20250512 pre market



News
trade talks between us and china were positive

Condition 1 and 0
Very huge gap out of balance area
market opens 3% higher
oni very long

Thoughts
I do not follow large gaps early
large gaps often suck the life out of trade
Do not sit on the flagpole
wait for some balancing of inventory = liquidation

News
10:30 crude inventories

Condition 1
otf up /price exploring

Condition 0

Thoughts
As we are a bit overextended/overbought it gets more and more risky to sit in longs
Wait for some liquidation before you look for longs

Condiiton 1
otf up / price exploring
yesterday inside day (which is a sign of balance)

Condition 0
open near y low after having been lower

Thoughts
The edges of the inside day are good milestones to judge what the markets wants to do
- shake out a few longs and continue higher?
- build a balance area?
- ...

News
1000 MIchigan numbers

Condition 1
otf up / price exploring

Condition 0
We open with small gap up

Thoughts
Market is a bit overextended
There will be better opportunities after we have seen a liquidation and have a defined balance area
Do not anticipate a liquidation, wait until it happens
Do not sit in longs

13:30 feds kashkari


Condition 1
otf up
todays gap down brings the market in balance

Condition 0
Big gap down after rating downgrade

Thoughts
We are in a strong up-market
The actual development will shake out some poor located longs
Lets see if it does more (or not)

Judge the market in relation to reference levels/millestones
If there were any serious selling after a gap down the market should not go through the previous low that easy like it did today

20250527 pre market



News
10:00 numbers
11:30 numbers

Condition 1
10 day balance area
On friday we tested the downside but (for now) failed

Condition 0
i ignore yesterday
we open with a big gap up

Thoughts
If we hold these prices this is a look below balance and fail (which is bullish)
As we are already in the middle of that balance area we could see chop
