YEA retail traders will not be bowed and are clinging onto that 75% loser rate like it's a badge of honour. S+P makes a new all time high - retail go 78% short, S&P makes another new ATH - retail go 80% short, S&P makes yet another new ATH - retail goes 83% short.

The problem of course is that when price is at the all time high it's knocking against the chart top border so can't go any higher right? Here's a Top Tip, use the slider on the right hand scale to move the chart down and hey presto - more space atop the chart suddenly appears as if by magic so price can now go further up.

Here's a mystery though, it's not the dumb money that keeps pushing price higher, they're all short. I wonder who it could be then 🤔

Dax and Dow still paused at the highs, Ftse and ASX approach near term resistance. Attempts to push higher yesterday stalled on news there would be no signing of the phase 1 trade deal between US and China in November, next possible date is Dec 3rd and 4th.

Dax and Dow continue into clear space, The Dax all time high is just ahead at 13596. Ftse and ASX still trapped by key resistance, Ftse with Brexit woes and ASX with China econ strength woes.

Not sure today, maybe a cautionary pullback going into the weekend, not much on the calendar, continued gains today would be extremely bullish.

Others may feel the same way, taking profits and thereby causing price to drop 🙈

certainly the London session is showing caution but support looks to be holding so not actually pulling back any further, will be interesting to see if the US want to buy into the highs straight into the weekend.

The wide array of picks comes at a time when the U.S. stock market is widely seen as having little room to significantly expand past its recent record highs as the Federal Reserve appears ready to pause its path of equity-friendly interest rate cuts. The benchmark S&P 500 is up nearly 24% since the start of the year, a performance greater than any other developed market equity index.

Instead, investors are shying away from broad bets on the market and instead focusing on more specialized assets in hopes of finding value as global economic growth slows.

As always ... what happens on the charts is the most important thing to watch :D

Maybe Trump will get the Fed to drop rates by postponing the trade deal again ...

the 'up nearly 24% on the year' sounds like everyone is all ready in long but that figure comes after the big drop in Dec so not really the case, open interest is still low so there's still a lot of upside potential and we know sentiment has been low for a while but looks to have turned up recently both in emerging markets and developed markets.

Over 70% of countries making up the MSCI World Index (23 developed markets and 24 emerging markets) now have a rising 200 dma. 

"Following up on last week's report – on the importance of the big picture: Most global Stock markets are in uptrends (rising 200dmas). This condition defined *nearly all* global Bull markets in history, AND weakness correctly anticipated every Bear market. Currently Bullish."

Checked my trusty 'Technical analysis of the Financial Markets' by John J. Murphy and he says that the commercials (hedgers) are usually right.

not the case, the commercials are the product producers, users and hedgers working through investment banks and institutions, large speculators are registered traders working for investment banks and institutions, note that the net positions of the two are a near mirror image.

During trends large speculators are usually on the right side of the market but tend to get over extended and when there is no one else to sell/ buy to/from the market stops working for them, commercials are better at seeing these signs of coming tops and bottoms.

Your graph shows the long bull trend in Dow in which the large speculators are net long for the duration while the commercials are net short. But you need not worry about the commercials they do just fine providing the other side of the market for the large speculators, as you point out, many of the commercial contracts are hedging for the producers/users and are expected to expire worthless.

FTSE 100, DAX and Dow have turned higher despite sharp losses on Friday. With key resistance up ahead, will the recent market uptrend continue?

Our senior market analyst Joshua Mahony wrote about the FTSE, DAX and DOW movement. What is everyone thinking of this recovery and do you think it's going to continue with this bullish behavior.

A positive speech on U.S.-China trade would likely satisfy market participants even without specific details of the “Phase 1” agreement under negotiation, said Jim Paulsen, chief investment officer at The Leuthold Group in Minneapolis.

“It still feels like we’re pretty close to having something done,” Paulsen said on Monday. “Even if it’s meaningless, it will be meaningful.”

