Stock markets hit buy levels and bounce

  1. Emini S&P December barely moving as we trade mostly sideways for 7 sessions. The low & high for the last session were 5756 - 5820. (To compare the spread to the contract you trade)

  2. Emini Nasdaq December hit my target & buying opportunity at 42350/250. Last session high & low for the last session were: 20056 - 20287.

  3. Emini Dow Jones December longs at 42350/250 worked perfectly, hitting both targets before the close. Last session high & low for the last session were: 42245 - 42715.

Emini SP 500 September futures

  • Emini S&P moved very little last week, holding a 85 point range as we are struggle to push higher in severely overbought conditions. Shorts are a bad idea without a sell signal in such a strong longer term bull trend.

  • So I have no strong signals but if we continue higher look for 5875/85, perhaps as far as 5900/05.

  • My best suggestion on how to trade this market is to buy at support but be quick to take a profit in the low volatility conditions.

  • HOWEVER unfortunately we over ran the next support at 5775/5770 hitting 5756 before seeing the expected rebound.

  • If we continue lower today look for strong support at 5745/35 & longs need stops below 5730. Targets: 5755 & 5765.

  • A break lower this week however could target 5695/90 & even support at 5680/70. Longs here need stops below 5660.

Nasdaq September futures

  • The break above the August high of 20217/251 hit my targets of 20330/340 & 20400/430, but not quite as far as 20600 just yet, with a high for the week at 20538.

  • We just held at support at 20250/150 yesterday but longs need stops below 20050.

  • If we continue lower this week we meet very strong support at 19900/800 & longs need stops below 19700.

Chart

Emini Dow Jones September futures

  • We wrote: I think gains are likely to be limited in severely overbought conditions but there is definitely no sell signal & I will remain a  buyer on any profit taking.

  • We did dip as far as support at 42350/250 as predicted & this did prove to be an excellent buying opportunity but longs need stops below 42150 on a retest today.

  • Targets of 42500 & 42650 were hit immediately, meaning we caught the low & high for the day.

  • A break lower this week however risks a slide to 42000/41900 & longs need stops below 41800.

EUR/USD remains offered below 1.1600, seems vulnerable near multi-month low

The EUR/USD pair struggles to capitalize on the overnight bounce from the 1.1530 region, or the lowest level since November 2025, and lower for the third consecutive day on Wednesday. Spot prices slide back below the 1.1600 mark during the Asian session and seem vulnerable to slide further.

GBP/USD slips below key averages as geopolitical risks mount

GBP/USD fell about 0.35% on Tuesday, settling around 1.3350 after slipping below the 200-day Exponential Moving Average for the first time since early December. The pair has pulled back sharply from its late-January high near 1.3870, shedding over 500 pips in a series of lower highs and lower lows. 

Gold bounces back toward $5.200 amid sustained safe-haven flows

Gold bounces back toward $5,200 in Wednesday's Asian session, moving away from an over one-week low. Sustained safe-haven flows, amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, act as a tailwind for the bullion. However, a bullish US Dollar and reduced bets for more aggressive easing by the US Fed might keep a lid on the non-yielding yellow metal ahead of the US ADP report and ISM Services PMI data due later in the day.

Ripple (XRP) has come under pressure, drifting lower to $1.35 at the time of writing on Tuesday. The over 2% correction looks poised to erase the previous day’s gains, which lifted the remittance token to $1.42.
