Bounced off 200DMA and of course FOMC coupled with missed ERs and Hopium drove it up up and away.
Broke above DT line but indicators show bearish divergence, price rising while Stoch RSI falls.
Trades at upper Bolly Band. as Bad news has had such a positive effect can hardly imagine what Good news might bring!
Fed sez another 75bp hike next month. Is it priced in? Anybody's guess.
NB: This post suggests no future path, only observing key signs.
Will it selloff to retest 200DMA? Or ignore logic and reason to bull higher in face of adversity? Stay tuned.
Would not chase this long.
NB: Close on 7/27 perfects harmonic cypher pattern. These usually sell, sooner than later.
And it has sold off after FOMC twice.

Reuters:
"The U.S. economy unexpectedly shrank in the spring.
The Commerce Department's advance take on second quarter GDP (USGDPA=ECI) showed a quarterly annualized contraction of 0.9% from April through June, defying analysts' expected 0.5% expansion.
The negative print arrives on the heels of the first quarter's 1.6% contraction, which would appear to suggest recession has arrived.
While two consecutive negative GDP readings is broadly seen as the standard definition of an economy in contraction, the "recession" call is officially relegated to the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), which uses a more nuanced formula to determine economic cycles.
"The market has been forecasting a recession," says Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Spartan Capital Securities in New York. "From a textbook viewpoint, this is a recession and a mild one."

Surprise negative growth is met with a surprise rally! Yay! Amazing, fools and their money.
I spose they are betting on a shallow recession, quick recovery and inflation easing. All of which is possible.
Gas prices off from highs after a month.
I still think the Fat Lady did not yet sing.

Well we got bearish divergence on indicators and now between indexes. Those Ers pop NAZ >1% but DJI is unmoved. All the lift is from big tech. Intel tanks AH.
This certainly could get to the 0.50 fibo at 4228 next week; beyond that, seems unlikely imo.

NB: The 0.62 fibo at 4367 is almost certainly the highest price we might see before EOY imo.
Real bear markets last for 9-15 months on average. This one is six months old now and the rally is typical and expected.
High price may come in August or first week of September. in 2020 ATH was 03 September, a likely date.

Hopetardium. Banked a bit more but how NQ is up 300 pips, Sand P double topping, is beyond me, yet it does it.
Small drawdown in bear shares, holding on. The dump will be a nasty surprise. Could be days up here though.
Watch the puts evaporate. coulda shorted some fgs.

Call options 1dte such joy. Calls I bought for 1.70 early and flipped for 2 bucks are now trading for 2.30, after QQQ price moved up +50c. This is b/c:
1. Time runs out geometrically towards eod, even for tomorrow's calls;
2. You trade time value for intrinsic value as price pumps, so until it really starts to move the option doesn't appreciate much. OFC if it pops up 3 bucks you win.
I like to trade 1dte on tues & thurs, you don't pay a big premium and risk is limited to what you spend. Monthlys are really spendy, you can buy a $9 call and enjoy watching it turn into 11 or 12 bucks if you're lucky; or see how fast it gets to $4, lol.
For swing trades weeklies are best on Mondays, in a bull run they go up all week. Haven't seen much of that this year, until last week, lol. Just sayin. You can lose on these damned things so fast it ain't funny.
Plenty of times I bought $2 calls and watched in horror as they instantly became 75c or less. Sometimes the sell is so fast, the price flickers and it's over before you can open a trade order screen. Not for faint of heart!
If you are bearish, see a bear pattern or just think 'it's coming down' you can bet in the dailies cheap and limit loss if you're wrong. When it moves they pop in a hurry.
Yesterday early am i loaded up 20 0dte puts and went for coffee. Watching the price change slightly favorable, and suddenly they show +$1200, it was instant, intraday gap; ofc I closed quick as can but it takes 10s to open a trade order and send it, got $1k by then, lol. These move so gdmd fast it aint funny.
Calls can pop too but usually it's a painful slow grind and u sit biting nails waiting for the lift. If it takes too long, return to 1. above and see how you can lose when you win, lol.

Well we got a different kinda gap, looks like the rally is done. Sorry if you followed this trade, we know this is risky biz.

Bought 411c, flipped, closed all cut loss in half. More to follow. Look for a partial gapfill, not shorting it here.
コメント:
Flipped a few more qqq, spy calls. could get a gapfill or might just chop for awhile. Since we are clearly not in a recession, a global financial crisis event seems less likely imo. A massive selloff is certainly possible this Fall but more likely seems rangebound trading, with sell back to support, rally, sell back, enter a channel.
IDK just a possibility, eh? Wouldn't bet on a massive decline just yet.

Yeah so looking bearish again. DO NOT be surprised if CPI is a pleasant improvement to see this MFR jump like Hell. Would not get full bore short until we see the numbers AND the reaction.
You know how the damned thing will behave unpredictably to these CPI reports. Bad news that's less bad might be an excuse to bull. Good news that's less good than hoped would be an excuse to sell again.
No way to properly anticipate this until you see the elephant.

Gonna wait to EOD see if this gap fills. Got a bit playing both ways today. Really expected the gap to fill early; that it did not is bearish, suggests the bull run is over imo. Pretty confident we topped Monday PM. Will know after we see the reaction to CPI + PPI, EOW.
