Something of a mini 1 hour flash crash yesterday at 4 pm on no news, indicative of a jittery market that is up against a boundary and has already priced in improved trade relations between US and China but still waiting for some actual proof.

Dow found support at 25608 then again more recent at 25757. The first target for the bulls will be to get above the old daily support line at 25868.

US non-manu PMI today at 3:00 pm forecast is 57.4

Dax dropped just below 11569 (red) and will be interesting to see if the bulls can get price back up and over and may provide a hint as to the direction of the Dow today.

Dow remains confused over direction and is ranging between 25726 and 25894 despite yesterday's non-manu PMI beat of 59.7.

Dax is following Dow while Ftse continues to dance to the Brexit deal or no deal headlines. Meanwhile the Shanghai Composite continues full steam ahead.

Yesterday's Dow daily was a bearish bar taking price down to the support level created by the drop on Monday (25608 orange) so will be looking to see if this support holds today. Dow has the ECB rate decision (12:45) and the Draghi presser (1:30) to look forward to today. Though these have been dull affairs lately this one might be more interesting if the ECB change their outlook.

Another daily bear bar yesterday for Dow and Dax, Dax was caught up in the downward pressure on the Dow on the US market open after initially getting a boost from Draghi's dovish comments.

Also a big move down overnight for Nikkei. China reports exports down again for Feb and now down 16% y/y.

Already a lot of selling pressure on Dax pre-European open this morning.

"How much impact did #ecb QE have?QE created artificial steepening.German 2/10 curve is as flat as it was when QE started in 2015. So central bank inflated its balance sheet to 2.65trl & moment it stop,growth+infla expectations plunge!Europe is a dying patient on a morphine drip."

Not that much of a reaction to the very low NFP number, just 20k as opposed to the 180k forecast. The reason being the Unemployment Rate actually went down from 3.9% to 3.8% and Average Hourly Earnings increase m/m went up from 0.3% to 0.4%.

The mid-week adp result (see posts above) once again signaled the direction of the Bureau of Labor figures. 

US market open coming up has seen a drop in the Dow every day so far this week (if memory serves). Let's see.

On the daily charts and Dow looking for support at 25214 while Dax does to same at 11404 following a 5 day drop though Friday saw a daily pin bar for both off those respective support levels so today may see the bulls rally. US retail sales data today 12:30 instead of the usual 1:30 due to summer time clock change in the US.

Worth remembering that a bear market doesn't start from the high point of a bull market (and visa-versa). You might look at rejection of a test on resistance as a short-term shorting opportunity but don't lose sight of the overall trend which is Daily chart Bull and Weekly and Monthly chart Consolidation.

Constant chatter on up coming commons vote;

"Brexiteer tells me a defeat by over 100 is on the cards. Here's why: - AG says backstop could trap us still - ERG says it cannot support - DUP's Dodds implies they won't back it.

"Charles Walker, vice-chairman of the 1922 committee & staunch defender of PM, says she will have to call election if deal is defeated: 'If it doesn't go through as sure as night follows day there will be a General Election within a matter of days or weeks. It is not sustainable'"

We didn't get our continuation bar yesterday but rather a weak attempt to reverse. Will wait for the London open to gauge direction from here.

Dow will look to retest 25214 or aim for yesterday's high 25763. 

Dax in same situ, test of support at 11404 or yesterday's high at 11634.

Ftse, well who knows where that's going, looks to be sitting out the brexit game at this stage.

So from yesterday's post Dow did go back up to test 25763 but stalled there. Both Dow and Dax looking at long term resistance levels but lacking the impetus to attack them and not much on the calendar that might provide a push.

Ftse still sat on the sidelines while the brexit tug of war continues.

On the weekly charts Dow is looking to continue towards a retest of 26241 with the daily resistance level just ahead at 25927. 

Ftse is at the weekly resistance level 7262 and relative clear space above if can break through.

Dax is hanging around 11700 and should follow Dow if Dow can push up.

As was going to be in the APAC report the markets are reluctant to move too much immediately before the FOMC rate decision and report tomorrow, Dow content to mosey on up to the fence and just peek over to the other side as is Dax and Nikkei. Ftse has made a break for it and will be interesting to see if it can make that stick today.

