yes, phrased like that it more accurately captures the narrative - however should one not still have questioned that immediately?  because - what would have been a realistic expectation of what the Fed could have done, Powell could have said yesterday?  Rates at zero, they are already buying high yield bonds etc., just had confirmed the move to AIT in virtual Jackson Hole.  What could they have added at this stage?  And hence, which expectations exactly were so strongly disappointed to justify a roughly 66 points lower SPX overnight low?  After already around 27 points drop between pc and cash close?

...were expectations maybe for more buying on the longer end..?

think that this likely wasn't the only major factor.  maybe also still pressure from outstanding calls approaching expiry, for example  (that wouldn't explain a rebound today really, though..) 

 

I'm trying to become more careful with the common narratives flowing around. 

 

Dude ...

WTF are you on?

Tom?

How many years and you've never shown any trades?

don't need to show every trade because I've said dozens of times how I trade which is obviously a lot more helpful.

So for the hard of thinking I'll repeat again that I post the important levels because price moves between levels of supply and demand. The levels posted in advance were in the past important so may turn out again to be levels of dispute between buyers and sellers.

Between these levels are areas of range expansion, this is were I look for pullbacks on the lower time frame charts for entries to ride price onto the next level target.

However knowing what to do is not enough for some, they actually just want someone to continually give them the answers, they probably picked up this appalling habit in some cr@p socialist inspired education system.

guess this worked nicely for NDX recently..?  if you assumed at the Wednesday overnight low last week that the range is established, you had two full round-trips - four times 650 points or so..? 1197740991_USTech100Cash(1)_20200917_12_39.thumb.png.0d28a1a9744a15377a26a3d1d198e478.png

A post about trade management. I did not follow my playbook with respect to the hourly charts and at this point on the charts I was sucking the air between my teeth sitting on a loss short the Nikkei. But the longer time frame aspect of the trade idea was not invalidated. The resistance at around 23400 had not been breached and the Dow was still below the 50 Day MA. I was prepared to start scaling out at a loss if that resistance was breached but a series of lower highs emerged on the hourly charts. As Mr Dante says try to open a trade as close to the point where you know your wrong as you can, which I failed to do.

sorry for being block-headed, are you saying that it was wrong to short too far away from the resistance, because closing at the point were you would have considered your trade idea as invalidated would have come with a too large loss?  sounds like good advice..

why had you opened the trade anyway?

Well although it is one scaled into trade, for me it is two trades. A bad entry not following the playbook where the risk/return (distance) and probability would have been better and a good trade where I held onto it when the prospects (distance) were better.

So on a hourly time frame opening the trade was a mistake, but the trade management at a key level was better.

thanks, understood - was just wondering what made you enter it in spite of against your playbook - there must have been a valid reason, as in the end it worked out well

Just the general weakness in the US and European Indices and the view that they were unlikely to rise much further in the short term. But I did not have a specific set-up for the Nikkei which was showing strength at the time. I was also trying to trial trading longer time frames which I am not very good at. It is 1.45 AM Sydney time and it would be nice to change the hours I trade, but I doubt that I can.

