Stocks are trading sideways after Friday’s rally. The British Pound and European stocks are lower as polls show a narrow majority of Scottish voters favor independence from the UK: a referendum vote is scheduled for September 18. European stocks were also pressured from an investor sentiment survey (Sentix), which showed a larger than expected drop in September. There is no US data due today.
Sept eMini S&P Futures: It’s on the Sell day of the Taylor Trading Technique cycle; this suggests we look for a two sided trade today. It spent much of the night in a channel between 2001.75 and 2004.50.
Sept. eMini NASDAQ Futures: Another TTT Sell day, another channel- here it’s between 4080 and 4086.
Dec. T Bonds: It’s rallying on a TTT Buy day; there’s Fibonacci retracement resistance at the session high of 138-19.
Dec. Euro: Breakout setup (ID, range contraction, doji). For reference prices use last Thursday’s low of 1.2921; on the upside use Friday’s high of 1.3005.
Dec. Swiss Franc: Another breakout setup; on the downside use Friday’s low of 1.0724.
Dec. Canadian Dollar: It sold off out of a breakout setup. Friday’s low of 9150 was the first downside breakout reference price; now I would watch for a break below the session low of 9140. Trade or Fade (my breakout trade advisory) has the downside breakout level at 9135 with a first target of 9104.
Dec. Gold: TTT Sell day. With the daily trend down, a break below 1262.80 (Friday’s post NFP low) could see downside follow through.
Dec. Silver: Another TTT Sell day. The rally was unable to clear old low resistance at 1935.5; there could be a bigger downside move if it breaks below the session low of 1917.
Oct. Sugar: Breakout setup; I would continue to watch Friday’s high and low as breakout reference prices.
Dec. Coffee: Good selloff out of a breakout setup; a daily trend line at 192.00 is the next downside target.
Nov. Natural Gas: Breakout setup. A downside move failed last night; is there more to the rally? Watch Friday’s high of 3.848.
Nov. Soybeans: TTT Sell day; will a break of the overnight low (1011-2) see downside follow through?
Dec. Wheat: Look for downside follow through if it remains below the Thursday low of 527-4.
