And ... back down it goes

What happens on market open?

Overnight orders are processed, many are profit taking, plus new orders are entered onto the system hence there is always a period of whipsawing before real direction is revealed so it pays to wait for to dust to settle before deciding.

Short Covering Can Only Take You This Far, Now Show Me The Money (1500 Gmt)
Call it a "rally of hope" or the normalisation trade, a whopping 35% jump from March trough and more than $15 trillion in market value addition and no inflows into equities does raise a lot of questions.

Citi suspects that the sharp rise in stock markets has been driven by a closing of shorts. Its Risk Positioning Monitor shows that recent moves higher in equities have been accompanied by significant short covering.

Barclays also believes the bulk of the rally was triggered by short covering.

Both banks say most of the short covering is now over and any upside from here will need new longs to be established and/or inflows.

"Continued equity market upside is thus contingent on real money buying going forward, which we believe could happen soon if macro and volatility conditions continue to normalize," Barclays analysts write in a note.

The indices are powering on through Tabitha, surely they are going to retest their ATHs soon.  (Listen to me, pretending to know what I talk about 🤠 )

No reason why not if the economy is turned back on. Next major resistance level for S&P is 3138 (monthly R1 and previous high March).

The Nikkei is well through that level and I am short with a price alarm at 22,626. Lets see.

The Nikkei is even further advanced, why short?  Overbought?

I think it is overextended in the last 10 days as it approaches the 31/01/2020 low. Of course I may be forced to hedge some of the position.

Nikkei has a window to close, up to the 88.6% 😻

I am still actively managing a short on the Nikkei. I closed out half when it traded below levels I sold at. My plan at the moment is to double up with a tight stop if it approaches the high and hedge if it if goes through the high. Alternatively I will just scalp on the long side for a different index.

    • Hi The Alerts do not function or can be edited the same as it is in the old platform. THAT will be a real turn off for me. It's been a long while that alerts do not function the same (ie the editing of alerts). I'll be looking elsewhere if that function is not fixed pronto. Hope you get onto it.
    • If every expert is suggesting that the Bitcoin price will only increase in the long run and as it becomes more and more scarce, isn't it a guaranteed way to make money? Why shouldn't everyone invest all their money if that's the case? And if it's true, where does this money coming from and what impacts it have on the economy?
    • Hi @KoketsoIG, Thanks for investigating margin requirements in another thread. Could you kindly check with the relevant team what overnight credit (column swap bid in platform watchlists) was applied for short USD/TRY positions at the end of the trading day on Thu, March 14? WBR
