The Daily Market Forecast
For Wed 210804 (Plenty can change by the open, be aware.)
Globex Review: Very narrow range. One trade taken shorting the CPL, getting T1 and stopping out the balance. CPL came off the chart so the short at 4417 (includes yesterday’s high) is ON until the day session starts.
Day Session Analysis: All things considered, today looks range-bound. Daily chart in a range, hourly as well. World sentiment is MIXED. No market-moving economic reports. Willing to trade in either direction, mindful of potential reversals in the big picture range-bound chart. Taking quicker profit than usual until (if) a trend breaks intraday. Wednesday (both sessions combined) garnered 24% of all the gains over the past 5 years in dollars. Reversals (74%) crush Breakouts (26%). Trading ES Volume Profile, CL/GC/ES using BB Rev with new filters considered and looking for credit spread opportunities on the SPXW.
S&P 500 Futures CPL: 4409/4414. We’re trading JUST BELOW the CPL (short edge below,...

Trading ES Volume Profile, CL/GC/ES using BB Rev with new filters considered and looking to establish a Credit Spread ladder on the SPXW.

For Monday 210802 (Plenty can change by the open, be aware.)
The Mortgage Payment Trade is currently profitable both ways with SPY +1.95 and TLT -0.62.
Globex Review: Risk on. Asia made a strong comeback. One trade taken (short) with two targets in the bag before stopping out the final third.
Day Session Analysis: Mixed evidence today. Charts suggest continued melt-up. World sentiment is BULLISH but that historically brings out profit-takers. ISM MFG report @ 10:00 might help decide direction. Stats favor SHORTS running further than LONGS. Monday (both sessions combined) garnered 27% of all the gains (in dollars) over the past 5 years.
S&P 500 Futures CPL: 4386.25/4393.25. We’re trading ABOVE the CPL (short edge below, long edge above).
