h of big balance below us is a good signpost
Any change to the downside needs to find acceptabnce below
For now sellers were not even able to close the first gap of two

20251104 recap


Captured the early covering nicely with good exits
Normally i do not go for a second move in covering but i liked how it behaved at vwap (did not work)
My main feeleing was that sellers should be stronger. This regularly puts me into problems when we have defensive sellers controlling the day

20251105 pre market


News
0945 numbers
1000 jolts job numbers
1030 crude
1300 trump

Condition 1
we succesfully broke out of the 6 day balance
we have problems entering the bigger balance area

Condition 0
eth tested lower but opens back in range

Thoughts
yesterdays rth low is poor
in theory we see some backing away and later repair
an eth thats tests lower and gets rejected is often (short term) bullish
y belly h can be a good signpost

My take on today proceedings, but we did cover that nasty Gap-Up from 27 of October which puts some things in order and may be conductive for further leg up in due time as no serious unfinished business left.

Tuesday... looks like a Christmas Tree profile pattern on ES and a 45deg on NQ. Attempt lower in early Asian was quickly reversed. And the PMI's just after the Open hit the go button for the early drive

The gap on the 27th, I put down to excitement on the Monday of FED and tech earnings week. There's also a gap on the 24th due to the CPI earnings

20251105 recap


tested below the poor low and made an excess
consequently they covered
i thought twice that this could develop into a trend day with new money longs
Fortunately i took my money from the table when trump started

Generally i leave much money on the table because i think today is the trendday
But trenddays are very seldom
Take your money and go home
