Market Update 5/2 – SPX Squeeze Time?

ByJamie Saettele

SPX500 DAILY

SPX took out the 2/24 low (invasion low) before reversing higher to finish with a high volume reversal (see below).  The low was right at the median line of the bearish fork too.  Sentiment across virtually all major asset classes is insanely extreme (USD, bonds, and equities).  The median line tag and reversal from under the February low is a perfect setup for a squeeze higher.  If however price breaks below the median line then the market would be in crash territory.

SPOT GOLD DAILY

Today’s gold dump opens up 1824/34.  This level is massive.  It’s the 200 day average, trendline from 2018, top side of former trendline resistance, and 2 equal legs down from the high.  That level has to hold otherwise gold can’t be considered bigger picture bullish.  Maybe gold is the ‘tell’ for the USD in that the metal finds support in the noted zone just as the USD tops.

BRITISH POUND FUTURES DAILY

GBPUSD made a 2 day volume reversal on Friday (futures).  Euro and DXY also made 2 day volume reversals but I don’t have well-defined levels in those markets.  Recall that GBPUSD made a low on Thursday at the top side of a 7 year trendline.  Also, near term price action is constructive (see below) from an Elliott standpoint.  There is a high volume level at 1.2566.  Strength above would warrant a long position towards 1.2770/70.

4/28 – GBPUSD tagged the topside of the trendline from the 2015 high.  Again, this line crosses 3 yearly highs.  Daily RSI is below 19.  Prior readings this low over the last 20 years are shown with magenta dots on this chart and the following 2 charts.  The combination of the level and the RSI reading have me on reversal watch.  Stay tuned.

USDJPY DAILY

USDJPY has reached the center line of an 11 year channel.  This is a ‘logical’ spot for at least some consolidation to begin.  Weekly RSI is above 88 (see below).  This has happened once…in 2013.  Following that reading, price dropped 400 pips in 3 weeks before resuming higher.  There is a high volume level at 129.70.  I’ll use that as a pivot (below warrants a short).

Market Update – May 1

ByJamie Saettele

ES reversed back below 2939.75 so I’m treating today’s high as a risk point for shorts. Proposed resistance is 2923/32, which were intraday supports on Tuesday. A proposed downside swing target is 2670ish. This is the median line of the bearish fork from the October 2018 high (was support on 3/10 before the 3/12 breakdown). VWAP from the low is currently 2672.50. This figure will rise slightly each day.

Trading the last few days in indices and FX is best described as a summer lull. That said, SPX focus remains on 2888. Price has respected the short term median line and 25 line the last few days. Expect acceleration lower in the median line breaks. I have no opinion on whether or not the 25 line continues to act as resistance. If it does not then the upper parallel should be watched for resistance near 3120.

Market Update 2/22 – USDRUB Reverses…Time for a Risk Squeeze?

ByJamie Saettele

You may have heard that Russia is in the news. USDRUB reversed sharply lower today after tagging daily reversal resistance (daily high close from March 2020). This level was also resistance in November 2020 (U.S. election). The reversal lower today ‘fits’ with a coming squeeze in equities and a pullback in gold. I’m wondering if the USD also breaks down. The chart below shows USDRUB and DXY since the beginning of the year. Let’s see…

Market Update 3/2 – AUDUSD Median Line Trade Setup

ByJamie Saettele

AUDUSD broke above the median line today so longs are in play. The top side of the median line is proposed support now (formerly resistance) near .7265. This is also the year and month opening prices. One benefit to trading with median lines are tight stops. That’s especially useful in this instance given the proximity of the January high and 200 day average as possible resistance. Upside focus is .7370 followed by .7420s.