Interesting day yesterday with an unexpected shoot for the top and fall back. Getting in on a high immediately before FOMC would have been ambitious and the market seems to have thought better of it.

FOMC at the changed time of 6:00 pm today with the presser at 6:30.

Something seems to be stirring in Downing street, May wanted an extension to June 30th,

EU says May's letter arrives too late and rumoured to demand extension must be to Dec,

May calls a cabinet meeting today which lasts just minutes before they are all back out on the street with long faces (according to Guy Lambert BBC).

Rumours that May will make a statement at some time soon today.

Good read in the APAC brief on the double edged sword of the FOMC meet yesterday causing an initial jump higher in indices on reduced expectation of rate rises then reflection and price recall with future growth not so certain and a reduction in general risk appetite. Gold took off and hasn't looked back. Same for USD except in the opposite direction.

Dow is currently looking to retest support at 25658 and same for Dax which is heading down towards 11569.

Ftse with it's Brexit concerns coiling down mid range and Nikkei heading to close around support at 21422.

    • Cardano (ADA) is one of the most talked-about cryptocurrencies, with its price currently sitting at $0.3556. But what does the future hold for ADA? Let’s break down the key predictions and market developments in this ADA price prediction article. Optimistic Price Predictions Potential Rise to $1 by 2024: Some analysts are predicting that Cardano could reach $1 by the end of 2024, showing strong potential for growth. 17% Gain Predicted by November: CoinCodex forecasts that ADA could rise by 17% and hit $0.4249 by November 6, 2024. This is backed by the fact that 63% of the past month’s trading days were "green," signaling positive market momentum. Concerns and Bearish Predictions Max Keiser's Bold Prediction: Max Keiser stirred controversy with his prediction that ADA could lose 90% of its value compared to Bitcoin in the next six months. This pessimistic outlook has raised concerns among investors. Price Volatility: Over the last six months, Cardano’s price has dropped by 39.93%, reflecting significant volatility. However, if bulls manage to push the price above $0.43, ADA could see a rise to $0.49, an increase of 25%. Community and Rumors Charles Hoskinson Denies Rumors: Recently, rumors surfaced that Cardano’s founder, Charles Hoskinson, sold 1 billion ADA during the last bull market. Hoskinson quickly shot down the speculation, calling it false and stating, “It didn’t happen. People just lie. It’s how the internet works now.” Generosity Joke Gone Wrong: The rumors began when Cardano supporter Jason Appleton jokingly asked if a helicopter seen in a Fox News clip belonged to Hoskinson, hinting at the costs of his charitable efforts. This comment spiraled into baseless claims that Hoskinson had cashed out during ADA’s peak price of $3.60. Future Developments and Roadmap Leios Upgrade: Cardano’s new roadmap includes the Leios upgrade, which will greatly improve the network’s scalability. This could attract more users and enhance ADA’s long-term potential. Large Transactions Spike: In September 2024, Cardano saw a spike in large transactions, with a monthly high of 5,070 transactions. This indicates growing interest in the platform, despite recent price fluctuations. While the short-term future of Cardano remains uncertain, its strong community and upcoming developments offer reasons for optimism. Investors will need to keep a close eye on ADA’s price movements and the broader market trends as we head into 2024.  
    • Gold Elliott Wave Analysis Gold has completed the pullback from late September and is now in recovery toward another high as the all-time bullish impulse cycle continues. In the short term, further rallies are expected while pullbacks are expected to end above the 10-October low. Daily Chart Analysis From an Elliott wave perspective, the daily chart shows that Gold initiated a cycle degree impulse wave sequence in October 2022. Waves I and II of this sequence concluded in May 2023 and October 2023, respectively. Currently, the metal is in the third wave, and within it, wave III appears incomplete. Specifically, Gold is in wave 5 of (3) of 3 (circled) of III, indicating that there is significant upside potential remaining. This suggests that Gold's bullish trend is far from over, and traders should be vigilant for potential pullbacks, which could offer attractive buying opportunities as the upward trend resumes. H4 Chart Analysis On the H4 chart, the price completed wave iv of (iii) and is now upside in wave v of (iii) of ((iii)). By projection, wave (iii) could extend to 2767 before the next pullback in wave (iv) of ((iii)) begins. Traders should focus on the buy side of this market and find entries from pullbacks.
