Three Wise Patterns Bearing Gifts Of Volatility

By -

I hope everyone had a great holiday, and so far this week the tape has been pretty tedious. However I bring glad tidings, as the pattern setup here says that is likely to be changing in the near future. I’ve included my full premarket video today just to show that even with interesting things likely to start happening on equity indices, there are still more interesting things happening on many other markets this week.

The equity indices section is at the start of the video, followed by quick looks at DX, CL, NG, HG, GC, ZB, KC, SB, CC, ZW, EURUSD, GBPUSD, JPYUSD, CADUSD, AUDUSD and NZDUSD. Enjoy! Intraday Video – Update on ES, NQ and TF:

Return To Santa, Address Unknown

By -

I’m definitely in a holiday mood this week. That’s not really due to declining workload, by the time I finish today I’ll have published between 55 and 60 charts and three videos, but nonetheless the holidays are in the air and I’m feeling festive.

Santa has been AWOL for a couple of days on the indices though, and while I’m expecting this to resolve up into high retests we are starting to run a little short of time this week. Intraday Video – Update on ES, NQ and TF:

Probably A Dip To Buy

By -

I was seeing a possibility of a retracement  last night and was talking about that this morning in my premarket vid. The 60min sell signals on ES and NQ have made target but there is a strong case on NQ for a hit of a wedge support trendline currently in the 6460 area and that has not yet been hit. On TF this is likely to be a pullback to establish a rising support trendline before the high probability retest of the all time high, though obviously this is a big news bomb week.

Twas The Week Before Xmas

By -

A strong start to the week, and we’re likely to see at least some more upside, as the double bottom on RUT/TF that I was looking at on Friday has broken up with a target at a retest of the all time highs. I’m expecting that target to be hit. NQ is testing the trendline resistance I gave last week, and may break up to a higher one. ES is close to the 2700 test and on a break above I have a resistance trendline in the 2711 area. Intraday Video – Update on ES, NQ and TF:

RUT – The Sleeping Giant Awakens?

By -

Back to back reversal trend days which we haven’t seen in a while, and NQ has now made the new ATH that Stan and I were looking for. My video was moved from premarket to just before midday this morning, as a big Windows 10 update took my media computer hostage for several hours and I had to wait for that to finish. Here is the section on ES, SPX, NQ and TF. Intraday Video – Update on ES, NQ and TF:
