US stock market continue to trend higher

Emini S&P December made a contract high at 5830 but reversed to 5778.
The low & high for the last session were 5778 - 5830.
Emini Nasdaq December is in a very slow 2 month bull trend, recovering from the late August collapse.
Last session high & low for the last session were: 20188 - 20538.
Emini Dow Jones December collapsed leaving a bearish engulfing candle on Wednesday but recovered most of the losses yesterday, so the candle was probably a false signal.
Fortunately I ignored the signal & had us buying at first support at 42270/230.
The long worked perfectly as we shot higher to 42594.
Last session high & low for the last session were: 42231 - 42594.

Emini S&P September futures

Emini S&P beat 5805 for a buy signal & hit the next target of 5830/35 but then unexpectedly reversed.
We have moved very little this week & are struggling to push higher in severely overbought conditions but of course, 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.
First support at 5795/90 & longs need stops below 5785.
Next support at 755/5770 should be stronger but longs need stops below 5765.
Look for 10 to 15 points profit on these trades.
Strong support at 5745/35 & longs need stops below 5730.
Targets: 5755 & 5765.

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 day yesterday at 20538.
We made a low for the day at support at 20250/150 but longs need stops below 20050.
Very strong support at 19900/800 & longs need stops below 19700.

Emini Dow Jones September futures

Longs at first support at 42270/230 worked perfectly & longs need stops below 42050 if the level is retested today.
We may start a consolidation phase now, where we trade in a sideways pattern to ease overbought conditions.
A break lower risks a slide to 41900/800.
We could have resistance again at 42650/680.
However a break above 42700 can target 42800/820, perhaps as far as 43000/43100.

EUR/USD keeps the rangebound trade near 1.1850

EUR/USD is still under pressure, drifting back towards the 1.1850 area as Monday’s session draws to a close. The modest decline in spot comes as the US Dollar picks up a bit of support, while thin liquidity and muted volatility, thanks to the US market holiday, are exaggerating price swings and keeping trading conditions choppy.

GBP/USD flirts with daily lows near 1.3630

GBP/USD has quickly given back Friday’s solid gains, turning lower at the start of the week and drifting back towards the 1.3630 area.

Gold battle around $5,000 continues

Gold is giving back part of Friday’s sharp rebound, deflating below the key $5,000 mark per troy ounce as the new week gets underway. Modest gains in the US Dollar are keeping the metal in check, while thin trading conditions, due to the Presidents Day holiday in the US, are adding to the choppy and hesitant tone across markets.

AI Crypto Update: Bittensor eyes breakout as AI tokens falter

The artificial intelligence (AI) cryptocurrency segment is witnessing heightened volatility, with top tokens such as Near Protocol (NEAR) struggling to gain traction amid the persistent decline in January and February.

The week ahead: Key inflation readings and why the AI trade could be overdone

It is likely to be a quiet start to the week, with US markets closed on Monday for Presidents Day. European markets are higher across the board and gold is clinging to the $5,000 level after the tamer than expected CPI report in the US reduced haven flows to precious metals.
