News
we had nfp this morning
10:00 feds bowman

Condition 1
we are balancing around the top of a 4w balance area for two days now
yesterday sell off is taken back today

Condition 0
we open near y h with a non true gap of 1%

Thoughts
Lets see if yesterdays selling gives the "energy" to clearly break out to the upside
But do not forget: For now it is only overnight (which does not mean a lot)
Let them prove it in rth

20250609 pre market



News
us china trade talks
11:00 numbers

Condition 1
3 days of indecisiveness at the top of a 4 week balance area

Condition 0
eth and open in range
> trade later

Thoughts
The last 3 days
Market is very indecisive
Sensitive for news of low importance
Does not find a sustainable direction
Makes many inflections throughout the day
Typical for a market that is controlled by short term traders
runs in one direction to turn on a dime and go in the other
Defenitely not a market to have bias and go for larger moves
Be patient and wait for smalll scalping opportunities

20250610 pre market



News
-

Condition 1
Holding the break out of 4w Balance but getting no further traction

Condition 0
Volatile eth took out both sides of rth

Thoughts
The market is only 3% away from the ath
Everything looks stable but we see no traction
Seems that the market could be too long and in need of an inventory correction (liquidation)
This is nothing to position for
Market can grind slowly higher as long as it wants
We simply have to save our emotional and financial energy and wait for times of more opportunity
