Market Update 5/11 – Yen Crosses Breaking Down?

ByJamie Saettele

DIA DAILY

No change to DIA other than reminding that 313.50 is perhaps 1 day away.  The ‘trend’ is lower and the channel low near 297.50 is more important but bear market rallies are sharp and one could occur from near 313.50.  332.70 or so remains key resistance if reached.

5/9 – DIA (Dow ETF) levels are extremely well-defined.  A massive top is completed and the biggest level on this chart is 297.50 (or so).  A drop to that level would represent a 20% drop from the all-time high.  In the grand scheme of things, that’s fairly normal.  Possible trading levels before then include 313.50 (VWAP from the March 2020 low) and 332.70 for resistance (former support).  The full view of the structure from the 2020 low is shown below.

U.S. T BOND FUTURES WEEKLY

We looked at the 30 year yield 2 days ago so why not take a look at bond futures after the long bond yield has dropped.  Amazingly, bond futures reversed right at the parallel symmetrical to the median line that nailed the March 2020 COVID high.  What this means is that the parallel on this week’s low is equidistant to the parallel that tagged the March 2020 high.  This is a perfect example of median line symmetry and reinforced the bullish bonds ‘call’.  Bonds are working on a weekly reversal (close up chart is below) as well.

5/9 – The 30 year U.S. yield traded 3.309% today before fading back.  Today’s high was right at the 28 year trendline (to the tick).  We did get a key reversal on TLT but volume was just slightly above average.  In any case, one has to start thinking about long bonds here (yields declining) and consider the potential that the next market phase is traditional risk-off (bonds up, stocks down, Yen up, etc).

USDJPY 4 HOUR

USDJPY has broken the trendline from the late March low.  I’m bearish.  130.40/50 is now proposed resistance.

5/9 – The line off of lows in March and April for USDJPY is the breakdown level.  This line was support after FOMC last week so consider the line ‘verified’.  A drop below opens up a possible double top with recent highs and finally the potential for a much needed counter trend move.  Also, the possibility of a ceiling (at least for a while) in yields adds to the USDJPY short intrigue.  Bond yield and USDJPY is below.

AUDJPY DAILY

AUDJPY has completed a 7 week head and shoulders top.  The measured objective from the pattern is 86, which is in line with the October high.

5/9 – AUDJPY is pressing the neckline from a nearly 2 month topping pattern.  The objective from the pattern is 86.  A possible near term path is outlined in which price resumes lower in order to test a short term median line before a bounce materializes.  The short opportunity would be on that bounce with resistance near 90.75.

Market Update 2/14 – Gold Breakout and Crude Resistance

ByJamie Saettele

Gold has broken out and the next level to focus on is 1920. This is near the June high and possible channel resistance from the channel that originates at the September low. It’s also the 2011 high. If price pulls back then support should be 1842/47. The top of this zone is the center line of the noted channel. The bottom of the zone is the top side of former trendline resistance.

Market Update 1/20 – Short Term Capitulation in Equities?

ByJamie Saettele

SPX printed 4447 after the close. This is a good spot for a bounce, especially given elevated volumes in SPY and QQQ today. The red bars on the charts below indicate when the volume is at least 1.5 x the 20 day average at a 50 day low. The market usually bounces following one of these high volume days, although there are of course exceptions. My ‘favored’ view is that price bounces but that the bounce fails near 4530.

COPPER FUTURES 4 HOUR

Market Update 10/12 – Watch Copper Here!

ByJamie Saettele

Today was important for copper as price reversed lower from well-defined trendline resistance. Simply, if copper is bearish then weakness will accelerate while price remains beneath today’s high. A break above would indicate an important behavior change and suggest that corrective action since May is complete and that another leg up within a longer term bull market is underway.

Market Update 5/10 – GBP Crosses Reach Important Levels

ByJamie Saettele

GBPUSD has soared over the last 2 trading days. Today’s break above the well-defined 1.4000 could propel price on its next leg up within the long term bull move but there is consideration for resistance at the current level. Daily reversal resistance is 1.4140 (2/24 close) and the underside of the trendline from the March 2020 low is slightly higher (red line). Let’s see what happens over the next few days.

Market Update 4/19 – USD Dumps – What Now?

Market Update 4/19 – USD Dumps – What Now?

ByJamie Saettele

The sharp USD drop on Monday makes me neutral at best for now. I had wanted to see USDOLLAR hold the median line from the multiyear structure in order to stay constructive (see below). That said, DXY has reached VWAP from the January low and USDOLLAR has reached the 3/18 low. The 61.8% retrace for USDOLLAR is slightly lower at 11705. Keep an eye on these levels for possible support.
