20240722 pre market


News
10:00 housing numbers
13:00 bond auction

Condition 1
3 day liquidation break

Condition 0
We open clearly higher but inside of range

Thoughts
The question is when that liquidation will be over
Fridays laggard sellers could get in trouble if we move higher today

Value is higher the second day
Market runs in one direction only to reverse totally
I think the market is indecisive and these moves are market maker games

20240725 pre market



News
1300 bond auction

Condition 1
Market is imbalanced down
Strong gap and go trendday yesterday that broke out of prior balance
We are in the area of yearly va and yearly vwap sd1

Condition 0
we open in range
on explored lower but failed to continue

Thoughts
There is some potential for short term covering
But the main direction is clearly short
I would not think about change until we see acceptance above yesterdays mid

20240729 pre market



News
Tue amc msft
wed amc meta
thu amc amzn and aapl
fr nfp

most important: wed fed

Condition 1
we are in a 3 day balance
above is a downtrend
friday is an inside day (which is a form of balance)

Condition 0
we tried higher in eth but failed twice
we open inside the inside day

Thoughts
The question is if we start a next directional move before the fed
I would not be surprised if we do not and only chop around
