20250725 pre market



News
Discussions about EU trade deal

Condition 1
breaking out of 3w balance
yesterday neutral day which is a form of short term balance
> a break below this would be interesting

Condition 0
eth confirms short term balance

Thoughts
I am not interested in shorts
I am only interested in longs after a shake at least below yesterday low

20250804 pre market



News
10:00 factory orders

Condition 1
2 days of selling with a test of an interesting level (low of 3 week balance and yearly vwap sd1)
I have no idea if the selling is done (and this level holds) or if we see more selling

As always, use milestones (for example the gap) to judge what happens

Condition 0
We open 0,6% higher near fridays h which could bring some sellers in trouble especially if we find accepance in the gap

Thoughts
We are in a very NEWSY market
So do not rely too heavely on technicals

We came in high and looked strong the first minutes
Then we failed and liquidated
But shorts were not able to follow through

20250806 pre market



News
10;30 crude
13:00 10y auction

Condition 1
The narrative of the dip that gets bought is not over but damaged a bit with yesterdays liquidation
As we know tops in the market (as opposed to bottoms) tend to develop slowly
I have no bias, i take it step by step

Condition 0
we open in middle of yesterdays range
> trade later

Thoughts
Expect chop in yesterdays belly
Watch what happens at its edges
