiencing a corrective decline, the long-term bullish trend is anticipated to resume once this phase concludes. Traders should watch for a potential bottom around $27 and prepare for a renewed bullish impulse towards new highs in 2024.
