20260121 pre market



NEWS
Trump speaking in Davos now
Comments can come all day
10:00 supreme court?
10:00 numbers
13:00 bond auction

CONDITION 1
otf down

CONDITION 0
eth mostly in the spike (confirming down)

THOUGHTS
biggest challenge is this news bs :-)
A good short move is when coveing has failed

20260121 recap



we started with stressing the short-positioned (Covering)
Then we rolled over to the short side (directional)
In FGH there were signs that we have problems with going lower
- ES failed to get previous poc
- NQ failed to get IBL
Then we got positive news with denmark-trump and covered hard

That is a nice example how the reaction to news depends on the positioning of the people

Yesterday, in late ETH, (pre Trump speech) you could sense the market 'feeling' for a bottom after the move down. Quite a bit of size near the Lows, Buyers were happy to buy of Sellers. Or maybe they knew what T was going to say.....

Also, call me cynical, when the market dips they always seem to roll out the Nvidia CEO to make a speech... Always worth a good move upwards.

Condition 1
market jumped back in balance area after positive trump comment

Condition 0

on long oni

20260122 recap



in ETH we continued previous days covering
in rth we sold off a bit and then "egged up"
liquidated in last hour

The marked trade was a execution mistake (you need a small break before you buy this)
A mistake that is typical from coming after midtime- break and beeing not fully concentrated

Yesterday can be seen as the belly from the Covering-P that started late wednesday
