Emini S&P September futures

Crashed through support at 5545/35 for a sell signal & hit 5462.
Minor resistance at 5500/05 could see a high for the morning but the best sell opportunity for the day is at 5520/25 & shorts need stops above 5535.
Targets: 5505, 5490, 5470

A break above 5535 is a buy signal targeting 5545 & 5560.

A break below 5458 is a sell signal targeting 5425 & an excellent buying opportunity at 5410/00.
Longs need stops below 5385.

Nasdaq September futures

Emini Nasdaq shorts at resistance at 20030/080 worked perfectly hitting all targets as far as 19600 for a quick & easy potential 450 tick profit

However longs at the buying opportunity at 19530/470 were stopped below 19400 giving back around 100 ticks of the profit on the day.

There is minor support in the 19200/100 area but I do not feel confident that it will holding as downside momentum builds.
If you fancy the gamble, stop below 19,000.

Further losses can target strong support at 18830/730.
Longs need stops below 18600.

Gold remains supported by China's buying and USD weakness as traders eye US data

Gold struggles to capitalize on its intraday move up and remains below the $5,100 mark heading into the European session amid mixed cues.
