The Last E-mini Standing (by SB)
While three of the four E-mini Futures Indices have broken below the bottom of
their uptrending channel, which began in June of this year, the
TF is still (just) holding within, as shown on the
Daily charts below…the one to watch for signs of increasing
weakness over the next few days.
Monthly/Weekly/Daily Cycles on Major Indices (by SB)
Looking at a top-down view of the 6 Major Indices, I would note
the following.
Monthly View
- + all just below the top of their recent highs
- + Stochastics indicator is in overbought territory, except for DJT & DJU
which is neutral - + major support is at the bottom Bollinger Band, which, generally, lies in the
vicinity of the Monthly 50 sma (red) - + while the 50 sma is still (just) above the 200 sma on the SPX, it has
recently crossed below on the ES, so it's now officially under
the bearish influences of a "Death Cross" formation on the
Monthly timeframe
