Good morning and Happy Thursday!


Markets hit another set of all time highs as investors still seem very comfortable deploying capital at these elevated levels. There was a decent liquidation break yesterday which started around 1:00 PM EST, and there was some further selling after the close when TSLA reported some disappointing earnings, however markets this morning are holding up relatively well.


There was a bit of "topping" yesterday as the most amount of time and volume sit well above 4910 in the /ES so there may be some longs "trapped"! This means that as participants bought yesterday and thought the markets only go up and go up forever, no new buyers emerged and the liquidation break brought prices lower. This does not mean a definite top but be on the lookout for further weakness which could cause some "late to the party Charlies" to become very nervous, very fast!


In the profile pic below, I have marked off some very important levels for the day. The upper pink arrow marks off where some traders "could potentially be trapped" and the lower pink line, which sits around 4875 would definitely change the trend and tone of the markets! (Hence it is my downside target area)


Now we are not near those levels yet but if we start taking out overnight lows, which currently sit at 4892, then look for yesterdays lows to be taken at 4889 then target 4875. IF traders and buyers support overnight and yesterdays lows, then the current trend stays in tact and Fantasy land is alive and well!!! Prices which stay above 4910 (which is yesterdays 1/2 back) means that our upper targets would then be in play...upper pink arrow!!


Futures are gapping mostly higher this morning with overnight inventory 100% net long and we are inside of yesterdays range. This means status quo.


And yes, there WAS another new VPOC added yesterday so we now sit with 16 untested points of control below us. I have NEVER seen this before. Think about black or red showing up in Roulette 16 times in a row....the odds of this happening are infinitesimally low!!

downside target is: 4880-75


/NQ upside target is: 17,730-750

holding below $488 to play a break and retest short target $486 first then $484


SPX - I want to see the Gap filled from last week where Demand is at $4840-4850.

- Break and rest to play long targeting $4860 first then $4875

long targeting a new HOD


Also watching …


AMD Supply flipped to Demand at $176-178 with support and old demand at $170-72

- I ideally want to be playing long after sell offs into key demand, holding above

- If price breaks brow $170 and fails to reclaim above I will look to play short

rallies either at Supply or $212 where buyers becoming trapped targeting $209 then 206


TSLA Huge Sell off over night that could bring downside momentum to /ES and SPY

Have a wonderful day!