    • AUDUSD Elliott Wave Analysis Trading Lounge Day Chart, Australian Dollar/U.S. Dollar (AUDUSD) Day Chart AUDUSD Elliott Wave Technical Analysis Function: Counter Trend Mode: Corrective Structure: Gray Wave 2 Position: Orange Wave 3 Next Higher Degree Direction: Gray Wave 3 Details: Gray Wave 1 appears to be complete, with Gray Wave 2 currently in progress. Wave Cancel Invalidation Level: 0.66237 The AUDUSD Elliott Wave Analysis for the daily chart shows that the market is currently in a counter-trend phase, defined by a corrective movement. This wave pattern operates in a corrective mode, suggesting that the market is undergoing a temporary pullback against the broader trend. The current wave structure under observation is Gray Wave 2, which is in effect following the completion of Gray Wave 1. Gray Wave 1 has finished, signaling the end of the initial impulsive move. Now, the market has transitioned into Gray Wave 2, which is typically a corrective phase that follows the first impulsive wave. According to Elliott Wave Theory, Wave 2 usually retraces a portion of Wave 1 before the market resumes its primary trend, which is expected to happen in Gray Wave 3. Wave 3 is often the most extended and powerful wave in an Elliott Wave cycle, indicating that significant movement is likely to occur once the corrective phase concludes. The next major movement, Gray Wave 3, is expected to continue the overarching trend once Gray Wave 2 completes its corrective cycle. The analysis highlights the importance of Gray Wave 2, as it will set the stage for the potential upward movement that follows. The critical invalidation level for this wave structure is 0.66237. If the market drops below this level, the current wave count will be considered invalid, necessitating a reevaluation of the Elliott Wave structure. This level serves as a key reference point for confirming whether the ongoing corrective action will hold and whether the trend is likely to resume as anticipated. Summary: The AUDUSD Elliott Wave Analysis for the daily chart indicates that Gray Wave 2 is active following the completion of Gray Wave 1. A corrective phase is underway, and the market is expected to shift into Gray Wave 3, which should result in substantial movement. The invalidation level of 0.66237 remains crucial for validating the wave structure.   Australian Dollar/U.S. Dollar (AUDUSD) 4-Hour Chart AUDUSD Elliott Wave Technical Analysis Function: Counter Trend Mode: Corrective Structure: Gray Wave 2 Position: Orange Wave 3 Next Higher Degree Direction: Gray Wave 3 Details: Gray Wave 1 appears to be complete, and Gray Wave 2 is now in progress. Wave Cancel Invalidation Level: 0.66237 The AUDUSD Elliott Wave Analysis for the 4-hour chart indicates that the market is currently in a counter-trend phase, which reflects a temporary correction against the broader trend. The mode of this movement is corrective, suggesting a pullback or pause within the overall trend. The wave structure under analysis is Gray Wave 2, which is developing within the ongoing corrective sequence. At this stage, Gray Wave 1 is considered complete, and the market has now entered Gray Wave 2. According to Elliott Wave Theory, Wave 2 usually represents a retracement or correction after the impulsive move of Wave 1. This corrective phase is typically short-lived before the market resumes its primary trend. Once Gray Wave 2 concludes, the next expected movement is Gray Wave 3. Wave 3 is generally one of the most powerful and extended waves within an Elliott Wave cycle, indicating a strong return to the dominant trend with significant momentum. The critical invalidation level for this analysis is 0.66237. If the market falls below this level, the current Elliott Wave count will be invalidated, requiring a reassessment of the wave structure. This level is key in confirming the continuation of the corrective phase and the eventual transition into Gray Wave 3. Summary: The AUDUSD Elliott Wave Analysis for the 4-hour chart shows that the market is in a corrective phase, with Gray Wave 2 currently in play following the completion of Gray Wave 1. Traders should anticipate the next move to be Gray Wave 3, which will resume the broader trend. The invalidation level of 0.66237 remains a crucial point for confirming the ongoing correction.

With mixed signals emerging, this article explores the current market dynamics and drives you to read the detailed Solana price prediction for future insights. Current Market Sentiment Bearish Signals Weighted Sentiment: Data from Santiment shows a notable drop in Solana’s Weighted Sentiment last week, indicating rising bearish sentiment among investors.

Potential Reversal Signs: A price drop accompanied by reduced trading volume often indicates the possibility of a bullish trend reversal, providing hope for investors. Market Neutrality Fear and Greed Index: The current Fear and Greed Index for Solana is at 54%, suggesting a neutral market sentiment. This indicates that the price could move in any direction. Technical Analysis MACD Indicator: The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) shows a bearish advantage, suggesting that sellers may have the upper hand in the short term.
