The Market Gives us clues today…
800am EST
– Dollar Index Futures are trading sideways at their recent highs
o Speed of the tape on the dollar is very slow, < 100, which means our other markets will be slow also.
o Average true range is the lowest its been in two weeks
Tells us that the price action we are trading with has been getting worse by the day this week.
This may be the worst price action we’ve seen all month
830am EST
– Euro Futures are trending down, breaking new lows on fears of rising unemployment in Greece this morning.
o With the dollar at its highs, we now know to look for a DX-pattern LONG on the Euro, we need the euro to bounce off these lows..may not be possible today.
o Pace of tape is slower than usual, lots of RED = very slow price action
o Average true range is the lowest its been in two weeks
Tells us that the price action we are trading with has been getting worse by the day this week.
This may be the worst price action we’ve seen all month
945am EST
– Look at the Average true range
o Dollar index has fallen
o Crude is Rising
o Euro is falling
o Getting mixed signals (crude rises while dollar falls)
1000am EST
– Getting mixed signals on Gold futures
o See the ATR rising off its lows
o But the price action is sitting quietly at its prev close and today’s open
This is concerning b/c trading at the OPEN of the day is considered higher risk
– Remember, yesterday we didn’t see any price movement from 1030-1100am, so today may be similar.
1100am
– Price begins to increase speed.
– Crude Oil Futures are REALLY moving fast now
– We took the Euro long for the DX-Pattern and got stopped out for -13ticks.
– We took the overnight trade on the Euro and made 20 ticks, so no big deal