    • Wheat Elliott Wave Analysis Function - Counter Trend Mode - Corrective Structure -Zigzag for wave (B) Position - Wave A of (B) Direction - Wave A is still in play Details -  As it appears the decline from 720’4 will most likely continue lower, we have adjusted the previous count. Price is now very likely in wave A of (B) against the 523’6 low. Wheat Elliott Wave Analysis Since late May, wheat has declined over 14% from 720, indicating that the commodity has retraced approximately half of the impulse rally that occurred between March 11th and May 28th. In the medium term, the move from March 11th remains a positive correction of the long-term bearish trend that spanned from March 2022 to March 2024—a two-year trend.   Daily Chart Analysis: On the daily chart, wheat completed a bearish impulse wave from March 2022 at 523’6 in March 2024. Following this trend, a corrective phase was anticipated in the opposite direction. The impulse reaction that concluded wave (A) at the May 2024 peak is part of this larger bullish correction. Given that wave (A) is an impulse, we can expect at least a zigzag structure or possibly a double zigzag if the bullish correction extends over several months. Following the path of least resistance, a simple zigzag structure—wave (A)-(B)-(C)—is highly probable. Currently, the price is correcting wave (A) downwards in wave (B). Provided that the ongoing decline stays above 523’6, an extension higher is expected. However, wave (B) does not appear to be finished yet, as evident from the H4 chart.   H4 Chart Analysis: On the H4 chart, the price seems to be in wave A of (B), which is evolving into an impulse structure. We anticipate a typical zigzag structure for wave (B). The invalidation level at 523’6 should not be breached. If it is, the long-term bearish trend from March 2022 will likely resume, confirming that the bullish correction from March 2024 has concluded.   Summary: Wheat has seen a significant decline since late May, retracing half of its recent impulse rally. The medium-term trend from March 11th remains a positive correction within the context of a long-term bearish trend that lasted two years. On the daily chart, the completion of the bearish impulse wave in March 2024 was followed by a bullish correction, which is currently in wave (B) of a zigzag structure. The H4 chart suggests that wave A of (B) is forming an impulse structure, with expectations of a typical zigzag correction.   Traders should monitor the key level of 523’6. If this level holds, the bullish correction is likely to continue with a potential extension higher. However, a breach below 523’6 would invalidate this scenario, signaling a continuation of the long-term bearish trend.  Technical Analyst : Sanmi Adeagbo Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial here!

    • COST Elliott Wave Analysis Trading Lounge Daily Chart, Costco Wholesale Corp., (COST) Daily Chart COST Elliott Wave Technical Analysis FUNCTION: Trend MODE: Impulsive STRUCTURE: Motive POSITION: Wave 5.   DIRECTION: Upside in wave {iii}. DETAILS: Looking for upside into wave {iii} as we seem to have completed wave {ii} of 5 after successfully completing the triangle in wave 4.     COST Elliott Wave Analysis Trading Lounge 4Hr Chart, Costco Wholesale Corp., (COST) 4Hr Chart COST Elliott Wave Technical Analysis FUNCTION: Trend MODE: Impulsive STRUCTURE: Motive POSITION: Wave (iii) of {iii} DIRECTION: Wave (iii). DETAILS: Looking for upside into wave (iii), knowing we could switch to a more conservative count where current wave (i) and (ii) is wave {iii} and {iv}. Equality of {iii} vs. {i} stands at 900$.   Welcome to our latest Elliott Wave analysis for Costco Wholesale Corp. (COST). This analysis provides an in-depth look at COST's price movements using the Elliott Wave Theory, helping traders identify potential opportunities based on current trends and market structure. We will cover insights from both the daily and 4-hour charts to offer a comprehensive perspective on COST's market behavior.   * COST Elliott Wave Technical Analysis – Daily Chart* In our Elliott Wave analysis of Costco Wholesale Corp. (COST), we observe an impulsive trend characterized by a motive structure. COST is currently positioned in wave 5, specifically in wave {iii} of 5, indicating an upside move. After successfully completing the triangle in wave 4, COST has finished wave {ii} of 5 and is now poised to move higher into wave {iii}. This wave is expected to gain momentum, pushing prices upward as it unfolds. Traders should monitor the progression of wave {iii} closely, as it may present opportunities for long positions, especially if COST continues to show strength above key resistance levels.   *COST Elliott Wave Technical Analysis – 4Hr Chart* On the 4-hour chart, COST is also following an impulsive trend within a motive structure, specifically in wave (iii) of {iii}. The analysis suggests an upside continuation into wave (iii), with an awareness that current wave (i) and (ii) might be a more conservative count as wave {iii} and {iv}. This suggests that if the market confirms this alternate view, COST could target equality of wave {iii} vs. wave {i} at $900. Traders should be prepared for potential adjustments in the wave count and watch for consolidation or corrective patterns that might precede further upward movements.   Technical Analyst : Alessio Barretta Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial here!
